Book reading is a real pleasure

the poet of the east has rightly said that the greatest taste is to get the bottom of a word taste, rather enjoy the taste of food and drink. According to Francis Bacon, “Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.” Harry S Truman has said that in reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves … self-discipline with all of them came first. So, books are our best friend. In order to develop healthy reading habits, make a collection of books of your interest and set a regular time for reading. Nowadays, portable mobile phones also made it easy reading of any kind of book. How can we inculcates into minds of our young generation is also a problem. As a saying of a writer, “Life is whole but youth is half yet to be realized.” Remoteness, backwardness, poverty, low income, lack of basic infrastructure is destined to our beloved District Chitral. Despite these social and financial impediments, our district boasts to cradle the second rank in the field of education in the province. Being far-flung villages, lack of reading halls, government libraries and even books shops our young generation easily victim to the contemporary surplusage of social media as well as recourse to social evils like Naswar, cigarette and least to extremism and terrorism. In order to equip our youth in a more vibrant and attracts their attention towards studies and books reading; it is need of the hour to provide a right platform. I have an idea shares with you. It is simple initiative from our young generations as well as well-off families of our villages based on their self-services and contributions; we can easily establish a ‘Library’ in each and every village of our remote areas, we can also make a ‘Youth Welfare Society’ in each village through which we can raise a fund as well as access to any books donor agencies in the country. In this way, we can provide a decent and congenial atmosphere to our youth for books reading and we can boost up their potentialities in great extent and to mitigate from the contemporary disease or bad habits.]]>
