But the data that you present should show the overall trend with Indians choosing the stream of work.

I LOVE BOOKS . BOOKS ARE THE SOUL OF LIFE The FATTER the fiction/ non fiction book ,the more i love to read it .I have once walked out of a bad movie in the interval and sat and finished a wheel of time series book in the lobby :) . My mother is the one who used to give me books instead of toys to play with a) Retail stores price books ridiculously high so pricing is an issue .Libraries r needed b)Schools& parents & ADHD in folks have contributed to this situation
Thank you firstpost, this video is the need of the hour, it's really important to not get lost in the digital world but to plug with the world's best friend....... ❤❤❤
Thank you, First Post & Palki maam, for these stories. I really look up to them. They are fact bombs. I would like to have some content on how spiritual practices can enhance a minimalist lifestyle, why stoicism is not synonymous with carelessness and how spirituality connects success and achievement in this rat race age. Why spirituality is not similar to any particular religion and different religious practices and how it helps us to maintain the harmony around us.
Wow !! U nailed it .... I have a huge Library... about 400 books...lovingly cared for .i thought i was a loser for doing so...now i have some solace...🙂 thanks
15 years of reading books every single day! Even if I come home late at night exhausted, I read at least for 10 min, if not 60. There's no better way to learn, evolve and relax than reading books. Please don't give it up guys. Even 10 min daily of uninterrupted reading of a book will add a lot of value. Keep reading!
The "Book in Hand Campaign" is a initiative started by CELL Foundation that offers a free open book library in delhi.

Have been an avid reader all thru, still am at 84, and internet has whetted the appetite, it is such a help, never feel lonely, mind remains alert, and it feels great to be always busy learning I also manage to see most of your very well produced vids, Wish you all the best
There is no warm feeling than reading your favourite book on a rainy day, covered in cozy blankets with a cup of coffee in your hand. The smell of fresh books, hiding pieces of an old love such as dry flowers, old photographs, and hazy letters as bookmarks. Oh my my! How could anything digital ever replace that? Books are eternal gifts.

