This blog is primarily for media aspirants as well as young journalists. My aim is to provide links to articles that will enhance their understanding of the media and help them to improve their writing skills, broaden their horizons, and expand their worldview. My hope is that The Reading Room will also help them to become good media professionals.

Why is Plato known as Aflatoon in the subcontinent?
Mint columnist Aakar Patel gives us the lowdown in this erudite, fact-filled, and interestingly written piece.
Aakar Patel, former editor of Mumbai's Mid Day, is now the director of Hill Road Media. His column in Mint, "Reply To All" touches upon the most unusual topics. On March 25, he explained why Indians are too self-absorbed to be team players; on January 21, he must have sparked a myriad classroom, boardroom, and cocktail party conversations with his analysis of why women are turned on by power, men by beauty. Bookmark his column and read it regularly.
