Is Reading a Good
Habit???
I would wonder if
that is a question or is that a given…….for me it sure is a good habit.
I got into the habit of reading at a very young age, I give
the credit to my parents who bought us interesting comics and books for our
age, and especially to my mother, who read out aloud the short stories to us,
form our library of Children’s books
How does one get into the habit of reading a book if one
isn’t in the habit already? And also in this day and age of computers, when
everything is at hand on a laptop or ones PC then most people do not like to
read from a book any more? Well, I say it’s never too late. Although reading
needs to be inculcated in us from a very young age but one can start reading
and get addicted to books any time. And once you get into this habit you will
defiantly start enjoying being on your own.
How does one know what to read? I think it is a personal
choice, but to get into the habit of reading, start by reading short stories,
articles of your choice in a magazine or news paper. Or better still, read the
latest best seller, since it is something that is a hot favorite of your peer
group! I personally love to know more about our History and I have a passion
for travelling and seeing places, and so my favorite books have been books about
biographies, wars and travelogues. When I was a child my favorites were on
mysteries and adventure!! When one is
alone it’s the best way to spend ones time…read and get to know more about
things.
Mr Pawan , our Librarian, has been emailing us articles from the news papers that are
relevant for all, success stories in the
corporate, fashion articles and also
articles on issues like the climate and
the weather – recently when the cyclone Phailin hit the eastern coast , a
relevant article on how the cyclone is formed , was posted by him to all in the
campus!
Although it is wonderful to actually flip over pages and
read from a book, but I would recommend all to even read on your computers. It
is getting in the habit of reading that is important.
