Sitting in the library surrounded
by books gives a feeling of comfort. At the same time, it also stimulates the
desire to read more, know more. As I was reading Rajmohan Gandhi’s ‘Mohandas’,
something of the spirit of sacrifice and service that was in the book seemed to
enter the surroundings momentarily. When I came back to my room, my roommates
were rearranging the study tables. So I joined in. I started the exercise
hesitantly. But when it was finished, it opened a new space in the room where
we could study peacefully. Cut off from the beds, facing the beautiful lawn of
the academy and natural light coming through the windows, it was a place that
would tempt anyone to come and spend a few minutes there.
So after the arrangement was
done, we all sat together and began studying. The weather was simply disarming.
It rained and a moody mist engulfed the hills. The scene from the window was
perfect. Study progressed slowly. The seemingly trivial task of arranging the
table and chair at a good place and giving some thought to what we need and
setting up the room accordingly facilitates actions such as studying or being
active so much more. I don’t think I would have enjoyed the day as much had I
been studying from my bed.
