Why You Must Read Books?

In today’s Instagram era, where our attention spans have shrunk to just 30 seconds, many of us have forgotten the simple pleasure of reading. But I believe reading is one of life’s greatest joys. Let me share why with my own experience.

When I was 12, I was the quietest kid in class, always following my parents’ and teachers’ guidance. While my classmates had hobbies like music, sports, and movies, I was solely focused on getting good grades and had nothing to talk about .I was feeling sad that I did not have any interest or extra-circular hobbies. After few years Then, when India went into lockdown, I turned to books. Though it was tough to concentrate at first, I gradually learnt about topics like mindfulness, psychology, and mental health, which proved to be invaluable.

But reading did more than just expand my knowledge. It helped shape my identity and personality. I formed my own opinions, developed my unique tastes, and learned to see the world through my own eyes. I’m forever grateful to the authors who opened my mind and changed my life.

Thank you.
