Disappearing act of the joy we call 'Reading'!!

Ok so hospitals are notorious for being depressingly depressive places to be at and I do not beg to differ on that thought.

(My father is unwell and I am in a hospital right now)

To cut a sob story short - with the efficient doctors and the sweet nurses doing their jobs, and I being of not much use except to just sit and stare at the gloomy charts &  smell the medicated air, was thinking what to do. I have my exams next month but can't study or find the will for the love of wise gods.

While reading a few interesting blogs & realizing how I have never really made time to write one, I created a (new) account in a hurry & trust me, for the next 20 minutes while I was busy with the inception of  "Elfin Olive",  I had attained the state of Blogging Nirvana.. 


No worries, no distractions - absolute focus!!  And it felt great!

So anywayyyyyy... What I really wanted to write about is that this picture popped up on my facebook feed recently.

I saw it. I smiled. Then I stopped smiling.

The thought that my kids (if & when I decide to have them in future) might not know the joy such as reading a Famous Four (Enid Blyton) under a blanket with a torch in their hand 'cause it's late & they are supposed to be sleeping orrr refusing to put the Harry Potter down while their mum (yours truly) bellows in their ear about the dinner getting cold, is sad. Very sad....!!!

I know the prelude to my blog is longer than the blog itself.  *What to do, I am cool like that!*  :D
