And that's my book of awesome!
Book of awesome? My book of awesome! Oh! Well, how would it be, if it were written by me. That's a lovely prompt team Momspresso. Thankyou so much for this opportunity. It's going to be my dress rehearsal for me to publish a book in the future. I know I am being very wishful here....but, why not?
Exactly, so let's start with the 'Foreword'.
I would love my mom to write it for me.
It's going to be a book of awesome, so the awesomest person in my life would naturally do the honours.
She can share some of my awesome characteristics or for that matter, maybe some of my not so awesome too! You know how moms are. Kahipe bhi pol khol sakte hai!
Yet, I will give her the prerogative here.
Then for the 'Preface', my preface (read my book's preface) would read a quote of Steve Jobs, nothing personal about 'Apple', I don't like Apple products, nor use any, apart from eating one, just to keep doctor away. Yah! So the preface -
"Your time is limited, don't waste it living someone else's life".
You want to be awesome? So be you.
For 'Acknowledgement', I have dozens of people in my life who I would love to mention. My family, my friends; close and far, new and old, the people who left me half way through the journey, either left this earthly abode or left 'This' (read me) lassy bold. I wish the ones leaving forever rest in peace, and the rest, will forget with a crease!
People who support me, I know are always there, they have their own reasons. Also who don't, will always have their own reasons too! So I happily acknowledge everything.
'Introduction' to the book of awesome has to be equally stunning. So picking up some incredible, wonderful, amazing lines would solve the purpose. Like, It amazes me how the Moon glows at night, knowing that it's glow is chartered, from the brightest of the stars, the Sun. Yet it, without any hesitations, lives like a minion. And then, the poets, the lyricists, the writers, love to mention the Moon, more often than the Sun!
Or, something like,
The metamorphosis of a tiny crawling caterpillar into a gliding beautiful butterfly, is just so awesome. It inspires us to believe in the unbelievable, it makes us to see the light that is waiting for us at the end of the tunnel. It makes us survive through the darkeness like in a cocoon, for we know the luminescence isn't a far-fetched dream!
Now, that the intro is sorted, my book will have an 'Index'. I know it's a book of awesome not a textbook for a school curriculum. But that's what is awesome about it. You can select the topic and page from the index and read the same at any given point of time. The chapters will make your life simpler. And yes, these days, we all are lacking patience. We skip adverts while watching videos on YouTube. Or more better, we spend money on numerous OTT platforms for subscriptions, so that we don't see the adverts at all. And furthermore, we keep fast forwarding the boring scenes. So to avoid wasting your time, the index will materialise the goal.
The Chapters in this book wouldn't be any kind of preaching, let me make this clear. If you are looking for a guide on 'how to live a successful life', I am sorry this book won't be helpful.
I won't give you lectures on what to eat, how to exercise, or how to make people fall in love, or how to cast away evil eye. No, no, nothing of that.
However this book will let you experience all this when you end up being awesome.
The 'Glossary' won't be necessary as this book won't have anything difficult for you to understand. Life, as it is, is onerous, so let's keep it simple here.
I will have to state the 'Resources' so that you getting my book will be easier. But if you look around, the resources are present in the surroundings. We just need to have clarity of vision, be receptive and improve our perspective. Then I guess you won't need to buy any Book of awesome.
* For the people who don't read much -
When you open a book to read, all the above mentioned steps are there, page wise, Foreword, Preface, Acknowledgement, Index, The content, Glossary, Resources.