I am a practicing lawyer at high court of orissa. I can proudly say that there is no bigger weapon than books and pen. In our profession we do unlimited research plus travel as a result it has somewhat balanced life. Reading books drives the reader to another world. Thanks Palki Madam for raising such content🙏👍
I agree! Although I am not a lawyer, seeing the recent judgements and debates , I am very intrigued by this profession. Any favourite books for the layman?
@@Tanya-vx4pc yes an investigation to trial is book for layman's understanding of criminal system anyone can read. Another one is black warrant, legal eagles, god save the Honourable supreme court.
advocat^^^ my child said few years ago as he sits on the floor at a well-known bookstore I feel at peace once I read its like no one is around only me and the earth its so calming I can't tell you how happy I feel it's so happy for me! Then as he said it the most funny thing happened a flock of children just sat with him and just started to read. I have a photo of it. 💫👫 ✌️🌼
Plaki, amazing report. You up to the space, you go deep down in the ocean and all over the planet to bring us fresh news any political, economic and social affairs. Who can match you in the world of reports. You deserve the Nobel prize. My dear keep up you world class reporting. May God bless you!!!
She is Great and a very talented Woman, She should be working with these big Media Houses such as CNN, Sky News, BBC etc I don't know why she is not in one of them ?🤔
@@Srivanisareswathy07 Some of my faves are: The Secret Garden, and A Little Princess, both by Frances Hodgson, Heidi by Johanna Spyri, Black Beauty by Anna Sewell, any book by Louisa May Alcott, The Giver by Lois Lowry, are all great books. The Sherlock Holmes detective mysteries by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are fun reads. If you like things a bit more on the macabre side, Edgar Allen Poe write lots of short stories and poems.
I am reading three books; 1) Bhagavad Gita As it Is 2) Emma by Jane Austen 3) Diary of a wimpy kid(The Ugly Truth) And I will not trade the pure joy of reading real books to nothing else.. Thank you First Post for this reminder 🙏🏼
Actually, you should read the Geeta press, gorakhpur edition of Bhagvad Gita.... The Geeta press edition has more AUTHENTIC translation and commentary....
Brilliant! I had been thinking about this for a while now and wondering if reading was really dead among the youth. I myself am reading the 'Chip War' now which is a fascinating world of technology competition between countries.
Palki Sharma is the GOAT of story telling. Her delivery is impeccable. You get hooked listening to her right from her first lines. I sometimes ask myself if I can possess this type of skill and what it would take to achieve that; I end up giving up thinking. But after watching this video, it seems I have found the true answer: intense focus and deep attention to detail; one way to achieve those two values would be giving more of my time and attention to books, especially physical books. Thank you Ms Palki.
You see this woman has so much valued that ever since she joined this news channel, its subscribers keep growing just like wion once had when she was there.
@@keyurchakurkar3687Earlier I watched her on WION, but after one time I thought where did she go... why is someone new here... Then I found her own channel... Releif😪 I don't even watch WION anymore. When she was on WION, it got thousands of views, but now sometimes views are in 2 digits.
I'm proud to say I read on a daily basis and have been doing so for years now. Earlier, access to books was a bit harder since there are no public libraries and the like around me, but with the pandemic and online classes, I got my first phone. No looking back. Probably not a single day has gone without reading. Heck I am subscribed to multiple newsletters, it's not just fiction that I read. Though nothing beats a physical book.
It's crazy what the economic outlook looks like. Early stages of a recession, layoffs, people leaving, because we're tired. I wonder what the economy would morph into. Has anybody been making any profits from the market in the current economic market? My money isn't even safe in the bank. SVB just collapsed. What's next? Please, anybody with tips on how I can get started in the stock market, I'll appreciate.
Concentrate on two main objectives. First, keep yourself safe by knowing when to sell stocks in order to limit losses and maximize gains. Second, get ready to benefit from market changes. I advise consulting a CFP or other professional for advice.
I remember when I was dropped from Airbnb a couple years ago. I dusted off and moved on. Running a health tech startup now, and making the equivalent of my six-figure annual salary in months from the market. I outsource the investing part, and focus on my startup. Every disappointment is a blessing.
@@africanboi4542 Which firm do you invest with, please? Invested through J.P Morgan Hedge Fund arm in the past, but they were not giving me what I wanted.
@@cloudyblaze7916 No, I don't use firms as wealth managers. Their large bureaucracies don't enable good returns. I use individual wealth managers who have a proven track record. So you could check out a couple. I personally work with Mrs Marisol Cordova.
Last year in May, I had 4 books which I read over past 5 years, but within a year, today I've read more than 40 books, not by watching any video, or getting hyped up by someone, but by genuinely investing myself into it. Whenever I talk about a book I've read in front of others, 99% of them just seem to be bored by it, or simply just listening to get through this part of the conversation as quick as possible. Well, I do not read for others, I'll continue to read for the rest of my life and continue to gain knowledge Thanks for the one like and your precious time
I love reading, it improved my listening skills, communication skills, truly books are best friends ❤ I love hearing to Palki, whatever she brings to the table, it will always be helpful
I wrote three books last year. Do try them. 1. “Meditation and Spirituality a Philosophy” Sub-titled- “A path to attain a Steady Meditative State” 2. “Spiritual Encounters” Sub- titled - “Meeting the Himalayan Yogis” 3. “Social Pandemic” Sub-titled - “A Terminally ill Modern Society”
First one to comment, I will gladly say I read books, it's a habit that my mother instilled in me, Most of our jobs require us to read a lot on several topics, lots of people like to read the newspaper still, a large number of people like reading ebooks in their tabs and kindles, more and more people are taking new interest in ancient India and want to read the ancient texts, lots are learning new languages in Duo Lingo and similar apps.... I can assure you that reading is most definitely not dead and never will be. Those that love it will keep it alive, always.
@@Pres7 well there are many... Depends on what you want to read. All the books has teachings on life and spirituality but some are stories some are extracts some are teachings and so on. On life : 1. The Bhagvad Gita On Hinduism and Ancient ways : 1. The 12 Upanishads 2. The 4 Veds 3. The Purans Epics : 1. Ramayan 2. Mahabharat On Economics : Arthashastra On Medicine and Surgery : Susruta Samhita On Mathematics : Aryabhatia On Sex : Kamasutra There are many many more.
As a bookworm, I appreciate this video. To take a deep dive into a good ole book is like heaven to me. I get transported to a whole different world and it’s something special. ❤

