Modern reading trends

Reading has become a pastime only few elite indulge in. People don’t have the time or the patience to read. They d much rather listen to a podcast or a music system than sit down with a novel .People prefer a magazine or a journal to a novel and that too on a journey , in a flight when there is nothing better to do . When the ipods and the mobile batteries are maxed out. Then can an individual find solace in reading as a last resort.

But some books which generally get picked up are self help books. To improve self confidence , to save a marriage ,to find peace and calmness in this hectic schedule ,spice up the sex life are some of the common books which people grab whenever they get a chance Books on yoga, meditation and therapies also deserve a mention in this regard . Basically anything which is practical and can be out to use in daily life are the best sellers these days

Fiction and non fiction cater to only a few individuals and do not end up becoming best sellers .Autobiographies occupy a significant space in the market may be due to the protagonists influence or due to his opulence. Bestsellers is a category created for the less lazy individuals so that people they at least read some books .

Some introspective reports do suggest that this is an era of feminism .Women occupy the center stage in all all books and annals of life .Long gone is the time when women were considered child bearing machines and kitchens kittens Now they pursue there life with as much vigor as men Books are being written in praise of the X chromosome (women) s, glorifying there achievements.

Whatever may be the current trends, each and every one of us must spare out some time from our busy schedules to read .It is a great pastime as well a great rejuvenating medium. It causes no stress to eyes, no wastage of electricity, no harm to ears so why make it a habit to read before we go to bed .If nothing else is possible let’s start reading the full news paper which is cheap and affordable activity

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Did You Ever Love Me? Book Review: Can Rithvik singh turn heartbreak into a homecoming?

Did You Ever Love Me? by Rithvik Singh is a tender contemporary poetry collection about love, heartbreak, longing, self worth and learning to let go. Its greatest strength is emotional accessibility: Singh writes directly to readers who feel intensely and care deeply.

Have you ever loved someone so completely that, after they left, you were left wondering whether they had ever understood what they had been given? Not merely whether they loved you, but whether they ever noticed how much you loved them, how much patience you offered, how many small things you remembered, or how often you chose to stay when leaving might have been easier. There is a particular loneliness in that question because it rarely arrives at a dramatic moment. More often, it finds you while you are doing something completely ordinary. Yo...
