Reading Matters

Hi I enjoy this time of the year. The weather may still be warm (thanks to climate change) but the evening sky gets beautiful and as you sip some hot tea and pick up a book or a article to read, you are in the perfect mood to unwind as the sun sets and makes way for the moon to brighten the sky. This week I have included two articles in the list instead of a short book to read over the weekend. Hope you enjoy the articles that have been added. For your weekly reading list, I have a list of 21 articles, as usual. Some of the readers do write to me and I enjoy reading their emails. Keep writing to me. I hope you like this week's list too.

Hello It has been a few weeks now since I began sharing a list of articles that you can read to help you in the verbal section. Reading is one exercise that must continue till your exam day.  Why did I call it an exercise. Reading has many benefits just like exercise. But more importantly, like exercise, it must become part of your daily life. You must make it a routine activity without which you feel incomplete. Imagine having to spend a day without bathing or brushing your teeth. Make reading a part of your life and you will witness how this simple 'exercise' promises a better, more fruitful life.  This week I am sharing only a list of articles. Find time to choose a short book that you will read and do write back and mention the book you chose and how you enjoyed it.  The list for this week has 21 articles  Articles https://spectator.org/businesses-beg-for-workers-yet-exclude-a-huge-pool-of-eager-applicants/ https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/us-policy-t...

  Hello! Hope you have been reading consistently and keeping yourselves abreast with the news. Yes, the news is also important and the articles chosen in the list are carefully picked up to help you understand what is happening in the country and globally. For those who enjoy reading and hunger for more, I am sharing a link for Book Recommendations for the month of October. Every month we recommend 4 books that you can read.

Hello! Hope all of you are doing well.  The rains in Mumbai-Thane create the perfect mood to read and sip some hot tea.  How far have you reached with the reading list? Do you read regularly and do you make an effort to read all that is there on the list? It may be challenging to finish the list at times. Remember then that you must enjoy what you do and the purpose of the list is to encourage you to read regularly. If you are reading regularly, then our (both yours and mine) is met.  The list for this week has 20 articles and includes two essays by Tagore.  I am also happy to share an article that my brother wrote about using the 80/20 Principle (some of you may know about it) in trnasforming business. https://o9solutions.com/aim10x/blog/using-80-20-to-set-your-transformation-objectives/?utm_campaign=aim10x-Sept-2021&utm_medium=linkedin_aim10x&utm_source=marketing Articles https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/sep/25/dialects-english-grammar-accurac...
