Today I was glad when my 6
years doll asked me that “Maa when will be I able to read Geronimo ki series.”
Well being a middle class kids that too of our
generations (alas not that old) we poor were exposed to school books only. And bahut
mummy ko laga toh, in vacations champak and chandamama were sacred gift. Rest
we were asked school ki kitabein par lo wahi bahut hai.......At the end of teens
mills and boon was considered as a luxury. Foreign authors were like gods.
Infact availability of books was also a challenge in small cities. Again tier 1
cities were exceptional. Readers used to share books, discuss each twist with
relevant expression and yes the one with latest novel was the richest. Now
things are changing even kids have a huge section at books shops, and school
along with sentient parents promote reading. For any readers books are not a
luxury rather it is a necessity.
Well books make us live in
multiple world; they paraphrase our emotions and help us find ourselves. I
mulled at the thought that books are introduced at a very early age but is
reading taught .......??
