Reading Matters

With CAT just a week away, , I am happy to have shared a number of different articles, a total of 17 weeks of reading links with 20 plus articles each week. If you have managed to read even 50% of the articles that were shared then you have probably read more than 150 articles. That's great work! Well done! The purpose of this exercise was to motivate you to develop the habit of reading. So when I thought of this exercise, I wanted to provide a source that you get you to read on a regular basis.  Articles from various sources were chosen to get you comfortable with different writing styles. While choosing the articles, I also wanted to expose you to different ideas and subjects. I hope you have enjoyed reading these different articles and have developed some love, if not a deep one for reading.  In the weeks to come, I will continue sharing articles to help you in your preparation for the other exams.  Good luck to all CAT aspirants and remember all you have to do to ace the CAT is

 Hi  The exam season is soon approaching and I'm sure each one of you has a mixed set of feelings. Besides the different activities or preparatory courses you are completing, there are few activities that you must continue doing in this period. These include reading, mental calculations and puzzle solving. All these are great exercises for the brain and help you solve the paper faster.  This week again I have a list of 21 articles. I am sure you have enjoyed reading the articles that were sent last week. Ensure that you find time to complete the list in the prescribed week. Find an hour in the morning or evening where you can spend time reading the articles from the list.  Keep your spirits high and your feet grounded!

Hi Hope you had a restful week and some great time with your family and friends. This much needed Diwali break helps us not just to re-energize ourselves but also our relationships.   Some of us have probably forgotten to enjoy these simple things and festival holidays give us that perfect opportunity to just RELAX. It is important to find time to be 'ourselves' and do what we like to do. Taking a break for 'ourselves' is important and needed for both physical and mental well being. This will be important in the next few weeks as you prepare for various competitive exams. So find time to do things that make you happy.  And continue reading.  The list for this week has 21 articles and 2 short essays, Hope you enjoy the reading list Articles https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/nov/05/net-zero-2070-india-renewables-climate-finance https://aeon.co/essays/there-are-six-main-narratives-of-globalisation-all-flawed https://www.newstatesman.com/environment/cop26/2021/

Hello  For those of you taking the CAT 2021, this month is very important wrt reading. Continue reading right through these months and ensure that you allocate time to read. This is very important and has many benefits.  Reading will not only help you concentrate and also build the ability to immediately focus on the task. Many times when we begin an exam, we may be distracted but those who spend time reading develop the ability to learn to focus immediately on the task presented to them.  Reading for 1.5 to 2 hours in a day will help you build your stamina to sit through the exams. Since you have spent a few hours reading continuously, you will be able to sail through an exam paper easily.  There are many more benefits of reading but the one I consider most important is that reading broadens your horizons, makes you more empathetic and a better person.  This week I am sharing a list of 21 articles and will recommend you read a  The list for this week has 21 articles  Articles https://
