Book Review: Dust On The Mountain by Ruskin Bond

One of the best things about a book is that it lets you get lost in a wonderful story! A story that is interesting and engrossing and so amazing that you just don’t want it to ever finish. And if the story comes with a brilliant message as well, then you know you have a book well chosen! In Dust on the Mountain by Ruskin Bond, I found one such very well chosen book to read and review. I know what you are thinking. It’s like showing a candle to the Sun, talking about a story by Ruskin Bond, right? I agree. After all, he is one of the greatest children’s book writers of our country. This is one author, whose children’s stories are not merely for children but for adults as well. In fact, every time you read a story by Bond, you find new meaning in it. The depth in his humble, simple stories leaves you enchanted every single time you read them! And true to his amazing story telling skill, The Dust On The Mountain has a unique voice that stays with you long after you have finis...

Book Review – The Man From The Egg: Unusual Tales about the Trinity

Growing up in a family where everyone loves stories has its advantages. Bed times, meal times, picnics, trips to and back from school – everything becomes fun when you have storytellers accompanying you everywhere. Be it your grandparents, parents, siblings, cousins, uncles or aunts – everyone has a story to tell, and no matter where you are and with whom, you are always happy listening to stories. It also helps when you grow up, because there is a lot of wisdom in folklore and a certain sense of humour, which teaches you a way of taking life and its trials with a pinch of salt. As children when you listen to stories, your imagination works overtime and your perception of the stories you hear leaves a vivid imprint on your mind. So that when you grow up, and maybe hear the same stories, you are instantly transported to the land where you spent your childhood! As an adult when you tell these same stories to your young ones, that land comes alive once again – and the fact tha...

Handpicked reads for 6 to 9 year olds!

There was a time when I would cuddle with my little one over One Fish Two Fish by Dr. Suess or Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne. Reading out to the toddler in my lap who was only interested in the colourful pictures (and probably tearing the pages) and the different sounds I made when reading; I always wondered if my child will ever love books the way I do. Days passed and my little one grew up; and like any other child his age, he was now interested in fast cars, action figures, climbing trees and of course, watching the ever present TV! From a young age, I have tried my best to make books and reading as much a part of his day as playing and watching TV; and I also tried to avoid all the typical and inadvertent mistakes with my little one that most parents tend to make (including yourstruly at times) when raising readers. But still, he wouldn’t read as much as I would really have loved him to. So then I started to take him to the library regularly, leaving him to wander ...

Top 5 Interesting Reasons To Indulge In A Book!

Did you know that reading is not a natural ability, but an acquired ability of the human brain? Scientists have found that the human brain was not cut out for reading, the way it was for other things like talking, sleeping, eating and figuring out solutions to problems. According to Maryanne Wolf at the Center for Reading and Language Research at Tutts University and author of 'Proust and the Squid: The story and Science of the Reading Brain,' 'human beings were never born to read.' Unlike the ability to comprehend and create spoken language, which in normal circumstances will develop according to a program dictated by our genes, the ability to read needs to be conscientiously acquired by each individual. The 'reading circuits' we build are engaged from the structures in the brain that evolved for other purposes - and these circuits can be weak or they can be robust, depending on how often and how vigorously we use them. The human brain has modified ...

8 Great Tips to Enjoy Reading!

J. K. Rowling famously says, "If you don't like to read, you haven't found the right book" and I agree! As an avid reader who has experienced the magic of books first hand, I am already a life-long fan of reading. And as a parent, a wife and a friend, I am also constantly striving to inculcate the love for books and reading in my child, my husband, my friends and basically in anyone willing to listen! Initially, when I began recommending books, I started out by listening to my instincts a bit and relying on Google a lot. And I thought I was doing a great job too, until I realised that every time I visited the mall, my child and my husband happily gravitated towards the toys' and other sections while I wandered the book aisles in search of the perfect books for them! And then I began to notice a few things that I was doing all wrong! And that is when I put together this 8-step plan to ensure you avoid the mistakes we made and enjoy reading! ...
