- When I had the opportunity to speak for a class assignment, I decided to pick the topic, The Importance of Reading Books, in an attempt to convince more people to devote some time towards reading.
The lighting in this video may not be as great, but I can promise you that I make some important points.
In the comments, let me know who is that one person who got you started with reading? Whether it is a family member, a friend, someone you saw on TV or anyone else...
One person's fiction could be another person's reality.. I this this sentence 🤩
Finally someone who undertsands importance of fictions..💜
Thanks for your support, Megha! I'm glad you liked the video 🤗

Wow.. just wow.. i haven't been so attentive even during my college lectures. Was able to connect so much and got really inspired. I was not really appreciated by my friends and relatives for my reading habit. They thought I'm wasting my time on fictions rather than studying. But I felt so happy after watching this video that i became ur fan. Gonna binge watch rest of ur videos :)
Omg thanks a ton, Harikrishnan! This comment has made my day 😄
Yes, I totally understand what you mean about people not supporting you for being a reader. Hope you find tons and tons of good books to read :)

Well put!! Ive always felt that books allow you to explore a whole new universe without even moving an inch..
And some books can just change your life..you are never the same person you were at page 1 by the time you are at the end of the book...
Thanks! ^^
EXACTLY. Reading is such an adventure :D
It's 2years old( this video) but glad I came across it.loved it❤️😊
Thanks so much, Neetu! 🤗
Stumbled across this channel by sheer happenstance. Great to see so much passion about reading and books. This is what world needs today. People who recognize and use the power of stories that hold potential to change the world (even if one person at a time)...especially, the ones contained within books.
Loved the content, insightful research and impeccable presentation. This is TedX-worthy stuff. :-)
You have no idea how immensely happy this comment has made me. Thank you so very much for being this kind 🙌🏼 🙌🏼
@@MeeraNair : Well-deserved on your part. May you remain blessed with love for books and power of reading.
Proud of You Meera.. Well said !! Keep it going girl !
Thank you so much! :) xx
Wow.. Beautifully explained. Came to know u through helly's video where u had commented.. I have started reading for the past two months. Initially, I hated reading fictions thinking they can't teach life lessons but your saying that somebody's fiction can be somebody's reality made it clear that fictions can also guide us n I'll definitely look out at that. My life is very stressed n I am feeling more of so in these tough times due to the pandemic as I am confined to a room without going outside too much. Reading books help in these times to stay positive.. Can u plz recommend some inspirational books mam?
Thank you so much, Neeraj! Really glad to know that this video helped you :)
Hope you've been doing well nowadays.
I would recommend Selfienomics by Revant. It is humorous and a good self-help book...
@@MeeraNair Thanks..🙏🙏
Wow you're providing reasons to us fiction lovers to read 😄 thanks buddy .
Yeah, this is one of my favourite uploads on the channel simply because of how strongly I believe in everything I'm saying. 😁 Thanks so much! :)
Wow! You nailed it. I get to learn so much from you...
It makes my day to hear stuff like that :') Thank you so much, Vishal! 😁

