Davinder Singh can be surprisingly insightful sometimes. My surprise is likely to be borne out of the times I listened to his half-baked ideas. He said that my obsession with reading when I was younger most probably why I don't remember a lot of things that the siblings do. I never thought that inhaling books the way I did would be a protective factor. But he was right. My perspective about things broadened in a way that would have only been possible if I had people in my life who spoke about such ideas. I had to discover a lot on my own and some of it was entirely through books. It's honestly remarkable that I had never thought of this. And it was also surprising that they remembered the time when I used to read to them, more so when they told me that they liked it! Now, I don't remember why I decided to borrow those particular books and read them to the siblings. If I were to guess, it was to probably show them the joy of reading.
It was such a shared experience, living through everything. Labels: Thoughts
