00:00The book is not just about passing exams and moving to the next class.
00:03The book turns you into the individual that you would be.
00:07Your textbook's first thing must be your first circle of friends.
00:11It is a bit funny if we disregard a textbook and ask for other things.
00:15Yes, other things are important.
00:17But even those other things open up from the textbooks themselves.
00:21My father's library, there was this Freedom at Midnight,
00:24The Wonder That Was India, Lapierre, Bosham.
00:26These authors were all there.
00:27But I could read them only because, first of all, I had read my textbooks.
00:32Textbooks lay the foundation.
00:34And then you can raise a beautiful building and keep adding stories.
00:37But without textbooks, nobody will speak to you.
00:39No author will be able to relate to you.
