Regret of Not reading History in Undergrad ...

Its nice afternoon.sun wont get behind the cloudy sky before 8.30.i am sitting here at cemented street bench which is built as part of extentension paramount plaza at broadway.
Summer has given life to everyone .grass which is near me ,the trees which gets effected by gases released by vehicles and building around still the power of fresh air gives new life to outdoor activities.
Its nice here ,i just finished an engaging and easy reading on Gandhi and Churchil by Arther Rehman.
what a great story teller he is.he should tried writing a fiction than pinning down the extraordinary lives gandhi and churchil. Both are my favorite characters in the history. I am inspired by the oratory power od churchi and shrewd and moral tactics of Gandhi. While reading my old regret of not studying history kept coming back to mind.
when i was in high school history was the details and dates of wars and kingdoms.i decided to study literature because i thought its the literature which would prove window to the world of that particular,i still think the same way though with lots living examples and the way literatures were written. Later it was mitul who would ignite my "sushupt" love for history. He put lots of air and water into the seed which was lying in my mind .this seed was love for history.i always questioned the word itself,why we call history why we dont call herstory....
Anyways it was easy and delighted reading. I could not have read faster if i was not aware my daily public libarary fines of 25 cents. Right now buying books are out of my priority though i am getting better in buying designer ties. Fortunately desire to read and imagine have only increased in last few months. Weekends are mostly spent in working or reading .....

To be continued .........
