I would like to get a content from you on the trend of Indians choosing non-IT job oriented studies. We know even if students choose electronics or mechanical still work on IT. But the data that you present should show the overall trend with Indians choosing the stream of work. This will give us a view to us where Indians will be and how many markets can Indians penetrate into out of IT itself. I know you can add versatile sides to this ask and present even more good informative content. 🙂✌

I LOVE BOOKS . BOOKS ARE THE SOUL OF LIFE The FATTER the fiction/ non fiction book ,the more i love to read it .I have once walked out of a bad movie in the interval and sat and finished a wheel of time series book in the lobby :) .

Thank you, First Post & Palki maam, for these stories. I really look up to them. They are fact bombs. I would like to have some content on how spiritual practices can enhance a minimalist lifestyle, why stoicism is not synonymous with carelessness and how spirituality connects success and achievement in this rat race age. Why spirituality is not similar to any particular religion and different religious practices and how it helps us to maintain the harmony around us.

Whenever I talk about a book I've read in front of others, 99% of them just seem to be bored by it, or simply just listening to get through this part of the conversation as quick as possible. Well, I do not read for others, I'll continue to read for the rest of my life and continue to gain knowledge Thanks for the one like and your precious time

There’s something truly magical about the feel of a physical book in your hands, the sensation of turning each pages as you immerse yourself in a different world. It’s been an interesting experience and I am absolutely activated by the power of literature. Reading has become a cherished part of my life and I look forward to exploring more literary adventures. It has become more than a past time, it’s source of joy and inspiration that has enriched my life.

Reading ebooks, listening to audiobooks are also best way of sticking to daily learning practice and adapts to current generation. Nowadays children's are more exposed to visual learning through animations to understand concepts even better which was quite hard when reading via books.. preparation through visual learning aids in creativity, better learning and practical understanding which was impossible in the past where school labs are the only ways for better understanding.

That's true but learning and understanding is one thing, expression is another. The ability to express and articulate can best be developed by reading books. Same way traditional classroom teaching method cannot be replaced by Online learning, reading books can't be replaced by listening podcasts.

[@achillesglacia7700]

@@nobodycares3953 it will place verymuch less emphasis on reading books, if you learned grammar in elementary school that should be enough to express yourself, i would think speaking several languages more important than reading and writing in only 1 perfectly

[@sunchi1461]

​@@achillesglacia7700I somewhat disagree, not completely though. As someone who knows 6 languages, including how to read them at least, a few I can write also, it is not just about expressing oneself. The words can fire one's imagination in ways that is sometimes difficult or different than learning something visually. Giving a small example here. Read a book and then watch a movie. Seldom the movie lives upto your imagination. Also words, when read, can mean something else entirely to one person than it would to another when not expressed vocally/without emotion. We interpret the emotions and meaning for ourselves. This by no means discredits visual learning. Both have their pros and cons.

I have been reading since my childhood and till date (I am 46) almost every night for a minimum of 10 mins to 30 mins. I cannot live without books. I love to encourage others around me to read too.

[@aswati]

Reading is a beautiful experience... The smell of books ... The texture of paper ... For me these tangible things add an essence to the overall experience. Then there is the thrill of reading ... The anxiousness to know what comes next ... The way a book ending makes you feel ... You cry or laugh with the characters .... Sadly the burden of studies has estranged me from my dear hobby of reading . But thanks to this video, I plan to pick up a book soon.

[@anjalik]

Reading is one of my favourite hobbies … I read every night - be it fact or fiction - comics or books… a book takes you into a different world altogether 😍 and for everyone else reading 📖 is an excellent hobby to cultivate 😃

[@beatricerweyemamu5540]

I have never stopped reading since I have known how to read..I fell in love with reading because I'm my little world then, books represented intelligence, who doesn't want to look intelligent...now I got stuck with it.. to read books is my life... Sometimes I think to my self the 3 physical things I may need...things in terms of items are a pen and a paper/notebook and a book to read... If I can have these 3 things with me anywhere .. I cannot be complete and funny people know that about me... I and my books My pen and notebooks I journal my entire think process... Hope my research and discoveries find relevance to the people that will come after me..! The children of children's children ❤❤

I remember when I was young I used to visit our distant rich relative. They had a Settee in the hall which had 3 cupboards crammed with paper backs.I used to take one book out of it (Perry Mason,Agatha Christie) and went on reading for hours together. The head of the family observed this and allowed me to take home as many books as I want. I remember finishing the whole lot within few months. Such was a fascination of books for me.

[@DonaldPeterLambe]

As an English teacher, I strongly recommend that young and inexperienced readers begin with short graded readers such as the Oxford Bookworm Series. These graded readers are intended for second language students and contain many pictures to accompany the texts. The readers are arranged in 6 levels (according to level of difficulty in vocabulary and grammatical structures). I have used them for many years in the Middle East with teenagers and young adults. The students I taught in Riyadh loved them and became very avid readers, gradually building their own home libraries. Many of these stories retell famous English classics and modern stories in language accessible to beginner and intermediate level students. Later, the students can progress to the stories in their original form.
