Under interactive guidance of Producer Hatim Abdul Salaam, I was interviewed Live on Tuesday 21st January 2014 from 7 pm to 8 pm with a five minutes break in between. It was Family Programme under the title of Embedding The Habit of Reading For The Youth.

The feedbacks were mainly all positive with one commentator (lady expatriate) commenting it was one of the best programmes she had listened to in a very long time. She is a regular listener to the programmes in FM Oman Radio.

After a brief introduction on myself and how I got into my hobby and passion of writing since 14 years of age, we went deep into the subject.

Areas of Coverage

• How I became very much interested in reading and writing as a young boy of 14 years of age.
• My first essay My Most Vivid Dream won a National Award in Tanzania in 19605
• Author of 10 books – 2 in Arab Management – 2 in Road Safety Awareness and 6 others based on my columns in The Oman Daily Observer since 2003
• Worked in Human Resources for 25 years in PDO and as Management Consultant for 12 years after Early Retirement in PDO and after my Management Consultancy firm had to close down for financial loss reasons
• Have always liked writing – from School Magazines, Colleges, PDO, Other Places – and early days in Times of Oman with 2 main articles on Omanisation and Road Traffic issues in Oman
• Moved to Oman Daily Observer as a Columnist (part time) since March 2003.

Sequences Topics of The Interviews

• Why to encourage writing and the benefits and advantages of writing
• Even our Great Prophet PBUH was told `Read’ ‘ – in the Holy Quran – and the advent and start of Islam! See here – Read! In the name of your Lord and Cherisher – Sura 96 – Al Alaq – The Clinging Clot.
• Travel as far as to China to gain knowledge! – Islamic Hadith
• How we can encourage more reading especially starting with the young children first
• The negative effects of Not Writing!
• Issues in Writing and Reading – and possible solutions
• Why more support, encouragement and assistance is required – and not to look at the issues narrow minded by looking at it in money terms and profits only!
• Diverge into English and not concentrate only in Arabic
• Enlarge the scope of support to not only (fine) arts but also in writing and reading
• Giving more attention and in valuing more our own Writers, Authors and Columnists
• Move from only currently looking at outside country (Foreigners) and in concentrating in picture books, poems, cook books, subject topics etc – especially if written and compiled by Foreigners
• Serious Reading and books that ‘make you think’ need more emphasis and support
• Encouragement by small incentives for children reading in the family by family themselves – and things like making Home Library – even if start with few books first
• Others related

Sayings
