Library
As a bibliophile, the first thought that comes to my mind is that the books I read are the best landmarks to start this inner exploration.
Years later I wrote about the first library that let me in.
The library had every book I could think of; forget mathematics, its collection of Indian language material was better than any library back home. There were no restrictions on the number of books one could check out, no one asking why I was taking the books I had in my hand. Freedom, plain and simple.
Every book the essays mention, shelved by the floor of the house where it comes up most. 263 books.
