The diverse Life

Harry Potter 7 - no spoilers, I promise

I am another year older now, but still, I am holding a Harry Potter book on my way to work. The train journey seems pretty short nowadays. The usual “are we there yet” has given way to “oh no, only one stop to go!” as I hurried through the pages before I need to alight and head for my office desk, which seemed extremely uninviting these days - I would rather be with my book. I try to make time at night, but it makes the morning a torture. Do this a few days and work suffers. *Ssssh* nobody knows.

Sometimes, I can’t believe I can lose myself in a kid’s book. After all, it’s “just a storybook”. But when reading it, I gladly succumb to the world that is Harry Potter. Somehow, losing myself into the fantasy world beats going back to reality. But the book has to end, and when my nose finally lifts out from the book, I am another year older. Time doesn’t stand still, but it’s worth dipping into dreams now and again, after all, all realities started off with a dream, or an idea - just like writing Harry Potter.

Well done Ms Rowling - for giving me a different excuse to keep awake.
