Of a little girl unveiling
the mystery behind the
locked doors.

"Book readers" are special people,
and they will always turn to book as the ultimate pleasure.Those who do not read are the unfortunate ones.There are nothing to wrong with them,but they are missing out on one of life's compensations and rewards..A "great book" is a friend that never let you down..You can return to it again and again and the
joy first derived from it will still be there....!!!!

'the girl on the train'
was the first story of
yours that I read.
And for the first time,
I was taken to the journey
of love. A breathtaking
experience for me.
No, for others it may not be
a full fledged love story
but for me, this story
taught me how to feel.
And later with your every
other story I read in school
I made an image in my head
for you that you must be a
tall and handsome young man,
you know like Instagramable. Instagram, I didn't have at that time so I am just saying it.
But the day I saw your picture, I couldn't believe my eyes that you were way too old for me. Ok! maybe not Instagram but you are imprinted on my heart. You will always be there.
A die-hard fan of yours.
Happy birthday Sir.-
