Follow some leaders

Hi All!

I thought I will share with you some of those sites that I visit frequently.



www.nytimes.com This as you guessed right, is the site of The New York Times. I got into the habit of reading this paper when I lived abroad. In print it is a very thick and heavy paper and on cold Sundays it is a treat to read your paper and a big cup of hot coffee. Of course, some of the writers are very good and the columnists have their own unique style. The topics cover a wide range from the expected ones on local and world news, there are interesting features on science and education. Sometimes, there are articles on topics that you would never would think as being a topic for an international newspaper. One article I remember well was about the difficulty of getting your home appliances repaired if you lived on a remote island.

I also find that the paper has adapted well to the net format, and the net version adds value by providing clips and visuals that are better than the print version.

A good paper to follow to improve American English as well as keeping up to date on points of general interest.

The Times of India

I am not particularly a fan of the print version of this paper, but the epaper is very functional. It provides me the ability to scan through items of interest and also gives me multi city editions.
For me it is a big time saver. I don't have too much to complain about the language except that some of their articles do tend to be lengthy. Their coverage is very comprehensive.

This is a good paper to scan for the important events of the day in the country.


www.zenhabits.net

This is a good productivity and life coaching site, though written from the American perspective.
What I like about this site is that the author is honest and authentic about his own life. He writes about things that he has tried himself. He has written about finding himself in deep trouble financially and physically and then rebuilding his life from there. I find that there is a soothing quality to the layout and the writing. Do search the archives for tips on handling emails, working to reach your goals etc.


What has these to do with communication you ask?

Good question.

These 3 sites represent different kinds of written communication. Keeping up with them will surely improve our language.

The content of these 3 sites are helpful as is. Use them to stay informed or to better your life.

They help me, and I thought they might help you.

Try it and let me know. :)

See you next week!
