I have always been a voracious reader and interested in books. Books have been a key companion to me all through my life.
I have a collection of books about which I am really proud. I always thought how about these books also benefit others rather than only me and my children.
So I tried to setup a library where I work, so my colleagues and friends could utilize them. But this project didn't take off. Probably many reasons. They were all IT professionals and no longer wanted to go through physical books. They were not inclined to books. What ever may be the reason, that project didn't take off. So I was also thinking of ways to reach these books to wider audience.
That is when I got this God sent opportunity to set up a library in some remote village, where people are really and genuinely interested to read and dont have availability of quality books to read. So this is really a blessing from God, because now I can give my most treasured possession to people who really deserve and are willing to utilize and appreciate it and hopefully preserve it and may be pass it on to future generation. Knowledge and books are for that to get passed on generation after generation. They are the greatest treasures you can give anybody. ( At least thats what I think). I am thankful to my Manager for being the God's Messenger to reach out to me and provide me this opportunity. He is a wonderful person and has been serving the society in million ways and he was kind enough to involve me in one of them.
So the upcoming Library in a remote village is named "SriRam Pusthakalaya". I have sent the first consignment containing the first set of books for the library. Just capturing the books details below, so dont lose track of my beloved books.
Will keep tracking this progress and also post about how the books were received by people there and whether they were utilized for reading etc.