Reading ebooks, listening to audiobooks are also best way of sticking to daily learning practice and adapts to current generation. Nowadays children's are more exposed to visual learning through animations to understand concepts even better which was quite hard when reading via books.. preparation through visual learning aids in creativity, better learning and practical understanding which was impossible in the past where school labs are the only ways for better understanding. Thanks to firstpost and Madam Palki Sharma for this topic and it was quite useful
That's true but learning and understanding is one thing, expression is another. The ability to express and articulate can best be developed by reading books. Same way traditional classroom teaching method cannot be replaced by Online learning, reading books can't be replaced by listening podcasts.
@@nobodycares3953 it will place verymuch less emphasis on reading books, if you learned grammar in elementary school that should be enough to express yourself, i would think speaking several languages more important than reading and writing in only 1 perfectly
@@achillesglacia7700I somewhat disagree, not completely though. As someone who knows 6 languages, including how to read them at least, a few I can write also, it is not just about expressing oneself. The words can fire one's imagination in ways that is sometimes difficult or different than learning something visually. Giving a small example here. Read a book and then watch a movie. Seldom the movie lives upto your imagination. Also words, when read, can mean something else entirely to one person than it would to another when not expressed vocally/without emotion. We interpret the emotions and meaning for ourselves. This by no means discredits visual learning. Both have their pros and cons.
can you suggest how to start reading books my fav is non fiction, and for new words how you will manage,how you remember what you read plz share and beginner reading how to start ,can you say tips while reading Can u suggest for easy English books for both kids children adult
I too discovered a newfound love for reading during the pandemic. Instead of my usual routine like singing or mindlessly scrolling through my Instagram reels, I decided to explore the world books. There’s something truly magical about the feel of a physical book in your hands, the sensation of turning each pages as you immerse yourself in a different world. It’s been an interesting experience and I am absolutely activated by the power of literature. Reading has become a cherished part of my life and I look forward to exploring more literary adventures. It has become more than a past time, it’s source of joy and inspiration that has enriched my life.
I'm 20, I've recently read my first novel 1984 by george orwell, as a student we read education books all the time but getting immersed into the world of fiction is a unique and peaceful experience and I've found myself loving it so far. I loved 1984 and I'm looking forward to read more non ed books.
Talking about books, I definitely think you are capable and in a position to write a book on STORYTELLING. Currently i am reading 1. The art of public speaking by Dale Carnegie 2. 48 laws of Power by Robert Green 3. Meditation by Marcus Aurelius
The feeling that the printed word will stay, and years later you can see the underlined words, ear-marked pages ... its just magical. Books are the friends that will always be there, waiting for you.
as an indian curious about his culture, history and civilisational reality and legacy, i have started buying books left and right, historic, puranas itihaasas upanishad shastra veda, geopolitics, and some orther special subjects. I have develeoped a passion of bookreading like my mom. And for different reasons but still, books are here to stay a while longer
Books are the best friends that a person can have. A good book can transform the trajectory of a person in a whole new direction. As Mark Twain rightly said, "One who does not read good books has no advantage over a person who can't". Currently, I am reading the Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz
I started reading books in jan, 2023. My first book was 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Cohelo and that was one of the best experience of my life. It was like experiencing a long, adventurous journey just by sitting at one place.
Read another one, Old Man And The Sea by Ernest Hemingway, and your best experience will be a bit extended. You can stretch it by reading The Kite Runner and then by reading .......... 🙂
Good choice. If you are into science fiction, go ahead with Dean Koontz. The Fall of the Dream Machine is my all time fav. It will take you 2 evenings at most.
Reading a book.....adds so much value to our lives. Books are valuable, eternal and meaningful gifts. Digitalisation cannot and must not replace reading books. It's such a joy to read, to know, to understand and to save and store your books. I value each one of them. Thank you Palki 🙏
Mrs Sharma picked subject very close to my heart. I am currently trying publish a book of poetry and prose. Have been working on for 2 years. But question is Will anyone out there Read it? Another point closely related is writing. The current generation losing ability to write, many School systems in America don't teach kids how write or read cursive letters anymore. If we suddenly lost internet tomorrow a lot of people going be totally lost because can't read a book.
I am currently fightling the urge to check social media every night before bed. I have not been able to read 10 pages in a single day for longer than I can remember, but I am trying to change that. I am currently reading Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel and Closer to Love by Vex King. ❤ Thank you so much for telling people like me that we are not alone. I aspire to read atleast these two books by the end of this year, plus some audiobooks that I am listening to. ✨
All we need is a good old book. So true! I am currently reading Mailbu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid. This beautiful book is about family and it shows you how family can be the people that love you more than anything else in the world but also the ones that cause you the most amount of heartbreak. The fact that the entire storyline of this book takes place throughout one single night but you're still able to dive in and know so much about every individual character is a reading experience of its own.
@geranienbaum No that's not. This news channel is her own. At any day she can decide not to continue. She does it because she likes sharing the truth. You Western People so arrogant.
@geranienbaum But entire growth on FirstPost in only due to her. FirstPost existed or not.., She got all followers for FirstPost. If she creates a new Channel today... Half the FirstPost followers will be there within a month. So that's not her job, she does it because she likes it.
Excellent episode. I love to read books. There's nothing comparable to the smell of an old book, or a fresh one. There's no comparison to the feeling of turning a page, or flipping through pages of two or three books and one time in a research project.
@@Srivanisareswathy07go for nonfiction books. I have seen them impacting lives immensely in a positive way. Regular reading of nonfiction books pays very high and compounding dividends
I have recently started reading a Book called tawaasmi... written by sri Rama Chakradhar..this book basically tells about ramayana.and one more book I started reading is veer savarkar which is written by Vikram sampath.this book is about our Bharat's one of the greatest freedom fighter.i am really blessed to know about a true side of our country's history.especially about our freedom fighters like savarkar 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I have been reading since my childhood and till date (I am 46) almost every night for a minimum of 10 mins to 30 mins. I cannot live without books. I love to encourage others around me to read too.
I've inspired around 35 people to read (Many were first time reader's) by clutching the books in my hand always wherever I go and my frantic passion inspires others❤
Reading is one of my favourite hobbies … I read every night - be it fact or fiction - comics or books… a book takes you into a different world altogether 😍 and for everyone else reading 📖 is an excellent hobby to cultivate 😃
I have never stopped reading since I have known how to read..I fell in love with reading because I'm my little world then, books represented intelligence, who doesn't want to look intelligent...now I got stuck with it.. to read books is my life... Sometimes I think to my self the 3 physical things I may need...things in terms of items are a pen and a paper/notebook and a book to read... If I can have these 3 things with me anywhere .. I cannot be complete and funny people know that about me... I and my books My pen and notebooks I journal my entire think process... Hope my research and discoveries find relevance to the people that will come after me..! The children of children's children ❤❤
Greetings from South Africa. THANK YOU so much for this. I'm 66 years old and have been reading my entire life. I would be an extremely diminished man without a good BOOK
It's shocking to know that book market is plummeting globally. I love reading books and from pandemic my interest in geopolitics has increased and now I prefer to buy books related to geopolitics. I used to read novels and books related to personal development. Thanks palki mam and entire team for raising this issue. I will encourage my friends and family to buy books and enjoy reading rather than engaging in this social media menace.
Ms Palki Sharma is an amazingly a great story narrator,and I always get a new information from her worth remembering. Fantastic. I recently bought 5 books 📚 for gathering knowledge on dreams, sleep, our senses, what is life and neuro science of spirituality.
we should all get into the habit of reading to explore a new world . BTW I started my reading journey with the book called "THE ALCHEMIST"...It's a masterpiece.
Reading is a beautiful experience... The smell of books ... The texture of paper ... For me these tangible things add an essence to the overall experience. Then there is the thrill of reading ... The anxiousness to know what comes next ... The way a book ending makes you feel ... You cry or laugh with the characters .... Sadly the burden of studies has estranged me from my dear hobby of reading . But thanks to this video, I plan to pick up a book soon.
Am Reading right now #ArthSastra of Chanakya by Shamasastry for the 14 th Year ...Every year I read this once within one Month Starting every September....I learn new Ideas every time Thx #Palkisu
Reading is oxygen for me. Can't think of a life without it. Its been two weeks since I read the last book because I am going through a rough patch but will be going back to the beautiful world of reading soon.

