                                    The magic of a book - An amazing journey from a raw wood to a book


      Here  Carl Edward Sagan, the famous American astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, great author all rolled into one, puts the theme in an interesting, inspiring and beautiful words with such a profoundity, that it surpasses everything. To quote his words,

“ What an astonishing thing a book is ! It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of anotherperson, may be somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia,an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of different epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.“

What a splendid journey of a blessed raw wood of the tree resulting in the highest culmination, namely the magical creation of a book !
