Reading List by Rochelle Dsouza - Year 2024 - 2nd January

Hello everyone! 

Happy New Year to you and all your loved ones. May we read a little more…

A new year is associated with new beginnings. And I saw so many putting in their efforts to help create that motivation to begin afresh through posts having quotes and sayings, and even word searches. So I made one for you. But I don’t want you to settle for the first word you find. Instead search for what you really want to work on.

So now that you have found that goal, let’s work on it and write down 3 things you would do to ensure that goal is attained. 

Coming back to the reading list, like last year, I will again share a list of 20 articles and a few short stories. If there is anything else you would like me to include, do write to me. I have enjoyed putting together a list of articles for you to read. My goal is to help you find the joy of reading. 

Sharing this week’s list of 20 articles . Including a special section for poems for XAT takers Good luck to all those taking XAT 2024.