Absolutely love the way you talk and your love for books comes across so lovingly :) Keep at it :)
I'm really glad that this video is able to convey just how much I love reading and why I try to convince others to read :) Thank you very much, Sakshi! It is great to connect with a fellow reader :)
Very greatly presented...
Your appreciation towards is just woww...!!!!
Thanks so much, Sai Kiran! :)
Nice speech, doubting whether I'll ever be able to speak like You .
Nonsense! With some practice and determination, you can achieve anything you set your mind to :) You can definitely be a great speaker
If that stats are something to go by, India is growing lot more than I thought!
And skipping all the magazines, children's books and all, one of my cousins gave me a copy of Animal Farm one day, and boy I was blown! That was the start I still remember!
Woah! Animal Farm was one of your first reads?! 😮👏👏👏 God bless that cousin! 😁
Can you share the presention because I don't see that very good and thank you.
Reading came to me to explore this new some one called chetan bhagat....then... luckily shifted to some good authors...nd that habbit stayed with me...like a best getaway from anything in life
That is wonderful :) To discover your first book and then have that book lead you into the magical world of reading 🤩 Which book of Chetan Bhagat did you read first?
@@MeeraNair started with five point..liked it very much...then moved to ..3 mistakes...then..one frnd suggested try sidney sheldon... actually i took a while to get the grip of it...then agatha christie...dan brown ..preeti shenoy.....amish tripathi..anand neelkanthan...j k rowling ...tolkien...my god..list goes on and on
@@AkhilPillai08 Wow you started off with the works of some great authors! 😀
Awesome!
Thanks! :)
Just woww meera...
Thank you, Sharuk! 😁
With all due respect I would like to differ. I believe reading fiction is a way of escapism. What is the point in investing one's energy and time in subjective experience of other. Yes, reading fiction makes you more empathetic and kind of soft. I too started reading with fiction but realised it's much better to understand objective reality and accept the harsh truth about universe and people with science and psychology. Learning Cosmology and evolution makes you humble and greatful for the opportunity of being alive. It completely changed my perspective of the world and universe. And hence my interpretation of events and reaction to it.
Having said that And my only concern about reading is how to pronounce words correctly? Just like you pronounced dystopian as "DIASTOPIAN".
happy reading to you.
*tips fedora*
Hey, Mandar. Of course everyone has their own perspective :) While it's great that you find meaning in reading books about cosmology, some people are only looking to find a sense of belonging; the idea that there are other people in the world who have experienced something similar.
Then there are some who are merely looking to be entertained. 🤷
To think of it, even several instances of objective reality are framed by people with their own subjective experiences and insight. So I don't think you can completely do away with subjectivity in many cases.
One thing I've begun doing to help with better pronunciation is to listen to audiobooks and podcasts. Try reading a book while also listening to the audiobook - it's great and will definitely help you pronounce words more accurately :) Hope that helps!
Happy Reading to you too!
Great way of presentation :)🌸❤
You are amazing .keep it up 😊😊👏👏
This means a lot, Mary! Thank you 🙏🏼😭🤗
😊😊
So good Meera, now if you could just do this at all the schools around the world we might actually create some readers! 😉
I'm so happy to hear you say that, Jo! :) Thanks a ton! xx
I'm always more than willing to speak to people and try to get them to read more often :P
The video was pretty interesting. Please share the source of the stats.
Thanks a bunch, Manasa! 😊 I went through a few articles, research papers and such for the stats... if you could reach out to me on Instagram or Twitter, I'll share the links with you :)
Pleas give me this picture of the project video because I have a presentation in my school and I want to pic of reading please 🥺💗
This feature is great! I'll try it once my channel grows a little bit. 😃
And I do use a journal to write down my thoughts as I read books. It helps me keep a clear mind as I read as well as in the reviews that I write. It's completely unfiltered, uncensored :P :P
You should! :)
Yeah, I remember hearing about that in your video about certain quirks you have as a reader 😁
@@MeeraNair 😁😁❤️
I'm ur new subscriber Meera... I absolutely loved this video tqsm
Thank you so much, Harshitha! 😊 I hope you enjoy watching more of the videos on my channel! xx

Awesome work!!!👏😃
Thanks a bunch, Trisha! 😊
@@MeeraNair I am soooo happy that u had replied to my comment!! 😁😀
I love reading fiction and fiction adds lots of value to life 😊
Right?! 😁
I always believe that books are the greatest assets we have since ages, Which books do u prefer fiction or non fiction??
So true! 😊 I prefer to read fiction but I'm trying to develop a taste for non-fiction 😀 What about you?
I always love to read fiction as well as self help books.. I have a huge collection of books, I'm trying to build up a mini library at my home.
That's great to hear! Hope your personal collection continues to expand and hold some great works of all time :)
Was this a college project or a talk????? 😊😊😊😊😊
By the way, it just looks like a college project due to the way you're talking doesn't have any form of levity; you are constraint to your posture and position ( EXACTLY ME DURING A PROJECT)
Yeah it was a college assignment..
Can you share your slides??
This video make me to read more books
Yaaaayyy happy to hear that! 😄
Nailed it Meera ♥️
Thank youuuu, Padmaja!! 😊❤
Padmaja Phatak I just discovered her. She is great :)
Hi I m new subscriber of u . I have video request can u make a video which help academic year ( syllabus) .
Hey Shrinidhi, thanks for following my channel :) I wish I could be of any help to you, but it's been a long long time since I finished school and so I don't think I would be able to make videos based on academics. I do wish you the best of luck for your studies!
@@MeeraNair TQ so much it's mean a lot .can I ask Which stream r u?
Hey good one ...hope you'll get a large following
Thanks a bunch, Sriram! 🤗 I'm glad you liked this video...
@@MeeraNair by the way could you help me find historical/mythological fictions/thrillers set in Tamil Nadu
@@sriramrajkumar394 Heyy, sure! As of now, I'm only familiar with Perumal Murugan's works, when it comes to Tamil writings translated to English. But I could look around for others :)
Are you looking to read books in Tamil only or translated works also?
@@MeeraNairhmmm I'm looking for novels like empire by Devi yashodharan , god's kings and slaves by R Venkatesh, Conqueror by Aditya Iyengar, The king Within by Nandini Sengupta ....those kind of books....you should try if you haven't yet excellent ones which have great plot,vivid description of those times,heroic as well menacing characters and especially good writing.....they are English works by Indian authors .... I've not yet read Perumal Murugans works
Good
Thank youu, Chandan! :)
