I have always have a perfect dream in my mind to build my own library someday. I would fill it with all my favorite collections and many more books. I believe each gives us some message if we we are willing to understand it.

My library would overlook a beautiful garden with serene & calm environment. For this, city is not best suitable place with all the noise & pollution.

It would contain many rows and columns filled with books of various genres. I would maintain a catalogue for each and every book in the library, making it easy to find exactly what I want at any time. The space would have a beautifully designed resin desks and a comfortable chairs.

The furniture would be in darker tones, creating a warm and grounding presence in the room. Soft, ambient lighting would fill the space, allowing for a calm and immersive reading experience, while adjustable lights would make it brighter whenever needed. The walls would be soundproofed to minimize outside noise as much as possible, preserving the silence and focus that reading and writing demand.

As for writing, it started recently for me, so I would dedicate this space for writing within the same library.

When I start reading, I completely immerse myself in the book and travel into its world. Because of this, I imagine placing a board in front of the library door that reads:
“Reading in progress. Do not disturb.”

Only in emergencies would people be allowed to relay messages. I have a habit of finishing what I start without interruptions. If another task comes up, I prefer to handle it only after completing the current one. Otherwise, I am left with a nagging feeling of incompleteness. This is why the message on the door feels necessary to me.

Overall, the library would carry an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

This is a simple and natural setting for a book lover. I don’t ask for much—just a peaceful space to call my own. It may seem ordinary to the world, but to me, it would be sacred, a place where joy and happiness exist in the quiet companionship of books.
