Changing reading habits among college going students

Relationship between reading and man is of age since 1st human being on earth.history is evident that peoples use to write and read on the piece of cloths , leaves, and sometime on the rock pieces for sake of communication . as the human being started to get more and more developed he used to write on the pages made from page tree , pages became more accurate ,reliable ,easily maintainable ,convenient to carry from one place to another . peoples developed ideas and made them to store for future and others use.

like wise authors done the same thing and present their knowledge to the students via books and we students use to read that book and get acknowledged with the contents written in the book.

Now let me come on the point of our theme i;e CHANGING READING HABITS AMONG COLLEGE GOING STUDENTS.

everyone is well versed that students use to carry the books from school/college to home and vice versa . people use to place the books in the lap while walking or keeping the book in the hand with "high level of handle with care" . students use to surf a major chunk of time in libraries for reading the books ,students and Books was of integral bond. students use to build library in their homes and maintain g the library more than their own selves, passing the book to other friends (when they require) ,highlighting the perceived important point in the book , Binding the books with binding covers or with the obsolete calenders  student used to enjoy the book forever . students used to say that i have a forever and never ending friend (book) with me. students use to carry those books with love and care from home to college in the bags full of sprinkled scent . the book was giving student an inspiration to study and student's parents a new hope every time when they used to find their child studying .  student might forgot to eat food but not to keep the book in a good and safe place . in the intial phase of every class teacher use to say " Book kis kis k pass ha" and when student having the book he/she was picking his/her hand above the all ( due to happiness)      .

 But now the whole system is changing students use the virtual form of contents every where i mean using internet to study what ever they want and where ever they want . which some times makes them to be in fuss and loss. students use to study in libraries and at home , but now students have applied the phrase of " walk and read " in their habits . maximum of college going students are using internet to gain the contents , students are not interested to visit library now ,students are not willing to buy a book from market because they say " yaar ! kis liye book Laney ha ..internet jo ha" . in time of books students mark specify time from their schedule to read books .,but now we see their is no such thing in the schedule of today's student .. where ever he feels he require any thing he get that in one click. 

Saying sincerely this change in habit made we students more reliable on technology and linnet. Vision defects, inversion of bad habit , loosing charm & fragrances of those books , being more dependent , victims of faulty contents etc , lost our enthusiasm for reading.

    Imam ali ibn-e- abutalib(the cousin and son in law of profet muhammad(S))a.said
    "A person who keeps himself occupied with books will never lose his peace of mind".
