Learning to read , write and compose is a privilege. Not all human beings get this privilege of learning these special qualities. This qualities not only help us with other humans but with ourselves in the rest of our lives. As a matter of fact, I don’t like reading at all, but then reading is a part of our life. When I was in

She used to teach us the english subject. She always gives the idea that if you don't read well then you can't know anything at all. Once in a week she used to take us to the libary room and tell everybody to read different thing other than text books. This way of reading different books inspire me to read a lot. As time went on we had to focus on the textbooks rather than outside books , I spent less time on reading .But I have not quit the habit of reading. Whenever I got the free time I remembered her motivational speech and started to read .
And next source of reading inspiration was my Grandfather. He was not just only a friend to me but also a teacher . He has a vast knowledge of religious books such as "Gita" .He started to teach me the sanskrit (the language) which I have not learned in the school .So I was the only one who knows sanskrit in the school. We (grandfather and me) once in a week used to tell me so boy lets start to read the book. By that time it has become a habit to me to read the book.
Slowly I started to read faster than before. The "Gita " book teaches us the everything about the universe and the people. What is good and bad .As I went on reading the book I know why he teach me to read this book .First of all religious values and the language that is disappearing.
