Task to accomplish for Reading:

1. Build a habit to read any type of articles from Stone history of Mesolithic
Time to Credit card of modern world.

Digest [This magazine is available at Nilkhet]
3. Comprehend detail explanation of at least 50 RC (many RCs I have done,
partially HSA http://vimeo.com/67168906 )
4. Read obnoxious articles! (Do not attempt to answer. Just learn the content.

5. Watch complex movie like Inception, Shutter Island, and Matrix with

6. Keep story books or small size article to your pocket bag.

Note: Learn driving first, then try for high speed.
