A thought passed through my mind when I was having a conversation with one of my friends.

I am a big movie buff and also an avid reader. I started to analyse what helps me to be rational and increase creativity. Movies are attractive and are pleasing to our eyes. Books, on the other hand, they are just plain text and a lot more tedious.

Comparing both books and movies, Books give us time to imagine also helps to increase creativity. For example, Looking at an orange shown and imagining an orange written in the text are two different things.

For both of us, Orange can be different. If you see it in a movie, it is just how it is shown. There is no time for creative juices to flow. You have to see what the director wants you to see.

Just think, what is your forte? What do you enjoy most books/movies?

I have given the reason why I love books more than movies.:)

The beauty of this quote is it applies to everything you do in life. Whatever activity you take up, It pains, but to suffer because it is up to you. Don't give up. It is not my intentio...

Why I read Newspaper ?

Amidst of Corona Pandemic, I have better reasons now to support my idea of reading a newspaper over reading social media posts for news and information. Whatsapp and twitter have gone deep into people's lives that they don't need anything else to know information and news. Unfortunately, They don't realise that they are infamous tools to spread misinformation and rumours. I understand that it takes a little more effort to read a newspaper article over a WhatsApp forward. But, Let me tell you it is worth the effort, as you get closer to the factual information. Call me old fashioned or someone more concerned with factual information. Generally, I like to examine the facts in the article before believing it. Online articles getting shorter with every passing day, we must switch to better reliable sources like a newspaper. I would personally recommend everyone to read the editorial section as it covers a variety of news/perspectives. I still think newspapers are ...
