The Velveteen Rabbit.

I have been told that some books that you read in your childhood, are meant for your childhood. Not be read in your yonger days, and not to be read as you grow. For they are mere fantasy plots, which make you believe in things untrue. But today, I feel literally no shame in saying out loud, that I am sitting near a raging and waving ocean and reading ‘The Velveteen Rabbit’.

You want to know what gave me the courage to do this. Well, it’s something like this-

Okay, neither am a 10 year old nor a 50 year old. But what can I do when this was giving me pleasure beyond words. So I just went ahead and did it.

I read The Velveteen rabbit, sitting at the most favourite place in the world, when I could have done so many other things.

  1. I absolutely love Velveteen Rabbit! There is so much beauty in it:

    ‘When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.’

    I think you made a toy Real as a kid, Moushmi, and that lingering memory is making you read it again 😛 😛

      5. Oh God! I dont know what it was all about but hope things settle down soon….it’s so difficult to deal with emotional turmoils triggered by someone else’s indifferent and caustic behaviour … which particularly impact emotionally not so strong people! Do share with me over mail if you feel like so…if it lessens your pain.
        Im travelling these days hence not coming to wp frequently but im trying to stay in touch…take care!! Let it not make you suffer…your happiness is most important and do protect it with all your might….!!
        And if it makes you feel better….you have that one big happy family to look after!! 😃
