My name is Rabindra. I read in class 17. Today, the topic of my essay is library; and here is how I begin.
The best library in the world should have a quote written in its wall and that is, “Library is great not because of its collection, but because of its use.”
I like the quote and our library too has it. This does not insinuate that the library does not have a sufficient inventory of books. Well someone can assume that. But for me and my dear uncle, the library is gone for the piece of knowledge, and more for the peace of mind. One philosopher (well that is me) once said a library is a place where you will meet great and wonderful people.
One book that I once read also said, Thomas E Addison and Albert Einstein never went to the library or a school. Well, this is an example to get you out of stereotypical thinking that only the scientists, or whatchamacallit, are the great and wonderful persons. First, you should think of yourself as the great person and you will, I am sure, meet another great person.
Ok, focus on the library.
An ideal library has two sections: one section with bookshelves racked with reference books which can be borrowed for an overnight. Overnight is the exact word to be pronounced each time you go ask someone. Another section has more cupboards filled with general books which you can borrow for a week and renew again if you want. With a library card, two books can be issued a time.
If you want to be a successful person don’t waste your time in the library. Go meet important people, make plans, invest money, behave and interact with the tycoons. But if you want to be a good person, the library is the best place to be. There is a high chance that a student like me would choose to do the latter. Become a good person. Come on! You know the pros of trying to become a good person.
In the exit, there are special white laying doors with sensors to detect if anyone is stealing the book. I heard, and I thought this is completely foolish to think like that. This is just the rumor which, in no day, will be true. And by the way, there is one mythical--but that exists--registry at the entrance right to the door of the library. Well, you are supposed to write your name, father's and mother's name, DOB and your permanent residence in that. Have you ever dared to write on that?
In a book that is not yet written, your great grandson will read the following basic theories of library:

In a book that is not yet written, your great grandson will read the following basic theories of library:
Projection Theory: Pushing things further, we can extend the concept of a library to the real world. I mean, a library may not necessarily be surrounded by four closed boundaries. The library is where you learn something. It is the place with an enormous collection of words and theories which are transferred to a person who reads them. That means it serves as a source of knowledge. So, anything that serves you to transfer the knowledge can be regarded as the library and the real world, in every other way, does that. Which again implies; we are all the learners in the whole wide library named earth.
Binomial Distribution: The number of people entering a library at the same time is inversely proportional to the extent of knowledge transferred from a book to the brain. The best combination that can get the most advantage of learning in a library can be obtained by a group of a doublet. So, it has been of profound importance that when many people are in a library, it is better to divide groups into two persons and have them study.
Guess Paper Theory: Some people are in permanent search of easing away the exam tension just like having a tablet of purgative and throwing away the waste in a snap of a finger. For them, guess paper is a real remedy for the fever of exams. They come to search for those guess papers in a library and leave disappointed when they won’t find any. They again repeat the process without knowing that the library is not a place that has exam guess papers in its shelves. Eventually, they resort to the idea of choosing the least thick book (the thinnest one, like BK Mahajan’s Biostatistics) to wallow in the dream of reading a book that is as thin as a guess paper if not a guess paper. Haha! Kakaslai Chot paryo?
Many more theories are in the making. Keep tuning.
