The Essential Sunday Reading !

The Essential Sunday Reading !

The Sunday Reading is a joy that is second to none! I really cherish the couple of hours that I spend on reading. It is a big challenge to protect the reading time with all other Sunday demands – a 4 year old energy tsunami, weekend social commitments, office email backlog, unforeseen work etc. A good workaround is to start early morning or use the lazy afternoon time.

The Essential Sunday Reading for me includes:
The Sunday Express + Eye
The Times Of India – The CREST Edition
The Speaking Tree
The Economic Times Magazine
The Screen Weekly
Fortune / Forbes

I also try to ensure that I read one to two books in a month. The last read was The Night Of January Sixteenth by Ayn Rand.

Best Young Writers in Gujarati

The Sunday Express’ Eye carries the cover story on India’s Best Young Writers. It is a good idea and features the new talents in different languages.

The Gujarati world features Kajal Oza Vaidya and Shishir Ramavat. They are both are profiled by Tarak Mehta, the renowned writer and humorist.
