My journey of reading

Hi guys!

How many of us feel drowsy at the sight of a very historic 725-page novel [or more than that!]
The habit of reading is contagious. Once you get the taste of it, it would be absolutely impossible to control! Okay, let me share my own experience.

This journey started with a disinclined toddler (me) and an enthusiastic,supportive mother (my mom). I felt lazy to read a book. My mom tried to persuade me into doing so. At first, it felt like a punishment. My mom used to bribe me those days by rewarding a candy for every two hours of reading. I started with Bubbles and Pepper series at the age of four. So I first started with such books. Soon, I was addicted to it.

I also realized my language skills had improved a lot and my vocabulary had widened. I found it much more easier to communicate with people and I was much more fluent than I was before.

A scientific study also said that reading trains your brain. It strengthens the areas that are responsible for cognitive skills, intelligence and memory.

I would recommend you to start with short stories [maybe consisting of 40-50 pages]. One has to find his/her stream of interest and you will start to enjoy it!!

Bon voyage! Good luck!😊😊

Splendid Sisters! 👧👧

Hi guys! The person who embraced my successes and adversities, the one who always gave me a quick tickle and who made me realize the purpose of life is whom I want to share about today. Dear reader, if you are an elder brother/sister to a younger sister, you should consider reading this. Most elder siblings resent their younger sisters due to their drama-queen attitude. That does happen, a sister can be a brat sometimes. But, you know what? They can be heavenly blessings. They are cherubic sweet little angels, ready to bless your day and mine with a captivating smile (and no sister can be as sweet as mine, I bet!) who are ready to sacrifice anything for the defence of yours. Even if they have to take the second pick, they (almost) never protest. My sister is no less. She is classy, cool, carefree, hardworking, ideal and witty, the perfect figure of the today's independent modern woman's characteristics. She has an unbelievable ability - she can maintain size zero with...

Saffron

The snow of the mountains, still Bear the scarlet stains of your final act, The crisp, solemn winter air of Pinglan, still Stands a witness to the last moments of greatness. Even on your human case crumbling, The brilliance of your sacrifice Shone through the valiant bullet wounds. No matter the ages that trudge through, The rousing drum of your strength, Bravery amid paralysing pain, Strength amid the chaos, The sincerity of your offering, Like that of the great Kunwar Singh, Will echo in my heart for a lifetime. Your willing welcome of the last second, Pushes me to transcend the trivialities of life, And readily sacrifice what man holds on to, For a purpose greater than myself Or anything that I call my own. The unfathomable love and pride you nurtured For the soil that we shared, Stirs my soul to rise to the occasion, And fight till the very end, Even if it meant sacrificing myself. As you arrived home, after months of separation Wrapped in streaks of saffron and emerald, Our h...

I'm not a stereotype!

"Oh, that one over there seems dark; should be a Madrasi." "Look, these Nigerian apes are here too! Thugs they are..," "Don't cry like a girl, boys aren't meant to cry!" "Why is he in the kitchen? He isn't supposed to do the chores!" You might have noticed what is common in these statements. You're right. Stereotypes. Stereotypes can be a part of daily life, no matter who you are. It can affect how you share ideas, communicate and think about yourself. From a classroom to a delegate meeting, stereotypes can be everywhere! Sometimes, people consciously or indirectly label another person through prejudice. Judging another person without knowing them personally. Labeling is absolutely unacceptable. Every person is diverse and unique in their own way. Racism isn't new to us. Branding a person regardless of their character can reflect how you perceive people and your racism. Even if we don't mean it, we...
