World Book and Copyright Day 2022

-

Books are our best friends. Seems familier, right? Many of us are book reader and love reading. World Book and Copyright Day is a celebration to promote the enjoyment of books and reading. Each year, on 23 April, celebrations take place all over the world to recognize the scope of books - a link between the past and the future, a bridge between generations and across cultures.

It was first celebrated on April 23rd, 1995. The original idea was conceived in 1922 by Spanish writer Vicente Clavel Andrés as a way to honour the author Miguel de Cervantes. It was first celebrated on 7 October 1926, Cervantes' birthday, before being moved to his death date, 23 April, in 1930. 23 April is a symbolic date in world literature. It is the date on which several prominent authors, William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died. 


World book day's celebration mission is to promote reading for pleasure, offering every child and young person the opportunity to have a book of their own. Reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success – more than their family circumstances, their parents’ educational background or their income.


Some people like to read the biographies of the most influential people in history, like Martin Luther King or Mahatma Ghandi. Some people like novels that send chills down their spines, from goth horror novels like Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” to Stephen King’s epistolary novel, “Carrie”. Some prefer the classics, like “Pride and Prejudice” or the “Old Man and the Sea”. Books are more than simple pieces of paper with words on them (or, in the case of digital books, a bunch of pixels on a screen). They’re a door into another world, whether that’s one full of fiction and imagination or a factual world that teaches you incredible new things. World Book Day is all about celebrating the wonderful power of books and the joy of reading. It’s especially meant to help encourage a love of reading in children, but people of all ages can recognize and celebrate the day. But regardless of the kind of books you like the most, the indisputable truth is that the world would not be the same without books. Books have been educating and inspiring us for thousands of years, so it should go without saying that World Book Day is a more than a well-deserved holiday


Nations around the globe organize various events like lectures, discussions, seminars, exhibitions to celebrate World Book Day. Passionate book lovers can celebrate World Book Day in a number of ways, and spread the positive ways reading can affect your life. It’s the day when you can put some thought into how to encourage others to read more too, especially if you’re a parent or you work with students. You can read a favorite book and even read it out loud to children, young people, or perhaps some older people who would appreciate someone reading to them. Every year it is being hosted by various countries. The first book day was hosted by UK and Ireland in 1997. This year Canada is hosting the World Book day and the theme for this year is "You are a Reader" to motivate people and make them understand the value of reading.


Genuinely, Good books are not less than a virtue for us. We should adopt book reading atleast 5 pages a day in our day routine. It calms our mind and boosts creativity. So dear reader, Happy World Book Day 2022.


Did you know-1.  India's Holy Book "Ramayana" is the national book of Thailand by its name "Ramkeen".

‘National Brothers Day’

Every year 24th May is observed as ‘National Brothers Day’ since 2005. Brother is not a single word but it defines a feeling. When it’s brother’s day so we can call our brothers and tell them how much we love them and how weird they are as we always do-:) The word ‘Brother’ stems from German word ‘Brothar’ which itself comes from European root ‘Bhrater’ and also some people claim it to be taken from ancient Hindi word ‘Bhrata’ which means Brother. But according to me brothers are the once who bother us. When you are younger than your brother then you can enjoy annoying them and when you’re Elder brother then you can order them using your powers. Brotherhood is very strong among men whether it is blood relation or not, men take their ‘bro code’ very seriously. There isn’t much that important that can ever come between a strong brotherhood bond. They’re our closest friend sometimes the most annoying person we know but we love them anyway. If you’re blessed with a brother then this is the...
