Hunger For Knowledge.

With a book in one hand
and the eyes browsing through it
she was taking her food
without any interest
as the book kept her engaged.

Turning the pages with one hand
while the other hand was on food
nothing went to the mouth
while the eyes devoured every line with amour
the food remained in the plate untouched.

Paying no attention to meals
and always reading through
she neglected her health
making her look like a scare crow
skinny and thin bony and gaunt.

The hunger for knowledge
being predominant all through
she could not be without a book for a minute
nor could she restrain from writing for a second
Perhaps it is a mania that is for the good.

The involvement in reading
left her away from gossip
keeping her ears shut to the talks
she enriched herself all through
with figures and facts.

Do not mistake that she remained a book worm
she put her research to good use
imparting the objectives she had learnt
with ardent fervour to those of whom seeking help
and aiding them with learning tools to impress a progress.
