Chaithra,the teacher at Government High School Vadderse shares her inputs on books. For her ,books have been her true soulmates.

Without books God keeps mum, goddess of justice sleeps,science of universe stops,knowledge of the supreme reality limps,words get meaningless,all things are blurred. These words highlight the value of books.Books play an important role in our lives. There is a famous saying ‘Either travel the world or read books’.

Books provide different kinds of knowledge and enhance our knowledge in different spheres like arts,literature,science,law etc. Books act as our teacher,friend,guide and philosopher. They improve our language and vocabulary. They are the main source of education. Some books inspire us and teach us the best lessons of life. Some books teach us how to help the society.

Books are man’s soulmate. One of the best places to read books is the library,a place where there is only silence.In such a place we can read our books peacefully. Books are our real friends. They will always be with us in our good or bad times. Books give good company too,when we feel bored or lonely.

Reading books will open the treasures of our mind,that is why it is said,

‘Books are the measure of a great mind.’

There is no friend as loyal as books.A room without books is like a body without a soul.
