पुस्तकं काय करतात?
पुस्तकं माणसाचे निरुपद्रवी मित्र. कधीच कोणाला टाळत नाहीत. स्वत:हून इतरांकडे जात नाहीत. मानवी मैत्रीत अंतर येणे शक्य आहे. पुस्तकं अंतर देत नाही. पुस्तकं निषेध करत नाहीत. मतभेदांवर वाद करत नाहीत. जे सांगायचं आहे ते सांगतात. नामानिराळी राहतात. 1/1

पुस्तकं काय करतात?
पुस्तकं आपली मतं इतरांवर लादत नाहीत. पुस्तकं प्रश्न निर्माण करतात. पुस्तकं उत्तरं देतात. पुस्तकं प्रश्न-उत्तराचा पाठशिवणीचा खेळ खेळतात. पुस्तकं महासत्ता तयार करतात. महासत्तेला सुरुंगही लावतात. पुस्तकं आव्हान देतात.आव्हानं स्वीकारतात. (1/2) #जागतिक_पुस्तक_दिन Image
पुस्तकं काय करतात?
पटले तर घ्या. नसेल तर सोडून द्या.इतका शांतपणा, संयमीपणा केवळ पुस्तकांमध्येच असू शकतो. म्हणून प्रत्येकाचा पुस्तक नावाचा एक मित्र असवा.जो दररोज प्रत्येकाच्या संपर्कात यावा. जेणेकरुन दररोज बदलणाऱ्या चेहऱ्याप्रमाणे स्वत: अमुलाग्र बदल होत जाईल. (1/3) Image

நான் எப்போதும் மோடி ஜி யை விமர்சிப்பவனாகவே இருந்து வருகிறேன்.

#WorldBookDay நாளில் அவரது படிப்பு பற்றி அதிகம் அறியப்படாத சில நல்ல விஷயங்களைப் பகிர்ந்து கொள்கிறேன்.

உங்களுக்கு தெரியுமா..!!!
மோடி இரண்டு முறை பிறந்தவர்

முதலில் ஆகஸ்ட் 29, 1949 (அவரது டிகிரி சான்றிதழில் உள்ளது) Image
இரண்டாவது செப்டம்பர் 17, 1950 (பொதுவாக அறியப்படுவது). 1950 ல் பிறந்த மோடி, 6 வயதில் வாட்நகர் ரயில் நிலையத்தில் தேநீர் விற்றார்,
ஆனால் அந்த காலக்கட்டத்தில் வாட்நகரில் வெறும் ரயில் தடங்கள் மட்டுமே இருந்தன. உண்மையான ரயில் நிலையம் 1973ல் கட்டப்பட்டது. அப்போது மோடிக்கு வயது 23.
மோடி எமர்ஜன்சி காலத்தில் மறைந்து வாழ்ந்து வந்தார், ஆனால் 1978 இல் டெல்லி பல்கலைக்கழகத்தில் பட்டம் பெற்றார்.

டெல்லி பல்கலைக்கழகத்தின் பட்டப்படிப்பு சான்றிதழ் இல்லாமலேயே 1983 இல் குஜராத் பல்கலைக்கழகத்தில் Entire political science முதுகலை பட்டம் படித்தார்.

இன்று #WorldBookDay

விரல் நுனியில் உலகைப் படித்துக் கொண்டிருப்போறே

புத்தக மேன்மை பற்றி
ட்விட்டரிலும்
பிற சமூக ஊடகங்களிலும், வாசிப்பு குறித்த கோட்களை கடந்து கொண்டிருப்பீர்கள்

புத்தக படிப்பிற்கு ஊக்கமூட்டிய சிலரை பார்ப்போம். முதலில் சிறுவர் புத்தகத்திலிருந்து ஆரம்பிப்போம் Image
பதின் பருவ குழந்தைகளுக்கு கிளர்ச்சியூட்டும் சாகசங்கள் நிறைந்த பேண்டஸி புக் Modi

Harry Patter போன்ற புத்தகங்கள் இங்கே வெளியாவதில்லை என்ற குறையை போக்குகிறது

அத்துடன் வாயால் வடை சுடுவது எப்படி போன்ற வாழ்க்கை தத்துவங்களும் உள்ளன

இதனை முழு மேக்கப்புடன் படித்தால் தான் புரியும் Image
புத்தக நேயராகவும் ஆராய்ச்சியாளராகவும் திகழ்பவர்

பெரிய புராணம் இயற்றிய சேக்கிழார் தான் கால எந்திரத்தில் பயணம் செய்து கம்பராமாயணத்தை எழுதிவிட்டு வந்தார் எனக் கண்டறிந்தவர்

போகி பெயரில் எரிந்திருக்க வேண்டிய இந்த இரு புத்தகங்களை
2k கிட்ஸ் தேடிப் படிக்க வழி வகுத்தார்

🧵We are getting ready to listen to @glosswitch talking to @soniasodha at @Womans_Place_UK online launch of #Hags #WPUKHags - very exciting!

#WomensHistoryMonth #readwomen #BookTwitter #IWD2023 #InternationalWomensDay #WorldBookDay #booktwt Image
Victoria @glosswitch is talking first about how she got the idea for #Hags and how 2020 was named the 'Year of the Karen' and it struck her that middle-aged women were being demonised #WPUKHags
She is also talking about #feminism in the 90s as a member of #GenerationX and how she had thought that her generation would be different to her mother's generation. But then realising that our feminist experiences are the same throughout #HERstory #WPUKHags

Whoever invented dressing up for world book day was not a working parent. I have SEWED a dress at 7am, found&lost again red hairband x 3, one autistic meltdown due to non matching top/bottoms and I feel about to have a stroke. #WorldBookDay
As a consumer of thousands of books I am a massive book fan and in fact #WorldBookDay is a lovely idea to raise awareness of reading, although I imagine that’s what schools do anyway? Reading?
Massive parental social media contest into who got the best outfit. Kids bewildered. Wonder if the creator of world book day got home from work at 10pm last night after 14 hours.

