Reading List for August 2021 (Week 4) by Rochelle D’souza

 Reading List for August 2021 (Week 4) by Rochelle D’souza

It is close to a month now and this blog has shared close to 50 articles. If you don’t read too much and have finished reading the articles that the blog has shared for the past three weeks, you should treat yourself. You have really done well for yourself. And nothing works better than positive reinforcement.

Doing anything new needs patience and those of you who learnt to be consistent with reading articles need to reward yourselves. 

With about 100 days to CAT, let us promise ourselves to continue reading. Keep up the good work and the reward is not far away. Patience is the key and believe me reading is a wonderful habit which nurtures you to become a better version of yourself.

Also this week I am sharing an article that one of the readers, Subin Subair has shared. Subin enjoyed reading this article and recommended that I share it with you. If any of you would like to share articles that you found interesting, do share it with me and I will share it with the others. 

Lastly,this week instead of a short book, I am sharing a link to Sea Prayer by Khaled Hosseini.

The  list for this week has 15 articles and 1 video link that you can read during this week.
