If Your Books Could Talk, Would They Be Worth Listening To?
Kriti Panwar, AIS Gur 46, X A
The aroma in the air called for a beautiful day when you only want the company of a cup of coffee and an enchanting novel that takes you to a magical world. But alas! The student life has only handed me a glass of Bournvita milk and an abundance of textbooks that I never want to open. With a heavy heart, I plunge my hand into my bag pack and surprisingly, heard a clamour of voices emanating from my books. With a jolt, I took my books out of the bag, scared and astonished at the same time, and wait for what they have come to tell me.
History textbook
Hey kid, remember me? I’m your History textbook, the one that only comes out a day before the exam. I know you and I don’t get along well, but you can’t deny the fact that I am more efficient than any sleeping pill could ever be. And even your hatred for me has compelled you to draw hair on the bald men of different centuries who reside in me, and I want to thank you for that. They have stopped fighting with each other now as most of their time is spent admiring their new hairstyles and moustaches in the mirror.
Maths textbook
Hi there! I know you think that I’m the most problematic textbook you’ve ever met. Well, to be honest I do come up with a new problem on every page, no matter how hard you try to make me solution-oriented. But still, I bet my problems are easier than the ones you face in real life, right? By the way, I’m also the witness of all those times you did your calculations on the back pages. (And you thought you are so smart!)
P.S. How about doing rough work somewhere else instead?
English textbook
Ahh, do I really have to introduce myself? I’m the best (and the slimmest). The others are so jealous of my body, and of my ability to keep you engaged for hours without making you feel bored. Although, I don’t appreciate you taking me so lightly and reading me only hours before the exam, I really appreciate the attention. And please! Everyone has problems, even me, so, if you see me falling apart, please get me bound and don’t wait for one of my precious pages to fall out.
Hindi textbook
Suprabhaat! I’m your Hindi textbook, popularly known as a constant headache to all the lazy kids. You might enjoy the colorful pages of that stupid English textbook, but I’m the one who really puts in the effort to teach you your roots. And kripa karke stop mistaking me as an easy-going book that you can mug up in a day. I am a book that requires patience, dedication and a lot of efforts. All the difficult words inside me would take you a million years to comprehend, in case you were hoping to become Kalidasa in a day’s time!
Science textbook
Hi, progenies. I’m the all-rounder, the complete package: three subjects in one! And yet I fail to make a place in your heart. The momentum with which you accelerate away from me doesn’t please my boy Newton. Neither does the reaction in your brain, which replaces your study time with TV time, satisfy Antoine Lavoisier. In the words of Carl Linnaeus, “Use your mammalian body to study, not play!”
As I stood there still absorbing what had just happened, I could hear shouts of “OMG! He did that to you too!” “Lazy kid, doesn’t read any of us” “Not worth saying anything.” Before I could rise to my defense and say something, they vanished.
