Hello friends
Once in a week I will go to the library and bring some weekly magazines home and read it and return back after one week. But my husband buy the magazines of his choice as he feels that if it is a library book we must return it back in the stipulated time, but if it is our own book we can read it when ever we find time. May be he is true to some extent but we can not afford to so many books every week but can read them in the library by paying a small amount. What about you? Do you prefer to read the library books or buy your own?

Hi balu
Even I too will do the same like you. Certain books like herbal medicines, embroidery, and tailoring are assets for me and so I have bought it for me. I think you know Patanjali publications. From there I bought, JARIBOOTI RAHASYA. It contains all the herbal plants pictures and its uses for various diseases. Another book is AUSHAD DHARSHAN and it contains all the home made medicines info and both the books were written by Acharya Balakrishna. Some embroidery books and tailoring books also I bought for me which I feel is my asset

Hi
It is available in all the leading book shops. It belongs to the patanjali yogpeeth run by Swami Ramdev who is a famous yoga guru. Every day you can watch Aastha channel at 7.30 in the morning for herbal plants and its uses by Acharya Balakrishna Maharaj which gives a high knowledge of each and every medicinal plant and its various uses. You can also visit www.divyayoga.com for getting the books and medicines by post.

Hi neelu
Seeing you after a long time. Indeed it is a happy moment.
What your husband say is correct. By reading books, we can undoubtedly improve our knowledge and also certain skills in using certain stylish words. But whenever you find time, please try to read any book of your choice.

My husband and I have a number of magazine subscriptions. We read the magazines at home, and then when we are finished with them we remove our address labels from the magazines, and i take them with me when I go to the coffee shop in the afternoon. The owner loves the magazines, because people come in and read them while they drink their coffee. Also, the magazines get recycled by me after I've read them.

Wow!
This is indeed a very noble gesture and a good thought. Even after we are finished with the books, instead of throwing it or discarding it, thinking of others, and taking pains to carry them all the way to the coffee shop and help others to read that magazine indeed is a good idea. Even we also donate the books we have purchased to the library so that others also can read it

Thank you. It's not much work at all to carry them to the coffee shop, as it's only a mile up the street from here, and there is a bus that goes from my front door right to the front door of the cafe. It would be almost the same aount of work to put them in a garbage bag, and throw them away, and that wouldn't be good for the environment at all, so why not take 'em up the street to the cafe? I wish more people in the world would do something like that. Maybe people all over the world will read this, and be inspired by my idea.
Thank you so much for the best response.

I follow your proceedure and also your husband's opinion. I buy few books like some tamil weeklies and Readers Digest and read other magazines in the library. I buy some books also and take regularly from a big library by going once in a month and bringing home 6 books.

Hi bhuwanji
Even my husband will buy India Today regularly besides, The Week, and some other magzines. I like The National Geographic and Reader's Digest. I feel very bad for all your valuable books were eaten away by termites. Next time when ever you happen to go out of station for a long time, kindly see that some neem leaves or naphthalene balls were scattered in each and every cupboard where you keep your books as the termites are the worst enemies of the book along with rats
