In western societies one can find many people reading on the bus, trams and on long journeys. Recreational reading has become a way of life or Westerners, but why is it not developed in our country?
In our country, we prefer gossiping to utilize our leisure time productively. It is very rare to find a person holding a book and reading on a vehicle. Even if one does, the book is either a guess paper or a text book where people are busy mugging up for their exams. Who do we blame for this situation? is it our upbringing that has made us like we are? Well, whatever the reason may be, we must develop the habit of reading outside our curriculum. This not only help us make better use of our leisure time but also develops our intellectual skills.
A person can learn a great deal about music, sports, crime and many other issues by acquiring the habit of reading. Reading novels of different writers helps to enhance our writing skills. If one aims to polish his or her language skills, reading different genres of books is a must. also, a book can become a good companion. The myriad advantages of reading books cannot be questioned. However, people of our country still have not formed the habit of reading books, which have great values. A person can find plenty of reading materials in school, colleges and in public libraries. As a part of the social cause, various organizations have established libraries in several places. However, use of these libraries are minimal. People may find it difficult to read material out of their course but having this mindset is totally wrong. Parents usually do not encourage their children to read books but they overlook the benefits that the reading of book creates.
Knowledge gained from reading both novels and expert non-fiction books can come in handy when we are involved in discussions with others. Rather that spending considerable time on useless things, one should form the habit of reading books.
