SHELVED PASSION

Reading used to be one of my passions. As a teenager I could get lost in the pages of any romantic paperback or novel I could get my hands on. It was my addiction, eating and sleeping was something I could do without as long as I did not have to put down the book I was reading. Even school was not safe for my addiction to reading, luckily I didn't flunk. That was before but now I seem to have lost that love for reading. We get Sunday Newspaper delivered to our home yet I never read it. I should actually read the paper since the its all about whats happening in the world. I guess its also because holding and touching the newspaper leaves ink and dirty smudges in your hands. My little one is two years old and loves to pretend reading the newspaper with her Mima. After all the pretend reading and role playing grandma she ends up with black smudges all over her face and specially the hands. I wonder how those people who work at a publishing company handle all that. They probably use Anilox roll to help get rid of the ink in an Eco-friendly way. Anyhow, I should start reading the newspaper and get our money's worth.