Many thanks for the insights on book reading, very well made report. Book reading has reduced because of social media, but I do find some time to read books, it's the greatest value giver.
I started to read book during my late twenties after hit rock bottom because of my own ignorance about myself. I thought the world owe me. What I got a return was only disappointments. Then when I started to read I realised that almost everyone in this world believes that the world owe them too. So instead of expecting I started to give. Trust me this is the best feeling ever!!! Only by reading u can understand yourself and eventually u will understand others too.
Palki Ma,am you always were the boldest thank you for highlighting this issue i hope you would definitely raise this issue directly on national television.
NO , READING'S NOT DEAD I read for 20-25 minutes daily and follow it as a morning ritual with no distractions . It's one of the best time I spend doing in my whole day. Currently I'm reading " Man's search for meaning "
@@Astroliebhaber-i8j if you really wanna read then there should be no excuses for it. You can find that book in your nearby bookstore. Hope you find it!
I'm a literature student and every other day I'm either reading poetry, or a novel or a drama. But unplugging from social media had been a major step I had to take to become a better reader.
Palki Thanks for highlighting this topic. I dislike reading on Kindle. Nothing matches good old books. By the way , just bought 4 new books . They are a must read viz Saraswati civilization The windchime legacy Ramayan unravelled Mahabharat unravelled Each one better rhen other. Must read🎉😊
I noticed the decline when all the used bookstores started closing here in CA. Then the mainstream stores started closing down. Now it seems if you want a book you go online. I remember reading every day as a child, and now I'm here on YT on my smart phone. The combining of everything onto your phone has made it a problem for sure. Once we hit the '90's we really hit the sweet spot with technology and real life. I wish we could go back.

