‘Reading is screen-free and creates a digital detox’

Soha says, “I enjoy reading to Inaaya. I think I like the sound of her voice, first and foremost and it’s our intimate time at the end of the day when it’s just her and I.

‘Inaaya has a huge library, which now spills out of her bedroom’
While her younger child brings books from the school library, Soha says she has a large collection of books at home too. “Anya has quite a large library that now opens out of her bedroom. So, there are bookshelves in her room now and it’s on our staircase now too. Some of the books that are out of print, she’s kept them because They have good memories. Some old books we recycle or donate. This way it is good that we get a chance to share books,” says Soha.
Of course, there are some favorites. “She likes the Thea Stilton and Eva Wingdale series as well as Ruskin Bond and other short stories,” Soha said. “How the Onion Got Its Layers” by Sudha Murthy and “The Grand Chapati Contest” by author Asha Nehemia are some of her favourites. Some of them are more visual, so she’s attracted to the covers or the pictures.”
