Where Do You Love To Read?

Under the blanket or on the floor?

When it comes to books, it's always a great idea to break out of the back-beaten reading spots, and explore the unknown. While under the blanket and on the bus are options tried and tested, we got five bookworms to confess to the most unusual places where they've ended up reading their beloved pieces of lit. 

The Gym? 
"I love taking a book to the gym. Hop on to the treadmill, and read a chapter - best way to not get bored and tired too easily. You get stared at, but hey, you've got to do what you've got to do." Aarti Ramnani, professor, Ahmedabad

The Floor?
"I end up reading on the floor next to a charging plug point, 80 per cent of the time. Because Kindle needs charging, and I have no patience to wait till the battery reaches 100 per cent again. Plus it's more comfortable to binge eat, and read at the same time on the floor." Nupur Khanna, writer, Delhi

The Kitchen?
"I love reading in the kitchen while I am waiting for the tea to brew, or waiting for the food to heat up. Perfect use of all those extra minutes which would, otherwise, be spent staring at the microwave display." Akansha Joshi, key accounts manager, Mumbai

The Pool?
"I don't know how to swim so I read in the pool instead. No, seriously. I stand really close to the steps in really shallow water, spread the towel outside the pool area, and keep my book there while maintaining my balance perfectly well in the pool. It's fun." Vidhi Jhaveri, illustrator, Bangalore

Before School? 

 

In The Bed? 


On The Steps? 


In The Garden?

I can practically read anywhere. Be it in the school bus on foggy mornings, or in the class room, when the teacher is not around, or the lunch break, while having food. I just need a book which is good and intriguing.

I don''t much mind about the place. But it''s comfortable in bed before sleeping or on the sofa while watching T.V.

If the book is extremely engrossing, I might as well read it everywhere I go.

Mehek Sayyed Padua High School , Mankhurd

On the BED..

Heti Desai SRI SRI RAVI SHANKAR

I love adventures book and horror books along with comics as they are fun to read and are not so boring to read. Horror books create suspense while comics make us laugh and horror make us scare ..... This also profs that books are all rounder ...

Aishwarya Iyer Deens Academy

Yes, i cant decide where I like reading, the best. Being a bookworm, i can read almost anywhere. Although, i dont read on buses and cars because reading on moving vehicles is bad. Most places except erect chair are awesome to sit and read on or in.

KAPISH BANSAL J.M. INTERNATIONAL SCH00L

i like to read alot so i can read anywhere

Medha Gaur P.Obul Reddy Public School

I like a certain space in my house, when it is silent. It''s more of an atmospheric thing for me. Tea, warmth, comfortable chair, and a good light source on the text and I could read for hours anywhere! And reading in a library seems to focus me into the text more!

Bhavana Jaison Atomic Energy Central School No 2

I love to read at the comfort of my bed .

I have a passionate interest for books and nothing makes me happier than having a stack of books on my night stand to attack on a night when there is no alarm clock in the morning.

Neelavani Bethel Mat Hr Sec School

I love to read book in the BED

JayaShabari S. Christ International School

I don''t really care where I''m reading as long as it is comfortable and quiet. I usually am found reading on the couch or on my bed curled up with a blanket. If the book is really interesting, I like to take it wherever I go.

Avani Goyal Slate

It always depends on the kind of book I am reading.For example when it is horror I would love to read it under my blanket in the torch or when it is humorous I would love to sit with my friends and read it.

Iman Ray Shri Shikshayatan School

When there''s a interesting novel lying in just front of you, it really doesn''t require a proper place to read. Every place seems suitable to reach the climax of the novel to turn the pages of mystery .. But a calm place could enhance that feeling .

MATHILAN.S.V Amalorpavam Higher Secondary School - Puducherry

I like to read on a clam place

Thakur Aastha REUBS

Either by walking or on steaps

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE. The programme serves as a catalyst of education and interaction, as well as a window into the minds of the quintessential Indian youth. On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN). In 2008 we were honoured by the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), yet another international recognition for ‘Youth Audience Development’.

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