@@Srivanisareswathy07start with simple 200-300 pages books, make a goal of reading 1 chapter or 30mins a day.. that's it Coming or recommendations I don't know anything about non fiction but in fiction Harry Potter/Agatha Christie(in general most thrillers) books are very easy and interesting, they are a good place to start.. Generally most best sellers have easy language

She has written a good English and pro level. ❤ Her choice of reading books is wonderful except the Napolean'$. Indian Literature is far better than theirs. ❤
I absolutely agreed . People now a days spent lot of time on social meadia, twitter and all. They want to change themselves but again and again they were trapped by there phone . In the last few days I have read 2 novels. I can see the changes in me and my mind clearly. And I also motivate people to read books. Infact Today I want to give a book to my friend on his birthday. ❤
For me books are like my first love. No matter what, I can go back and get engrossed in the same story that I've already read 2-3 times. The experience is beautiful. The satisfaction of completing a book is something else. I, for one can never ever give up reading because it takes me away to another world full of surprises....

I remember when I was young I used to visit our distant rich relative. They had a Settee in the hall which had 3 cupboards crammed with paper backs.I used to take one book out of it (Perry Mason,Agatha Christie) and went on reading for hours together. The head of the family observed this and allowed me to take home as many books as I want. I remember finishing the whole lot within few months. Such was a fascination of books for me.
How awesome that must have been!!! I read through an entire lending library, albeit a small, but crammed one😅😅😅. And because of that I got some free books and discounted prices on books that I wanted to buy, from our library uncle. That library is no longer there😢 but those emotions and memories remain. Thanx for the great reminder!
yesterday I finished reading the art of war and it was really a nice book right now I am reading the republic by plato its a bit of difficult to understand but yah the lessons are priceless

As an English teacher, I strongly recommend that young and inexperienced readers begin with short graded readers such as the Oxford Bookworm Series. These graded readers are intended for second language students and contain many pictures to accompany the texts. The readers are arranged in 6 levels (according to level of difficulty in vocabulary and grammatical structures). I have used them for many years in the Middle East with teenagers and young adults. The students I taught in Riyadh loved them and became very avid readers, gradually building their own home libraries. Many of these stories retell famous English classics and modern stories in language accessible to beginner and intermediate level students. Later, the students can progress to the stories in their original form.
Excellent content. Always preferred physical book over ebook. Read newspaper everyday because I love reading. Mobile has many benefits but It's also highly distracting.
I’m on a journey to help people revive their reading culture by starting a book club this January, so your video is timely. However, books are now ever more expensive than they were in the past so you can see why people prefer to spend money on other priorities

I LOVE BOOKS . BOOKS ARE THE SOUL OF LIFE
The FATTER the fiction/ non fiction book ,the more i love to read it .I have once walked out of a bad movie in the interval and sat and finished a wheel of time series book in the lobby :) . My mother is the one who used to give me books instead of toys to play with
a) Retail stores price books ridiculously high so pricing is an issue .Libraries r needed
b)Schools& parents & ADHD in folks have contributed to this situation
Thank you firstpost, this video is the need of the hour, it's really important to not get lost in the digital world but to plug with the world's best friend....... ❤❤❤
Thank you, First Post & Palki maam, for these stories. I really look up to them. They are fact bombs. I would like to have some content on how spiritual practices can enhance a minimalist lifestyle, why stoicism is not synonymous with carelessness and how spirituality connects success and achievement in this rat race age. Why spirituality is not similar to any particular religion and different religious practices and how it helps us to maintain the harmony around us.

There is no warm feeling than reading your favourite book on a rainy day, covered in cozy blankets with a cup of coffee in your hand. The smell of fresh books, hiding pieces of an old love such as dry flowers, old photographs, and hazy letters as bookmarks. Oh my my! How could anything digital ever replace that? Books are eternal gifts.
True even I also love to read book in form of hardcopy or paperback instead of pdf.

@@Srivanisareswathy07 Some of my faves are: The Secret Garden, and A Little Princess, both by Frances Hodgson, Heidi by Johanna Spyri, Black Beauty by Anna Sewell, any book by Louisa May Alcott, The Giver by Lois Lowry, are all great books. The Sherlock Holmes detective mysteries by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are fun reads. If you like things a bit more on the macabre side, Edgar Allen Poe write lots of short stories and poems.
I am reading three books;
1) Bhagavad Gita As it Is
2) Emma by Jane Austen
3) Diary of a wimpy kid(The Ugly Truth)
And I will not trade the pure joy of reading real books to nothing else..
Thank you First Post for this reminder 🙏🏼
Actually, you should read the Geeta press, gorakhpur edition of Bhagvad Gita.... The Geeta press edition has more AUTHENTIC translation and commentary....
reading Srimad Bhagvatam (Bhagvata Purana) here
I am still in awe as to the amount of wisdom packed inside our ancient texts
Try Mrs Dalloway by virginia woolf .
Don't read Bhagavad Gita As it is. It is the most inaccurate translation of Gita and should actually be called Bhagavad Gita as it is not
Try reading Bhagwat Geeta by Shankaracharya or Ramanunjan
Brilliant! I had been thinking about this for a while now and wondering if reading was really dead among the youth. I myself am reading the 'Chip War' now which is a fascinating world of technology competition between countries.

