Reading Newspaper!

slp807 · Jul 9, 2007

Hi vanaja,

nice thread!!!
when i'm in India my day use to start with paper in my hands,i love to read it in the morning , i use to turn to the sports edition(i love all the sports) first and then the regular news.there is lot of information to gain and english improves a lot and will get know the meanings so many new words
my favourite newspaper is TOI (times of India) and eenadu(telugu)

i missing it now but i will make sure to go through the online edition daily but not in the early hrs .
somehow feels like holding the paper and reading it, gives u a feel that u read the paper for the day.

cheers

Dear Vanaja Madam,
you opened aGood thread of "Reading News Paper" becoz every common man will go through one or other Daily { news paper) in His/Her mother tounge and in english also if he is educated. I know some persons who used to
Read 3or4 Dailies from A to Z everyday. As far as my view is concerned a NP is
having Both good and Bad.
Good things are 1) It keeps, us upto date with the latest happenings at the LOcal,National,and international level. 2) Upto date Market Rates of commodities, Traintimings,Bullion market,share market etc are No doubt useful to some sector of peoples atleast.
The Bad Things are 1)It brings news of Robery,arson,rape and the news of Worst politics of our present day which makes our brain with unnecessary Stuf.
Morning Time is precious for every one .One must attend to his/her routine duties whih should be done during that time only.

Dear Nischel Sir,

Thank u for your reply. You have nicely categorized the good and bad. What you have mentioned is absolutely true.

I agree mornings would be appropriate time to read newspaper, but we ladies have other priorities .

Thank you once again.

regards,

Vanaja

Hi Vanaja Ma'am,

Even though this is an old thread, newspapers are still hot and fresh everyday.. so I thought i'll revive the thread..
So has your time of reading and preferences changed presently?
My fav time to read is just after waking up, sipping my masala tea. I glance the important headlines, read the city news for any power cuts, water problems or road blocks!!! Then look at international, its a quicker glance. Then its on to editorial, masala news, astrology for the day etc. Finally I sit with the crossword and sudoku while having my breakfast or waiting for the cab.
The advantage of reading the paper in the morning is that you know whats happening, and you can be prepared for things in the city.. also one wont look like a fool when collegues discuss things over lunch!
The disadvantage is we start couting the murders in our city, the thefts etc and start worrying every minute.
What do other ILites say?

Dear,
Since i leave for work very early in the morning, i catch up news in the computer. Back home after dinner i catch up other articles.

Sundays it is during breakfast time.
