Celebrate National Reading Day: Reclaim the Magic of Books!
June 19th marks National Reading Day — a perfect moment to pause our endless scrolling and rediscover the joy of reading. In today’s fast-paced digital world, our attention spans are shrinking, and deep focus feels like a lost art. But guess what? Reading can flip that script.
Starting early with books builds vocabulary, sharpens thinking, and sparks curiosity that lasts a lifetime. It helps us focus better, remember more, and see the world from fresh perspectives. Plus, reading feels like a secret superpower for the mind!
We salute PN Panicker, the Libraryman of India, and applaud champions like Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta and Meenakshi Lekhi ji for keeping this beautiful tradition alive. At Ratna Nidhi, we support the simple yet powerful idea of dedicating one hour—9 to 10 AM or 4 to 5 PM—as Reading Hour. Can’t manage a full hour? Start with a few minutes. Every page counts!
Now, over to you: How do you make time for reading in your busy day? What’s your favorite book or reading ritual? Drop your thoughts and suggestions on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Let’s spark a reading revolution—one story at a time!