Palki Sharma is the GOAT of story telling. Her delivery is impeccable. You get hooked listening to her right from her first lines. I sometimes ask myself if I can possess this type of skill and what it would take to achieve that; I end up giving up thinking. But after watching this video, it seems I have found the true answer: intense focus and deep attention to detail; one way to achieve those two values would be giving more of my time and attention to books, especially physical books. Thank you Ms Palki.

It's crazy what the economic outlook looks like. Early stages of a recession, layoffs, people leaving, because we're tired. I wonder what the economy would morph into. Has anybody been making any profits from the market in the current economic market? My money isn't even safe in the bank. SVB just collapsed. What's next? Please, anybody with tips on how I can get started in the stock market, I'll appreciate.
Concentrate on two main objectives. First, keep yourself safe by knowing when to sell stocks in order to limit losses and maximize gains. Second, get ready to benefit from market changes. I advise consulting a CFP or other professional for advice.
I remember when I was dropped from Airbnb a couple years ago. I dusted off and moved on. Running a health tech startup now, and making the equivalent of my six-figure annual salary in months from the market. I outsource the investing part, and focus on my startup. Every disappointment is a blessing.

Last year in May, I had 4 books which I read over past 5 years, but within a year, today I've read more than 40 books, not by watching any video, or getting hyped up by someone, but by genuinely investing myself into it.
Whenever I talk about a book I've read in front of others, 99% of them just seem to be bored by it, or simply just listening to get through this part of the conversation as quick as possible.
Well, I do not read for others, I'll continue to read for the rest of my life and continue to gain knowledge

Reading ebooks, listening to audiobooks are also best way of sticking to daily learning practice and adapts to current generation. Nowadays children's are more exposed to visual learning through animations to understand concepts even better which was quite hard when reading via books.. preparation through visual learning aids in creativity, better learning and practical understanding which was impossible in the past where school labs are the only ways for better understanding. Thanks to firstpost and Madam Palki Sharma for this topic and it was quite useful
That's true but learning and understanding is one thing, expression is another. The ability to express and articulate can best be developed by reading books. Same way traditional classroom teaching method cannot be replaced by Online learning, reading books can't be replaced by listening podcasts.
@@nobodycares3953 it will place verymuch less emphasis on reading books, if you learned grammar in elementary school that should be enough to express yourself, i would think speaking several languages more important than reading and writing in only 1 perfectly
@@achillesglacia7700I somewhat disagree, not completely though. As someone who knows 6 languages, including how to read them at least, a few I can write also, it is not just about expressing oneself. The words can fire one's imagination in ways that is sometimes difficult or different than learning something visually. Giving a small example here. Read a book and then watch a movie. Seldom the movie lives upto your imagination. Also words, when read, can mean something else entirely to one person than it would to another when not expressed vocally/without emotion. We interpret the emotions and meaning for ourselves.
This by no means discredits visual learning. Both have their pros and cons.

I too discovered a newfound love for reading during the pandemic. Instead of my usual routine like singing or mindlessly scrolling through my Instagram reels, I decided to explore the world books. There’s something truly magical about the feel of a physical book in your hands, the sensation of turning each pages as you immerse yourself in a different world. It’s been an interesting experience and I am absolutely activated by the power of literature. Reading has become a cherished part of my life and I look forward to exploring more literary adventures. It has become more than a past time, it’s source of joy and inspiration that has enriched my life.
I'm 20, I've recently read my first novel 1984 by george orwell, as a student we read education books all the time but getting immersed into the world of fiction is a unique and peaceful experience and I've found myself loving it so far.
I loved 1984 and I'm looking forward to read more non ed books.

I have develeoped a passion of bookreading like my mom. And for different reasons but still, books are here to stay a while longer
Books are the best friends that a person can have. A good book can transform the trajectory of a person in a whole new direction. As Mark Twain rightly said, "One who does not read good books has no advantage over a person who can't". Currently, I am reading the Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz
I started reading books in jan, 2023. My first book was 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Cohelo and that was one of the best experience of my life.
It was like experiencing a long, adventurous journey just by sitting at one place.

