books that touch the soul

I'm a bookie.If you ask me what gift I want for something,my reply would be Books.loads and loads of em and I'll be really happy. I've read a lot of books but only some of them have touched my soul .others were just a one time read.
We should really appreciate quality writers.not the kind of one's who write teen fictions mixed with  occassional romance and Masala,so as to attract young people.when we finish reading those books,we would be left with a sense of emptiness.like why in the world you chose to read that book.Trust me,it's a bad feeling when a book that you've brought and had taken a lot of time to read,finally fails to satisfy you and the story doesn't impress.
I'm the kind of reader who get involved into the book deeply that I become one of the character,so the direction of the story affects me a lot.sometimes I'm happy,sometimes it makes me so sad that I can  see teardrops wetting the pages of the book I'm reading.I guess that's the quality a writer,a good author should've.To touch the readers soul.To leave a mark on them.inspire them to live,to love,to fight and then to  smile.
When you close the pages of a book and feels a warmth in your heart,like you just lived through the characters,then that's the best feeling a reader can get after reading a good book and their satisfaction is the biggest credit a writer can get as well.

I wrote this because I've started to find some big writers,who used to write well had now just turned into businesses minds,creating books that have a life less story line.mean while some talented small writers had really done wonders and I appreciate them for it.

I see everything A lot clearly now Not only the sunshine And the greenery But also the mask That hides your face..... For the past few days I was experiencing a probl em with my vision.I couldn't clearly read what was written on the board in class.it was my besty who helped me figure it out and she exclaimed out loudly "you might be going blind!" Obviously I wasn't but i got a little bit scared,so decided to see a doctor.I was sure that I would need glasess and voila! the check up confirmed that exactly. So the next thing I remember , I was at an optical centre, searching for glasess that would look good on my face.what I wanted was something thick,dark and big.something that would look serious but what they had was these cheerfully cute glasess with frames that came in multicolours.That didnt impress me well so just when I was reconsidering the thought of visiting another shop,this one glass caught my eye.It was perfect and just what I wanted.Dark frame with a...

The Queen

She followed the sun But they never saw, She had stories to tell, But never did they hear She seeked the wild, That grew within her She breathed fire, When her way went dark A lone girl,all alone On her own path She hid her smile, In her footprints Left for those With a gypsy soul. She fell In love with the Words she read, The little Queen With a broken heart The woman who danced To her own song. Copyright Radhika Rani

Venting

"She died and I survived,and because I survived, I died everyday." This line stuck to me the day I read the book "I too had a love story." I read it when I was 14.It felt strange to me and I prayed it would never happen to me, and now, 3 years later I had to go through the same. It's easy for people who die. They just die and it's over  for them. It's people who love them that suffer the most when they're gone. As usual, everybody won, and I lost.
