Book Drive
Both me and Adhya are avid readers, and we both cherish the impact literature has had on our lives. What may seem like mere words for a person on the outside, shaped us and made us who we are today. More than once, we’ve forgotten the world and immerse yourself into the carefully crafted universe of Jane Austen, f.scott Fitzgerald and Leo Tolstoy. It was hence, an extreme honour for us to share this world with those couldn’t afford to get lost in it themselves. Years of reading had resulted in unnatural mounds of books, and we came up with the idea to donate all of our books to a government school. Not only our own, we recruited books from friends, family and acquaintances; and we were overjoyed by the amount we got to donate. It may seem silly. I hope the books can have the same impact on them, as they did on us. In more ways than one, it feels like sharing a piece of the childhood we were privileged to have.
