Dear Diary! They say books are your best friends. Perhaps that is why I have few human friends, because I love reading books. When I was a five-year-old, I remember papa gifted me a Barbie doll; along with it was a tiny book – with other Barbie dolls. That was my first book, the one I still have. From there began my friendship with dear books. My colleagues at school often tease me that though grown up I am so crazy about dolls and books on them. Hardly does anyone know I have a secret love for romance books too. The Fault in Our Stars is my favourite. I imagine myself as a 16-year-old Hazel and wonder if ever my Augustus will come. Neither at school nor at college is anyone who sees me that way. I feel sad and try to move on – same as the protagonists in my reads. I wish I could in fact write a book someday. If not in real, maybe how I imagine my Prince Charming can be a story. I have heard book publishing world has gone rather easy, though I wonder if I could only get

Some years ago when reading technology was still being upgraded, new devices were being launched for the book lovers who found it tough to carry 5-6 books at a time, I read somewhere, “ Get free Ebooks .”, Wait! What? Free? What could have been better! I too thought it to be the time to try the Kindle reading device, after all, who doesn’t like a few extra bucks saved? The changes the world has witnessed in the last 200 years have been vital in the field of technology. It so happened when the people around the world met each other and exchanged cultures. With these exchanged ideas have come exceptional inventions – and these inventions are no doubt from the read people from around the world. When we say ‘read’, it means most of these celebrated geniuses are well-read. Free ebooks today are an additional motivation to read more, however, books, not only today or a century ago but even millennia ago, were a motivational tool for a change. Free ebooks are now an added motiv

In 1581, the idea of a coffee table book was first mentioned in an essay. Years later, in the 1950s came the first book into existence, a hardbound book with a lot of pictures and just a handful of text. Since electronic gadgets have come into play, books are losing their charm with time. People today are too busy with their fast-paced life; they have little time to read, so lately, personalised books have gained a prominent position in the book industry. These books serve multiple purposes, to be used as a photo album or a traditional textbook. For the same reason, such books are loved by most of the people, pictures speak more than the text. Countless art books have been published worldwide on various subjects – on art, cultures, dance, jewellery, cuisine, wildlife, places, people – but not many are dedicated to successful and enterprising families. But recently many people have started getting books personalised on them. These are the books for personalised stories are b

Of all the things in the world, what every human loves is birthdays. Children are always excited and overjoyed about this beautiful celebration. When I was a child, I remember always looking forward to my birthday.

I secretly loved real life story books and loved receiving them as gifts from friends and relatives.   I also remember when once one of my best friends from school came at my birthday, he was holding a big carton. Wow! I was so happy to see such a big present in his hands, but when it was opened, it had nothing except a ball. Rest of that carton was filled with thermocol. I never invited that friend of mine ever again! Years gone by now, a couple of days ago my daughter came to me and asked if she could invite her sc

Of all the ways of entertainment, cinema is no doubt the best. Film is a language that the cinema-maker uses to express his emotions to the world. Cinemas started in the mid-19th century and spread throughout the world by the 20th century in Charlie Chaplin era of black and white silent films. In India too, the cinema began with silent film during the British Raj in the early 20th century. The first Indian film released in India was Shree Pundalik , a silent film in Marathi by Dadasaheb Torne on 18 May 1912 at Coronation Cinematograph, Bombay. And then there was no looking back. Today, the number of films produced and watched in India are far more than any other part of the world. That in India movies are made in over 20 languages is another milestone! People who have influenced the Indian film industry are mostly the Khans and Punjabi personalities . And with changing times, the Indian cinema has set its feet in many other parts of the world.
