How do we get our children to read ?

Salman, SRK to host Breaking News on Television.
I won’t be surprised if the next big development on television news comes with channels signing on ageing Bollywood stars as news anchors. In any case designer wear trotting, loud & acoustically unfriendly reporters have already started making their presence felt. Serious discussions happen in the fish market of news channel studios.
