YOUNG WORLD

                                             

                                                       YOUNG WORLD FROM THE HINDU

                                   

One day Evana came to me. She requested me to subscribe to YOUNG WORLD from The Hindu. I said I would do that if she would read that.She was firm. She said she would read. 

I asked her how she came to know of YOUNG WORLD. She replied she had seen  that in the hands of Sreya while  travelling in the school bus.

I rang up Suresh, the Advocate cum our newspaper Agent. It happened last Tuesday. Suresh said Hindu supplies as per prior orders only. He said it comes on Fridays @ 20 Rupees per copy. I replied it was ok. But he said he would try to deliver that from the succeeding Friday itself. I conveyed it to Evana. She was thrilled. But when Friday dawned she came to me and complained YOUNG WORLD hadn't arrived. I replied it might come from next Friday onwards

The surprise was YOUNG WORLD of 16th Jan26 arrived with the newspaper of 19thMonday

I can see Evana happily delving into what she really wanted after she woke up in the morning.

Yes, in these days of social media and TV it's very difficult to wean children away from them.

Just as letting them have a go at them, it'll be good if we could put them on to reading as well.

What they gain from reading will have no parallels
