I am sharing a link which tries to explain the same.

I don't think many people will read...Dear Sir,<br /><br />I don't think many people will read your blog, even if you link it with your Facebook Page. For most people,nothing but a heated debate on Messi and Ronaldo, and few stupid memes thrills them. A enthusiastic reader would have found out by now that you write regularly in your blog.<br /><br />And about reading books. Recently, I saw on CNN News 18 that a 'reputed,highly educated' teacher was asked to say something about Republic Day. The teacher said,'On this Pandit Nehru wrote our Constitution'!<br /><br />With regards,<br />Aveek. <br /><br />Aveek Mukherjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212657213297729825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30819742.post-34202016986016024532018-02-03T10:47:51.883+05:302018-02-03T10:47:51.883+05:30Sir,

After reading your this post i tried opening this blog in phone and observed these. I have no facebook account but when i tried to access 'Suvro Sir Facebook' in google it asks me to login through my facebook account can you please tell me how can i access it directly. <br />You told that some of your post had recently came into the most-read list but why this has happened i am curious about the reason<br /><br />Hope you are well<br /><br />Yours sincerly<br />Siddhartha Siddhartha Palhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04720883662713093809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30819742.post-23981684431165775222018-02-01T15:32:34.291+05:302018-02-01T15:32:34.291+05:30Dear Suvro'da,
You are so very right in poin...Dear Suvro'da, <br /><br />You are so very right in pointing out the malady of majority of today's folks in being prompt to read a short article on their handheld devices, but when it comes to typing a short response or comment, falling prey to laziness or procrastination. I sincerely hope that those who read this blog-post of yours do shake themselves up! <br /><br />Your remarks on the declining reading habit of today's generation, rings in well with my own observation, having spoken to many readers around. An interesting discussion is that people will often say that they like to read a book in it's "printed form" and not the e-book version, and you may almost be convinced by the reasons they cite: "I enjoy the feel of holding the paperback, e-readers do not give me the feel of a book, it is harmful to the eyes," and the likes.. But you will hardly see these very people with either a paperback or an e-book in hand ! I have had such conversations with people in airports, on trains, on holidays, which by far are considered to be the most relaxed time to read a book! <br /><br />You bet, whenever I had spoken to someone about my own books (call it a bit of self-attempted marketing, if you will!) I have always met with lot of keen interest showed by the other person. But majority of them will never try out reading a 'new author' (if I may call myself one), at the cost of spending two hundred rupees for either the paperback or the e-book! Better still, those to whom I had gifted a copy, many of them never came back with a word of feedback or comment, or simply to say "I read your book"! So much for our current crop of young readers!<br /><br />Yet I am surprised when I talk to some of the publishers and almost fall for the optimism shown by them, even the grade B and C level of publishers. However, if you notice closely, you will see why publishers dissuade the author from traditional publishing and push for self-publishing today? Make the buck from the author, get the book out on the online platforms, print as per demand and scoot off with the money made... that's the business! Leave the author and the reader to find each other and connect to tell the story.<br /><br />I sincerely hope that there is a turn in the tide soon and we see more people genuinely reading. As a writer, I will not mind giving my book for free to someone who genuine will read my story.<br /><br />Regards,<br />SayanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853230186417753627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30819742.post-18916515952690447312018-01-31T20:05:32.464+05:302018-01-31T20:05:32.464+05:30Practice with reading and writing, Subhanjan, more...Practice with reading and writing, Subhanjan, more than forty years of non-stop practice, what else?

How can someone learn the craft of really good quality writing in any language for that matter? And by good quality, I mean the kind of writing which has a flow of reasoning that is superbly structured together in simple words. <br /><br />Thanks and Regards,<br />SubhanjanSubhanjan Senguptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10447346907885975431noreply@blogger.com
