We spent the whole day together - having lunch and later, went to a friend's farm-house. We chatted, sang and had fun.&#160;&#160;</div><br /><div>Later, I waited for days to get the review of my Book. I distributed more books to other friends, relatives and well wishers. Finally, patience is a virtue. Some of them gave me verbal reviews whereas some of them actually wrote down or circulated word of mouth about my being a great writer and publishing a great book.

However, I would love to write on Poetry or a Romance Story; Maybe, write Grammar Fun - Stories for kids and Comprehensions. Who Says, dreams never turn true? As I get some breathing space, I may pen down slowly but gradually.

                          <![CDATA[<div>One of the most Educational snag in my hometown schools is 'Lack of reading Habits' - Ask Teachers, Parents or Children and almost, Reading is on the back-seat. Most of the children hardly read the text lessons and have no time for extra reads as they are over-burden with homework hassles and project work. Words remain bookish and some children can hardly read story books. Ask them to write a review, they fail or ask them to narrate - And the answer comes quick, &quot;I can't.&quot; </div><br /><div>Well, if the Educators and parents overlook the problems, it becomes a stumbling block in the development of a child at a later stage. </div><br /><div>In my Book, Guardian of Angels, you find an article on 'How to Encourage Kids for Reading' and maybe the ideas work wonders to motivate and encourage children for reading. For a quick glance, you can&#160;read an article here on my Newspaper for Kids Website, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html/ref=cm_plog_item_link/175-7718525-3030254?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kidsfreesouls.com%2Freading.htm&token=AEB0029FCD95FF1A9FF7F003A7DEC24B4486B438"  target="_blank">Kidsfreesouls</a>. </div><br /><div>Reading together is Fun. Make Reading a habit for yourself and your loved ones. Amazon provides ample space to read too and buy book! Enjoy! </div>]]>

                          <![CDATA[Stage fright or performance anxiety is something that is very common among all of us and even children.
