Reading

Reading is one of most absorbing hobbies. It Sharpens ones' comprehension.Build ones' self-assurance and skill in dominating a page of print.Also helps in developing good vocabulary.

Reading Techniques:

Five techniques which you must master to be a better reader are
  • Reading more, and for longer period of time,(read an entire novel or a complete magazine in single evening).
  • Reading always, and everything, with a calm, sure, confident sense of urgency.
  • Reading with keen awareness of the structure of a piece of writing.
  • Reading flexibly, (adjusting your rate and style of reading to what you read and your purpose in reading it).
  • Reading so that you interpret more of what you see in less time.
What to Read? 
 
Learning to read, as you know is a continuous, never ending process. If you do very little additional reading, or if you read only material that offers no challenge to your comprehension, your reading will be of very little use.

You should neither read only for entertainment, nor only for information, but you should also read for intellectual growth, mental stimulation, enriching your background of knowledge, increased wisdom and for broader outlook and a mature understanding.

Read books in fields you have little or no acquaintance with, books that will open for you new horizons of learning, books that will help you explore new areas of knowledge and experience, books that will make the world and people more understandable to you.

Happy Reading :)

Music played, smiles appeared, and the silence between strangers slowly melted away. 🎶  Ice Breakers, Music & Moving Feet Quick introductions turned into laughter. DJ music turned into dancing.

Just Being Me — A Life of Journeys, Purpose and Little Moments

A simple story of a woman who chose to live, learn, travel, grow and keep discovering herself. There are some lives that cannot be described by a job title, a designation, or a list of achievements. Mine is one of them. I am  Gayathri Raghunathan  — a professional, a traveller, a learner, a nature lover, a spiritual seeker, a homemaker, a dreamer, and above all, a woman who believes that life is meant to be experienced. I don't have a perfect life. I have a real one — filled with responsibilities, challenges, beautiful people, unexpected turns, lessons, laughter, journeys and countless little moments that have shaped who I am today. And perhaps, that is what makes my story beautiful. 🌿 A Girl Who Grew Up to Become Her Own Person Life has taught me that becoming yourself is a journey. Over the years, I have grown from someone simply moving through life's stages into a woman who understands what she values, what makes her happy and what kind of life she wants to create. I have ...

🎬  The Beginning – 1999 Magic I was in my  10th standard  when  Padaiyappa  released. Wow… wow… wow! What a  terrific theatrical experience  it was. Watching my  Superstar Thalaivar  on the big screen was nothing short of electrifying. As a young fan girl, I loved the movie to the core and admired Thalaivar with all my heart.