Reading a book.....adds so much value to our lives. Books are valuable, eternal and meaningful gifts. Digitalisation cannot and must not replace reading books. It's such a joy to read, to know, to understand and to save and store your books. I value each one of them. Thank you Palki 🙏
Mrs Sharma picked subject very close to my heart. I am currently trying publish a book of poetry and prose. Have been working on for 2 years. But question is Will anyone out there Read it? Another point closely related is writing. The current generation losing ability to write, many School systems in America don't teach kids how write or read cursive letters anymore. If we suddenly lost internet tomorrow a lot of people going be totally lost because can't read a book.
I am currently fightling the urge to check social media every night before bed. I have not been able to read 10 pages in a single day for longer than I can remember, but I am trying to change that. I am currently reading Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel and Closer to Love by Vex King. ❤ Thank you so much for telling people like me that we are not alone. I aspire to read atleast these two books by the end of this year, plus some audiobooks that I am listening to. ✨

All we need is a good old book. So true! I am currently reading Mailbu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid. This beautiful book is about family and it shows you how family can be the people that love you more than anything else in the world but also the ones that cause you the most amount of heartbreak. The fact that the entire storyline of this book takes place throughout one single night but you're still able to dive in and know so much about every individual character is a reading experience of its own.
Thank you for your time, Ms Palki Sharma. Bravo 👏

I started to read book during my late twenties after hit rock bottom because of my own ignorance about myself. I thought the world owe me. What I got a return was only disappointments. Then when I started to read I realised that almost everyone in this world believes that the world owe them too. So instead of expecting I started to give. Trust me this is the best feeling ever!!!

@@human2443I would recommend - Who moved my cheese by Spencer Johnson / Alchemist by Paulo Coelho / The Monk who sold his Ferrari by Robin Sharma / Any books written by Sudha Murthy - these are some of the easiest and best books to get you into the mood of reading as they are easily understandable and also keeps you interested in the book
@@human2443start with atomic habits by James clear
You need a lot more than just books if you read self-help books, I'm afraid
It's all about the touch and aroma which a book produces and it's call magic. Good job Palki. ❤ from Pakistan

Can u suggest for easy English books for both kids children adult
@@Srivanisareswathy07u can always use a dictionary Vani, if you don't have dict go with the flow you will understand the context
@@Srivanisareswathy07start with simple 200-300 pages books, make a goal of reading 1 chapter or 30mins a day.. that's it
Coming or recommendations I don't know anything about non fiction but in fiction Harry Potter/Agatha Christie(in general most thrillers) books are very easy and interesting, they are a good place to start..
Generally most best sellers have easy language
For those who believe it is a futile task don't know the belief in the magic and knowledge hidden in these vast treasure troves. Very Good Ma'am, very excellent video and quite an inspirational. Makes one contemplate even now
Writing is immortal so is the reading book.ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE❤
I'm a 25 year old girl & i recantly developed the art of reading book in my self & i'm proudly saying that i have completed 3 books in last 7 months 🤓 my 1st book was "think & grow rich " by Napoleon hill's ,2nd "wings of fire" by apj abdul kalam 3rd was "godan" by Munshi Premchand & 4th i'm currently reading is "that night "by nidhi Upadhyay & it's very interesting little bit scary also 😅💀👻

Her choice of reading books is wonderful except the Napolean'$.
Indian Literature is far better than theirs.

@@amjadiqbal478 yupp
I absolutely agreed .
People now a days spent lot of time on social meadia, twitter and all. They want to change themselves but again and again they were trapped by there phone . In the last few days I have read 2 novels. I can see the changes in me and my mind clearly. And I also motivate people to read books. Infact Today I want to give a book to my friend on his birthday. ❤
Those Who Read Today Will Lead In Future. 👍
For me books are like my first love. No matter what, I can go back and get engrossed in the same story that I've already read 2-3 times. The experience is beautiful. The satisfaction of completing a book is something else. I, for one can never ever give up reading because it takes me away to another world full of surprises....
Can anyone tell me what kind of books both fiction and non fiction books for childrens and teen age you say books names easy to read plz
@@Srivanisareswathy07 You can try Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, Percy Jackson series, Kane Chronicles for fiction. As for non fiction, it depends on what u want to read or about whom

