My father always made efforts to inculcate the good habit of reading books. We started initially with reading newspaper paragraph. Tried finding new words out of it and remember them with their meaning. In 1990's we used to get Chandamama, Vigyan Pragati, Nandan and many more books in the market. Monthly we used to get Chandamama, Vigyan Pragati, and Nandan. Must say we loved every bit of reading these. I wish if I can get them for my kids. In Pune, I have not seen them so far. How beautiful these memories are. I wish sometimes to go back and just be there with my father. He influenced my life in many ways. Though we are not in taking terms for about 8 years but his thoughts, beliefs and lessons are still with me. Not a single day passes without remembering him.
I started reading during my master's in JNU. JNU is a place for studious people and I am fortunate enough to get a chance to study. Whenever there is a queue for admission or near the bus stop or clinic's, saw students reading books. JNU has a big library and we benefited out of it in many ways. One of my friend suggested me to start reading "Anne Frank's Diary", enjoyed it completely. Since then I developed my love for reading. Well reading books are very good and I really feel it does the below to everyone who reads
Friends I had 9 years break with my job and continued to stay at home mom in all these years. And completely engrossed in the housewifey role that now I feel I am lacking in my english writing. Please bear with me. This blog helping me to get back to writing once again.

These are the books which I want to finish, all are pending for completion. I am not a person who loves spending outside the home. Either it should be with family or a book which gives me knowledge or anything to learn. For some time, I really imagine things written in them or discuss on the topics I cover with my husband.
Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.

I truly believe they are my best friend rather would say the same on behalf of my husband. Once he commits to reading he finishes on time. These days when kids are asleep we start reading Sadhguru and discuss. It is really so much fun.
There is no friend as loyal as a book.
–Ernest Hemingway
This is so true for "The Secret" and "You can heal your life, Louise Hay" books. Both the books helped me to set myself free from my fears, beliefs which were meant to go.
Some books leave us free and some books make us free.
–Ralph Waldo Emerson
