Yash Sharma

Namaste reader, My name is Yash, and books for me are like a medicine, which removes my ignorance and also helps me in behaving more like a human.Though I live in the world’s largest democracy, India, but when I look around, I realized that this democratic nation of mine has turned into a kind of feudal oligarchy or kleptocracy, where people from a particular community or I would say particular surname has hijacked this democracy, and the political parties in India has turned itself into a kind of family enterprises where the family members are the only shareholders. And I want to change this, and books are a weapon which is helping me, so that I can help others and my nation.Shukriya for reading this Thought of mine.

    Thanks for these wonderful tips in reading books that I must say really applicable to me. I stopped reading books quite awhile. This time, I’m starting all over again and I found your site. Articles on books you’ve read and us readers learnt from it. I like A Thousand Splendid Suns so far. I want to read also on my own and see how the story goes. I checked in the library and luckily still available. Upon reading, I decided I want to have my own copy so I bought my own. Difficult words, find its meaning and keep in mind. Slowly, I’m still reading and gaining additional knowledge from it.

    It’s never too late for us to learn. Whether reading articles or books. Just consider the proper choice and make sure we learn from it and apply to our daily lives. Keep it up Yash…:)
