While playing with the game of words, books knows well how to play with mind, soul and emotions. They possess the power to raise, and also to raze. Provided, which one do you beguile. But one thing is assured, each one of them takes you to the places you might have never imagined about. Reading books, is like watching a dream with your eyes open. Each word christened onto the folio of the book, empowers your imaginary nerves and sketches a glorious picture in front of your eyesight. Books, are certainly the most essential element to be weaved into our lives. And those who can readily relate with this, are tend be diving into online bookstore; on a regular basis!

Some retrospect in the presence of nature. Some find solace amidst pets. While some rest into tranquillity of the words carved into paperbacks. All of these, enacts the support system humankind have strived since years. Not anything, but peace for sure is scored after happy hours of reading. To bask in the flavour of books, is a blissful experience one of it's kind. Even today, in the age of internet and e-books; the bearing with the hardbound books never cease to exist. Apparently, while we go for everything that's 'online'. The case of books, is tilted towards buying physical books than the e-books. Mankind might get spellbound over the comfort and convenience, the online world offers. But the reader spirit beneath the carcass; has only expanded the comfort line to buy books online. He's yet to be bemused by the e-book reading. The online market is too wish enough to apprehend the scenario; and has lined up more space for online book shop India, than the e-book section. Cause, there has a few things that is yet to find a replacement of itself. Books, my friend, is indeed one such thing. Ah! Not thing though, a companion! 

Anna Quindlen, a noted journalist and columnist, has rightly quoted for the books - “Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.” How fluently has she expounded about the spirit of books! There's a whole bunch of reader's community; that would readily agree with her. Not just this, but a lot of other 'overrated-looking' quotes on books. Cause, these species have experienced the magic books spreads. This species have one thing in common hobby, and that is to buy books online. Hectic schedules and bustling days don't allow one to go and visit brick & mortar book stores. That's the basic reason they opt for the online bookstore; sparing them a little more to invest in their dates with reading books.

The pre-eminence of books, is a universally accepted fact. The person who reads, develops the ability to analyse, question and breakthrough the ordinary thinking. He creates his own religion, values and morals. He's not easily influential, and definitely not naive to get easily influenced. He's opinionated, mostly on the right path (depending on the kind of books he read). Online book shop India, is an ocean of books. One just need to be cautious, while picking up the right one! Once it's in your hands; stretch an arm chair in the balcony, sip a brewing cup of coffee and wander through the wonders of the book!

Today, we see Narendra Modi as a figure of towering political influence. His enigma, his personality and his selfless service towards Gujarat and India are a matter of inspiration for everyone across the globe. But very few people know that Narendra Modi's childhood has played a very significant role in grooming him to be the leader that he is today. 

Brief: Bal Narendra

 

From an early age, Narendra grew up in the playfulness of his siblings and the love and care of his parents. As he grew up he started going to school where he made a lot of friends because of his pleasant and friendly nature. In the classroom, Narendra was a very dedicated student and gave full attention to his studies. He even preferred to read after school and spent most of his time at the school's library, reading on various subjects. When he was not reading, he preferred spending time at home in taking care of his little sister and helping his parents in their daily chores. 

Narendra's childhood was not only filled with fun times but also with decisions that required a lot of courage and spontaneous actions. Whenever Narendra saw any one in danger, or injustice being done to them, he would rise up to the moment and made sure that he did something to prevent it. From saving his friend from drowning, to rescuing a helpless bird tangled in kite threads, wherever Narendra saw a life in trouble, he was the first one to come to its aid.Narendra was just as patriotic as he was brave. He participated in all of his school's Independence and Republic Day celebrations with pride. He showed his love for the country by working night and day at the Vadnagar train station to serve tea to the Nation's brave soldiers. He even stayed overnight to make sure that none of the soldiers' needs were left unattended. 

Compassion and Service towards humanity were perhaps some of the biggest virtues that Narendra learned right from an early age. Especially when he saw how people from backward community were treated by the society he was emotionally moved by this treatment and decided to take some action. He chose to do a play, a very creative and powerful medium, to educate the people of the society about this age old social evil. Childhood is the biggest lesson for any human being. Childhood plays a very significant role in molding us. Its experiences shape our personality and its teachings give us direction to become a better human being. From business, to profession, to social service, we as human beings draw inspiration from our childhood. Despite coming from a humble background and facing numerous challenges, Narendra always chose a path that put others before him. He was able to inculcate in himself, all the right values that molded him into a strong and ethical human being. The stories of Bal Narendra are our effort to provide a preparatory point to children as well as their parents in better understanding these values and lessons of life through the example of a great leader.
