How to Develop Your Reading Habit

Try finding something to read, so pick up any reading material like newspapers or magazines or even a book of short stories or a novel. Don’t choose a book that is too high for your level for that will be a waste of time.

Once a book is in hand, practice your reading habit. Set a time of at least 15 minutes to be spent on reading every day. Make this a habit and then increase your reading time.

Even if you are not comfortable, don’t give up. Try this again and again, don’t be ashamed for you are not a loser and don’t want to quit.

Read for the sake of pleasure and not under pressure. Too much pressure can land you into quitting this habit of reading. Simply enjoy your reading and don’t push hard for the outcome won’t be good.

You can read a review of the book before starting which makes it easier to decide whether to read it or not.

Master Chef - Kitchen ke super star and the Wow of it


Watching the cookery contest Master Chef - Kitchen ke super star on Star plus, I get the feel how passionate people are about Cooking, which is so clearly visible from the faces of the contestants. Presently Cooking contests, Cookery Blogs, interest of watching cookery shows and curiosity of people to do some magic in their kitchen has taken many hearts and thoughts by storm. Not that there was no kitchen at home, or no proper food in houses, or no eateries in towns and cities, or that people were not passionate about food, or many reasons that can crop up in one’s mind cannot contradict the fact about the rising craze for food.

Earlier there were only traditional food cooked in homes. But the broad horizon and people moving out to different parts of the world has brought in into the minds of mixing and matching different culinary to delight the palate. Thus cooking is not restricted to one’s kitchen these days, but men and women have taken a fascination of cooking up varieties of dishes, so that people can enjoy food in all forms of and not be stuck to traditional ones only. Fusion cooking makes a wide range of difference to the culinary taste.

Cooking gives pleasure to some. They like to innovate and feed people and get pleasure. You can be anywhere in the world, but food of your choice is available. This shows how cooking has crossed boundaries and become accessible.

At the thought, “If cooking would have been like politics where would it have landed”? Oh! God, there would have been chaos. Thank the Almighty, cooking is allowed to everyone and no word of “Rights” can catch it.

Watching the contestants in Master Chef - Kitchen ke super star contest is a delight. So many dishes cooked and just see the innovation that is displayed by participants. Wish the contestants the very best but then one has to come out as the WINNER. And the judges – they are simply wonderful!
