As part of our grading in the subject Presentation Skills, I had to deliver a 3-minute speech to a class of faces bored with speeches on economic recession, financial reform and the like. I chose to speak on a topic dear to me, and gave a persuasive speech on how reading, though a conventionally unpopular (especially given my age) hobby is a brilliant one. I spoke about how my grandfather inculcated a lifelong love for books in me. I prepared a short Powerpoint presentation that played in the background that elicited a variety of 'awww's and 'so sweeeeeet's. I shared the story due to my firm belief that stories have a more lasting impact than statistics and pedantic facts.
I've put up the slides here. Do take a look. :)

Stumbled upon your blog a month ago. I read through a fair deal of this blog. You are a natural writer, as is evident from the content. I regret the fact that I didn't have anyone as your grandfather to instill the love for books in me.
Been quite scratchy as far reading goes. Slightly jealous too. :)

i love the concept but why the title???
Thanks, Rikta :)
Well, the story behind the title is simple enough. It's my perspective at the age of 18, on my grand-dad who is now running 80.
:)
well, that did cross my mind. i couldn't help thinking that 80 could be the number of books u've read so far - although i wont be surprised if its touched a 100 or more
Not that I keep count, but I get the feeling I might have crossed the 100 book mark! :D
awesome reader that you are!!!!and wher DO u manage to get the pictures for your blog??? they are brilliant!!!
I guess i'm late to join in...
yes we r jealous f u having ur grandpa inculcating the literature love..
Again,we r thankful that u r one f his beautiful creations :)
woah! this was something...great composition indeed...i fell in love with reading coz of my dad :)
