Reading Matters

Hello everyone!  This is the last reading list for 2022. The purpose of sharing a reading list was to provide diverse topics to read on and inculcate and nurture the habit of reading.  I also take this opportunity to thank you for all your comments, suggestions and messages sent to me personally and through the blog. Every message reinforces my desire to find the best articles to read and include them in the reading list.  Wishing each and every one of you and all your loved ones ‘Happy New Year’.   Sharing this week’s list of 20 articles .

Hello everyone!  This may look like the last Reading list for CAT takers, but I will continue publishing a reading list and I’m sure it will help you in all the other exams you take. So keep reading and sharing your feedback and comments.  I hope you enjoyed reading the articles. I also hope reading is now a habit and one that you enjoy. The weeks that you have spent reading will definitely help you. Every week around 20 articles were shared. Even if you have read 10 of these for the last 6 months, you have read over 250 articles. If you have been following the list from May 5th of this year and have read atleast 2 articles everyday then you have read close to 400 articles and more. Celebrate your achievement, especially if you have inculcated the habit of reading this year. Well Done! All the best to each one of you taking the CAT this year. Believe in your abilities and the rest will be taken care of. Sharing my favourite quote that inspires me  Sharing this week’s list...