A little thread for #WorldBookDay. A year ago, as the Russian tanks rolled towards Kyiv, I took down a book I hadn't read for almost thirty years. 1/
The Miracle Game, by Czech writer Josef Skvorecky (pronounced SHKFO-rets-kee), deals with an apparent miracle in a Bohemian church as the Communists take power in Czechoslovakia in 1948. 2/
Is it a crude fake designed to discredit the church, as it appears to be at first? Or is it a real miracle? The book moves back and forth over the first quarter century of Communist rule in Czechoslovakia as Skvorecky's hero tries to solve the mystery. 3/

One of the oldest libraries in the world — Al-Qarawiyyin library, was founded by a Muslim woman more than 12 centuries ago! Libraries developed in the Islamic Golden Age due to a commitment to literacy & knowledge.

For #WorldBookDay a thread on libraries in Islamic history…
1/ Al-Qarawiyyan Library, Fez, Morocco
 
Founded by a Muslim woman, Fatima El-Fihriya in 859, it is one of the oldest libraries in the world & the oldest library in Africa. It also holds the distinction of being the world’s oldest working library, & is still in use today… Image credit Wikipedia
1.1/ The Al-Qarawiyyan Library houses a collection of 4,000 rare books & ancient Arabic manuscripts written by renowned scholars of the region. The manuscripts include a 9th century version of the Quran and a manuscript on Islamic jurisprudence written by philosopher Averroes Image credit Simply Morocco on Facebook

நேற்றைய #WorldBookDay #SpaceMarathon ரொம்ப அருமையா இருந்தது. நல்ல initiative. புத்தகத்தை படிக்க தானே செய்யணும் எதுக்கு அதை பற்றி பேசணும் அப்படினு சிலர் கேட்கலாம். புத்தகத்தை பற்றி இம்மாதிரி எல்லாம் பேசாமலே இருப்பதால் தான் இன்னிக்கு புத்தக வாசிப்பு ரொம்ப கம்மியாகிட்டே வருது.
முன்னாடி எல்லாம் இலக்கிய கூட்டம், இல்ல புத்தக கண்காட்சி ல ஒரு ஓரத்துல மேடைல ஒருத்தர் பேசுவார் கீழ நாலு பேரு உக்காந்து கேட்பாங்க. இலக்கிய கூட்டம்லயும் பெருசா ஆட்கள் இருக்கமாட்டாங்க. இருக்கறவங்களும் வயதான மக்கள் தான் இருப்பாங்க.
ஆனா இன்னிக்கு புத்தக வாசிப்பு அதிகமா ஆகி இருக்கு. இந்த வருடம் சென்னையில் மட்டும் 12 கோடிக்கு புத்தகங்கள் விற்பனை ஆகி இருக்கு அதற்கு காரணம் social media influence தான். நிறைய புத்தக வாசிப்பாளர்கள் நடுவுல கொஞ்சம் sleep mode க்கு போயிருப்பாங்க including me.

Remembering George Steiner on his birthday 🎂

"An intensity of outward attention — interest, curiosity, healthy obsession — was Steiner’s version of God’s grace."

Today is #WorldBookDay! It has often been said that there have been more books published on chess than all other sports combined. While this statement should be taken with a grain of salt, a fair estimation is that more than 100,000 chess books have been published.
The first comprehensive book dealing with chess was the Kitab ash-shatranj (Book of the chess), written in Arabic by Al-Adli ar Rumi around the year 850. The original is long lost, but we know of it through later works that preserved some of its texts and chess problems.
The "Book of Games" commissioned by Spanish King Alfonso X, contains the earliest European treatise on chess as well as being the oldest document on European tables games. It was finished in 1283, and it is kept in El Escorial, a few kilometres north of Madrid #WorldBookDay

Today is #WorldBookDay, so here’s a little thread to remind you why you should BEWARE OF BOOKS. Firstly, they take over your house. They climb up your hallway. Looming over you like they own the place. Image
Naturally they come swaggering into your study. Like they own the place. Image
Even when you try to go to bed, they follow you. The ones you’ve read. The ones you’re still reading. The ones you were supposed to be reading but haven’t yet read because some other books have come up to take their place. How dare they? They’re insatiable and SO demanding Image

Make reading should be a ticket anywhere.

For us, celebrating books is much more than just the literature itself. It’s the stories, the history and the communities. For #WorldBookDay, we’ve rounded up the places where the design has as much clout as the literary content. trib.al/aFQjKNY
1. The George Peabody Library is a decadent, light-filled research library of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. 🇺🇸 Image

Let's celebrate #WorldBookDay with a thread on highlights from wonderful book "The Psychology of Money" by @morganhousel #WorldBookDay2021
Behavior Matters

Genius who loses control of their emotions can be a financial disaster. The opposite is also true. Ordinary folks with no financial education can be wealthy if they have a handful of behavioral skills that have nothing to do with formal measures of intelligence.
Engineers can determine the cause of a bridge collapse because there’s agreement that if a certain amount of force is applied to a certain area, that area will break. Physics isn’t controversial. It's guided by laws....
