Dear Readers Happy New Year!  Continuing with the initiative that was started last year of sharing a reading list, I present to you the first list of the year 2022.  The purpose of the reading list is to encourage you to read on diverse topics and read from different sources. This is only a guideline, you are encourage to read beyond this list.  Reading is important /not only for doing well in competitive exams but for shaping your overall personality.  Through this endeavour, I hope to build a community of readers who enjoy the experience of reading and include this activity in their daily lives. Reading has many benefits which we are all aware of. Further, just like exercise, reading helps build an open mind and a kind heart.  Let's promise to read more this year and share the joy of reading with our friends and family.  Sharing a list of 21 articles from various resources.  https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jan/01/different-from-is-corr...

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 ...

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.
