Reading is my best hobby and I always try to learn something new. I remember those days when I was a kid, and reading was one of my major activities. I used to read a lot. My Father has a small library. I read almost 600 books in just three years in my Father’s collection, when I was about 14 year old. Even in this reading I lost my eyesight to -200. My Father has a collection of Islamic books. So in my childhood I completely read about Islamic studies.
When I grew up and I got a smartphone for the first time, I decided to read and learn through digital platforms. And on my phone I followed and subscribed to learning content and study material. And I learned a lot through my smartphone. Along with digital learning, reading books was still my favorite hobby, so now this time I choose international best sellers. And in this period, I studied both fiction and non-fiction. I explored a lot of the world through my reading and also I got addicted to new learning. It was my addiction to learning more and more. I used to read informational content. And now as I am 19 year old, I have studied about 3000 books of both fiction and non-fiction.
