Wistfully yours...

All the wonderful books on science, humor, philo, math, fiction - on an impulse I turned my back on them and turned to the Children's Section in Landmark (bookstore). I decided to pick out and buy a book each from all the series I used to love as a kid - so I landed up with Adventures of the Wishing Chair, the Mystery of the Banshee Towers, Five go off in a Caravan and the Island of Adventure...umm...let me see now...how can I describe what it felt like to be reading them again???...awesome? amazing? wonderful? nah...thats lame...more like a lost world come back maybe.... MAY be....

Seriously, cant find words to describe it...all the characters youve lived with...the secret longings you've had to own a wand, or meet a pixie, or live in a choclate house, the days when you modelled yourself on Darell Rivers or wished you could meet Mam'zelle, or wished you too had a car shed-turned-playroom to hold secret meetings, or could go off on hikes on bicycles with the Famous Five, or longed for a dog like Timmy, or found yourself to be able to relate to Bets, or wanted to meet Mr. Goon or see Fatty in disguise, wished you too could find hidden maps and secret tunnels...oh the days you bought torches thinking maybe, maybe :) ....

It felt good to be back :)
