    My reading skill overtakes writing skill.

    During covid period of lock down I have joined a group in FB of my college old students and through one of my class mate's page i got an opportunity to visit a famous Tamil writer's page and from there I got other pages of writers recommendation by FB. i have read Tamil magazines from my 8th std to 10th std and in that the famous writers stories and afterwards my journey of reading Tamil magazines is stopped and turned towards academic reading only. Since i got back to those writers pages again I have started reading their stories digitally as that was the time every paperback has modified to digital version of some form. so that has stopped my writing and spent time only in reading. After say two years, in 2022 I have again come to writing but still I feel it is not like before and reading has taken the first place I believe

    In many cases, it will be the situation. To write something you should have some information and knowledge. This information and knowledge can be acquired by reading books or journals or hearing somebody. So we all should read more. Then only we can write.
    Writing is a skill and all can't write in a similar fashion. The usefulness of the writing will depend on the capabilities of the writer. As far as I am concerned, I read more than what I write. Reading only helps me to get some new knowledge in various fields and keeps me in touch with the latest developments and changes in the areas of working interests. Readings will help us update our knowledge and we will understand the developments and changes taken place in the areas of our interest. We should hear more and read more. Then only we may be acquiring the latest knowledge.

    Reading is a great hobby and it can develop tremendously during the dull period when there is no activity in our lives. Covid was a time when many people resorted to either reading or watching TV for long hours.
    Writing is another form of hobby and that generally follows the long time of reading activities. Many people believe that reading is the precursor to writing. It could be true in many cases.
    Today given a choice I will like to read rather then writing but due to the challenges and thrill in writing I persuade myself to do less reading and go for more writing. I am successful in that to quite good extent but I give full credit of my writing to my earlier reading sessions.

    Knowledge is power.
