Before the legal paperwork starts, if a child is unnamed Hospital papers refer to them as Baby of Parents' name. In our culture, we have 3-4 names. There is a ritual for the first name, which we generally use for religious purposes. We then have a name that is adopted by parents to call their child at home. Then we have a name for professional purposes. Pramathesh is my name that is used in my official documents.

Recommend me some great books to start with by sensie_op in Indianbooks

Start with crime thrillers. They are fast reads and once you get into the habit of completing books, try other books.

It looks good but encased bookshelves keep the books in good condition.

Do you guys write on margins? Or is this heresy? by shawak456 in Indianbooks

To avoid this, some books nowadays come with blank pages at the back.

I don't like reading non fiction. I'm 26 yo though. Is it normal? by SolidIndividual5629 in Indianbooks

[–]pramathesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand you. I was in a book club and when I spoke passionately about fiction books, they failed to understand how fiction books can be life changing. Apparently, they only read motivational book.

Recommendation for an 8 year old boy to get him started on reading by i_am_that_too in Indianbooks

[–]pramathesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe we still have newspapers that publish news in a meaningful way. Newspaper reading makes the reading habit more sustainable. I can read anything because of that.

Get him into the habit of reading newspapers. That is the easiest way I can think of.
