Effective reading should be followed by thinking which leads to develop one’s creativity, said Gireesh Puliyoor, poet and children’s writer. He was inaugurating the Reader’s Club activities for the new academic session at Kendriya Vidyalaya Pattom on 10 August 2011. He cited the examples of prophet Muhammad and ancient Indian munis/seers who gave utmost importance to reading and knowledge seeking.