@@12.kavyaxi-c62 Hi
When Covid happened, I started to read, I have read many books so far. I'm from Karnataka so I finished some of the must read Kannada books initially which you might not be able to. Self help books never work on me and it's too boring to read. So my first English book was 'The Alchemist', It was a really good read and I would recommend the same. Palace of Illusion, Thousand splendid Suns(my top favourite but it's a tragic story), The Silent patient(suspense) and there are many more but I don't remember now
@@12.kavyaxi-c62 sorry to barge I but I'd say start with Haruki Murakami s the wind up bird chronicle❤
My name is Maruti from Bangalore.
I'm a speed reading and memory trainer. I can read 500 pages within 5 hours without skipping single word.
I have trained 20000(20k) students all over karnataka since 2017.Thanks for this video 🙏🙏..
Can I know how you do it? Is it some kind of a coaching class? And online /offline?
@@KeerthiReddyS there are scammers promoting speed reading. There is no such thing. Take your time read your book , digest, go back a page or two to get a good comprehension.
Someone who claims to be speed reading is here just to scam and sell fake courses.
I love books but look at the price of paper & trifold inflation in less than 5 years ... Not even 25 ℅ can afford to read books regularly 🥺😡
@@BagoGarde Yeah I should've probably thought about that. Thanks for the info. Appreciate it!!
I am a 57 year old man and proponent of the written page.

Brilliant analysis madam!!...As always, you are on spot and never beating around the bush.
The topic you have spoken today on reading books should be shown to every teacher in schools, colleges and to parents too.
I am reading 'The book of Five Rings' (Miyamoto Musashi)
Have a great weekend and keep on reading books! ; )
I got aquainted to Reading by my Professor and in his home there are around 3-4 thousands books .... from there I started and now I also have Decent collection of books, mostly philosophical.
°Sophie's World
°Yathartha Geeta

Read "The Last Choice" by me
@@thebhaaratytcan you please give your wise review of this book ..like what are the areas it touches ..
I started reading 3 years back...before that honestly i was in my studies and after getting ing settled down professionally, i have started reading books with a target of 15 days a book covering 2 in a month. Honestly in this fast pace century, people forgot to slow down a bit and observe the surroundings even. But i think now as i m career wise settled, i read every single day and i used to share with the world out there also. Be a little old school, get up early, meditate, hear morning sounds, watch sunrises, play with kids, read books, be honest and truthful. These things never go out of fashion. ❤❤❤❤❤❤thank u for this video. I m glad i have seen it without getting distracted ❤

I remember when I was young I used to visit our distant rich relative. They had a Settee in the hall which had 3 cupboards crammed with paper backs.I used to take one book out of it (Perry Mason,Agatha Christie) and went on reading for hours together. The head of the family observed this and allowed me to take home as many books as I want. I remember finishing the whole lot within few months. Such was a fascination of books for me.
How awesome that must have been!!! I read through an entire lending library, albeit a small, but crammed one😅😅😅. And because of that I got some free books and discounted prices on books that I wanted to buy, from our library uncle. That library is no longer there😢 but those emotions and memories remain. Thanx for the great reminder!
@@sunchi1461 Great 👍
You come out with a different perspective. Kudos. Interesting and informative.
I am reading " The power of subconscious mind "....Thanks for a great remainder to all...U inspire us a lot👍
yesterday I finished reading the art of war and it was really a nice book right now I am reading the republic by plato its a bit of difficult to understand but yah the lessons are priceless
This is so unfortunately true! I usually read 20-30 books a year but I haven't even completed 10 books this year 😭
Let's make people read again 📖
I had started reading personal development books, biographies, self-help books from my graduation because till PUC every child of INDIA go through competitive exam preparation which doesn't give time for other activities like sports, reading books, exercise, yoga, skill development etc., Thank you for this video which teaches the importance of book reading habit.
❤Thank you for this beautiful video! Reading these days is a struggle for me too. Presently, I'm on the book titled "How to be Exceptional"
I have always liked the saying that "a person who does not read is no better off than a person who cannot read".

As an English teacher, I strongly recommend that young and inexperienced readers begin with short graded readers such as the Oxford Bookworm Series. These graded readers are intended for second language students and contain many pictures to accompany the texts. The readers are arranged in 6 levels (according to level of difficulty in vocabulary and grammatical structures). I have used them for many years in the Middle East with teenagers and young adults. The students I taught in Riyadh loved them and became very avid readers, gradually building their own home libraries. Many of these stories retell famous English classics and modern stories in language accessible to beginner and intermediate level students. Later, the students can progress to the stories in their original form.
@@DonaldPeterLambethank you so much really I will do mam 😊
@@DonaldPeterLambe sure mam I will see to Oxford bookworm series
@@DonaldPeterLambe mam where can I get these books mam ,cost will be affordable mam plz say mam
Excellent content. Always preferred physical book over ebook. Read newspaper everyday because I love reading. Mobile has many benefits but It's also highly distracting.
I’m on a journey to help people revive their reading culture by starting a book club this January, so your video is timely. However, books are now ever more expensive than they were in the past so you can see why people prefer to spend money on other priorities
