Vachan Prerana Din: A Day to Love Books

 

Vachan Prerana Din, which means "Reading Inspiration Day" in English, is a special day celebrated in India every year on October 15th.

Why do we celebrate this day?

We celebrate this day to honor the birth anniversary of a very great person, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. He was a famous scientist and also served as the 11th President of India.

Dr. Kalam was a person who loved to read and write very much. He believed that Books are the best friends and that reading is very important for gaining knowledge, developing imagination, and becoming successful in life.

Open a Book, Open Your World: Why Reading is Your Secret Superpower

We all have dreams and goals, whether it’s learning a new skill, traveling the world, or just having a more interesting day. There's one simple habit that can help you with all of this: Reading.

Reading isn't just something you do in school; it's your personal superpower. When you pick up a book, you're not just looking at words—you're getting a direct ticket to a different life, a new country, or a brilliant mind.

Why Reading is So Amazing

1. It Makes You Smarter

Think of your brain as a muscle. When you read, you give it a great workout! Every time you learn a new word or understand a complicated idea, your brain gets sharper and better at thinking. Reading helps you understand things faster, solve problems better, and speak more clearly.

2. It Stretches Your Imagination

In a book, a writer builds an entire world just for you. When you read, you become the director, creating the images, sounds, and feelings in your mind. This exercise in imagination helps you become more creative in all parts of your life, from finding a new solution at work to telling a funny story.

3. It Gives You Empathy

Reading stories about people who are different from you—from different cultures, time periods, or backgrounds—helps you see the world through their eyes. This makes you more understanding and compassionate towards others. It teaches you that everyone has a story, and it makes you a better friend and citizen.

4. It's the Best Stress Reliever

Had a long, stressful day? Ten minutes with a good novel can be more relaxing than watching TV. When you dive into a book, your mind focuses on the story, allowing your real-world worries to fade away. It's a peaceful escape that leaves you feeling calm and refreshed.

How to Start Your Reading Habit

It can feel hard to start reading if you're out of practice. Here are a few easy tips to make books a part of your daily routine:

·         Start Small: Don't try to read a huge, difficult book first. Pick a topic that genuinely interests you—a cooking book, a graphic novel, or a short mystery story. Even 10 to 15 minutes of reading each day is a great start.

·         Always Carry a Book: Whether it's a physical book or an e-book on your phone, always have something ready. You can use small pockets of time—while waiting for a bus, standing in line, or before falling asleep—to read.

·         Find Your Spot: Create a comfortable reading nook. Having a dedicated space makes it feel like a special, relaxing activity instead of a chore.

·         Try Audiobooks: If you don't have time to sit and read, try listening to an audiobook during your commute, while exercising, or doing chores. Listening counts as reading!

Your next big idea, your next moment of calm, and your next adventure could all be waiting inside the pages of a book. Why not pick one up today?
