Today was the 1st class of seminar and our faculty discussed many small but important things with us. She told us about the book ‘Invisible Cities’ by Italo Calvino. After she made us understand why reading text is important? so what I understood after the lecture is that reading text help us to develop the social, intellectual and professional thinking of the person and also it helps in better imagination, story making or telling, helps us to think out of the box and enhances our limits and boundaries while thinking. After that our faculty asked us to write about our personal space and as my personal space is bedroom so I wrote about my bedroom.
Have you ever wondered how something so simple as your bedroom could have so much meaning? How a place where one usually just sleeps and doesn’t return until the next night, could be so special to someone? It does make one think, once stopped and thought about. To some, it means as much as a gym does to a basketball player or as much as a tree does to a monkey. But then there are also those who still think of their bedroom as just a place to sleep and prepare themselves. I guess things have different meanings for each person, but for many including myself, their bedroom ranks near the top of the list. A bedroom is meaningful because often it is where one grows up, where lots of time is spent, and where one can bring out there inner-most self.
A bedroom is not something that changes from day to day, but rather something that is pretty permanent. Many people grow up in the same room that they spend the first part of their life in. It is something that people grow attached to and become accustomed to, like a college student becomes accustomed to studying. For this factor, change is not so much a good thing but rather a thing of frustration. It is nice to have a place to call home, and better yet, a place to call one’s own bedroom. Once one is settled, it is usually of best nature to stay settled. Through this settlement, it is easiest to see how much of importance one’s bedroom may mean to them. My bedroom has meant a lot to me due to the fact that I have been in the same place for the majority of my years.
Another important reason on this subject is that there is usually a lot of time spent in one’s own room Besides the ten hours of sleep everyone gets a night in their room, there is often a great deal of time spent there throughout the day. You must never forget about the six hours (at least) of homework per night that must be done. And what could possibly be a more relaxing place than your own room? It’s amazing how one can concentrate so well in their room, unlike a college student who may have trouble trying to focus through all of the distractions.
