Remember
all those slumber parties in Enid Blyton books which we all were hoping to have
in real life? The cellars and rooftop scenes? What if a place could give you that experience in real life?
Some
people just happen in your life. And that's how I met a friend of mine who is
now fondly referred as a coffee affair. When a routine movie plan was dropped
we cousins and friends decided to drop in to his place which I was just
familiar from his words and videos and pictures.
But
what awaited us was more than a mere house.
It was
an experience.
Those
high roofs, cellars, brick walls, vast open spaces, balconies with cozy seats
where you can spend hours lost in books or nature, wall attached beds which
gives you a feeling of sleeping inside an open cave, big rooms where you can
have midnight parties like those girls in Malory Towers, huge windows which
give assess to roof to reach there like the cousins in Famous Five. Oh! Wish I had some photographs to share with you all.
It was a one moment of soulgasm.
It was
a walk through a beautiful book past, where the images from all those books I
read, the scenes I so wished could live, came true.

Today’s Prompt – “Nostalgia”
Ah! Enid Blyton....it brought back many fond memories of my loving relationship with the library at school :-P How i used to spend hours reading books and Enid Blyton and Ruskin bond's books where among the various others i read!
ReplyDeleteSounds super awesome!! I wish you'd taken pics though, you know, so that we could also see :)

Nicely written, Sheethal. I could visualize it and glad you had a beautiful experience. I guess it's just one of those moments when something you read meets something you need.
ReplyDeleteWow , you must have had so much fun.. I also dream of having a library in my home with a cosy corner where I can read . Would have loved to see the pictures.
