When i used to read for college ....one article and one reading was All the time i would get ...coz if the evilness i live with ...returned back from work and saw me with the Economic Times or the TOI ....there would be a Loud... Kaw Kaw Kaw session and Hell to Pay ...
as his sister who taught in a college in assssam never ever read newspapers... nor did research and he could not understand my addiction to reading ...he does not Read per se ...i always did his research for him right from college days ...he has to write a paper and i had to forage for material and courier it to asssam from Pune ....ergo ...lost case
so One reading and i knew Every Word by Heart ....my brains were on a Schrödinger's Wheel ...so to speak .... i never read the text from text and reference books i followed ...
i would read newspapers and even the radio gave me material to teach ...Examples via advertisements and songs and jingles and my fav show was broadcast by the Mumbai office of Radio One ...a show where stalwarts from the field of advertising... were interviewed and their playlist which used to be a mix of English and Hindi songs would be showcased .... listened to it till 2012 ...
when i returned to India in July 2013 that show was gone and so was my will to teach and the radio was in a different space too ...
since 2012 reading has been Predominantly Online ....and when i have 8-9 tabs open ....
and time is an Ally now ...
the Desperation to Remember Every Word i Read is gone
hmmm ... should get back to Brain Games

Awsummm Funnn it can be
kinda like Solitude
ummm the card game not the song
