To be honest, they are quite outdated and no more interesting. IF you have seen Geronimo Stilton books and other illustrated books for children, you will see for yourself.
But the culture and values they represent is not outdated. Otherwise children will grow without knowledge of Indian culture in their impressionable years. However the choice is yours. Mine was a suggestion in good faith.

Honestly speaking I am not a great novel reader. I love to read articles, short stories and poems. My 14 year old son is a voracious reader and I have noticed that he is fond of Amish Tripathy whose genre is mythology. As we all know, presently, Chetan Bhagat is a very popular novelist who writes in a very casual English. Those who love the English language, they are not fond of Bhagat's English.
I want to read Amish Tripathy's Shiva trilogy books, I have heard that they are quite good. I am very much surprised and pleased to know that your 14-year-old son has reached the stage where he is reading those books, as some of the adults have found it a little hard to understand them. I personally too am not really fond of Chetan Bhagat's style of writing, although his ideas behind each of his books are good.
Kalyani, His school and being parents we encouraged him to read books and now, he is a bookworm. He has finished series after series of many authors. He is extremely fond of Greek and Roman mythologies. Amish Tripathy's Scion of Ikshivaku is another favourite of his other than the Shiva Triology. Well, books of Chetan Bhagat, I personally feel is not of his age and even he shows no interest in reading his books. He loves to read detective books also such as Sherlock Homes, Agatha Christie and translated works of Satyajit Ray.
THat is really great Shampa! Nowadays most parents complain their children don't read books but they themselves don't take much efforts to inculcate reading habits in the children. LIke you, I too have encouraged and motivated my son a great deal and at 8, he is already reading more books than a 10-year-old kid. Just yesterday, we got his report card and teh teacher's remark says it all, "Adroit Arnav is a voracious reader and an ocean of knowledge at such a young age" My day was made simply reading that!
Right now, he is reading more of Asterix and Obelix and has become a great fan of Julius Caesar and reads up on everything he can find out about him. Do recommend me some good books on Roman and Greek mythology since your son is reading those books. I am sure its a good sign yor son is refusing to read Chetan Bhagat books, no offense intended to Chetan Bhagat fans of course, it is my personal opinion. You should now introduce him to classics such as Jules Vernes adventures, he will love them!
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. He reads classics too but he has not read the one you suggested. My son is popular in school because of his reading habit and his librarians too try to give him books even on the days when it's not his turn. Now, he is in school so later I will let you know the names of the books you wanted to know.
Though reading habit is good, it becomes a problem when the child fails to restrain himself for his regular studies. I have to always restrict him because he fails to control his temptation of reading storybooks.
True Shampa, restraint from reading books when they should be playing or doing some other thing does become a problem at times, but can be dealt with by remaining firm and insisting on some proper play time and study time etc.
I am sure he will love Jules Verne adventures, you may have heard of them such as Around the World in Eighty Days, Journey to the Centre of the Earth etc. which have also been adapted rather nicely into films.
Kalyani, I conveyed your suggestion to my son and the response I received from him is that he is in search of those books but they are not available in his school library. So, I have to arrange them for him. He loves to read Shakespeare as well as Roald Dahl. Well, he has read the abridged version of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey in prose form. As you wanted to know the names of some books, my son told me about the Percy Jackson books based on Greek mythology written by Rick Riordan.
Ah yes, Percy Jackson series, my son has been asking me for those books but I was not sure until now whether he would be able to understand them at his age. A couple of his older friends have read them and so my son is asking for them. I suggest you buy Jules Verne books, they are worth collecting for ever. If he is interested in animals, you could also get him a few of Gerald Durrell books such as 'My Family and Animals', "The Corfu Trilogy" etc. They are extremely delightful and funny, a chronicle of his days of growing up with his large family and the ever-expanding collection of animals in his family he and others kept bringing home. Really humorous and funny, you would enjoy those books too.
Yes, I will definitely buy Jules Verne books during this summer vacation. I will ask my son to check the books of Gerald Durrell if he is interested or not. Thanks for all the suggestion. Though I am not at all into reading storybooks, I have started reading The Complete Adventures of Feluda by Satyajit Ray. I am enjoying it. If your son loves detective stories then he will like it too. You can check it on the web to have its feel.

Obviously if he does nothing he will go the Congress way.
It is very true, because of wrong priorities, Congress committed mistakes which are innumerable in number. Of course, after independence, Congress was in such a hurry to build a Nation, neither the Nation Building nor any other such activities could be done in full. It goes without saying, during this process, The Sports sphere suffered a lot. Now with the advent of Modi Government, hopes are cropping up to rectify the faults committed by the Congress. Else, BJP too will be shown the exit by the people who made the BJP as the country's ruler role. None can survive the wrath of the people.

rambabu replied to the topic Parents role in shaping a Child's behaviour.
While it is true that Parents play a vital role in shaping up a child's behaviour, it is essential to take certain important steps to ensure a right behaviour in their kids. Children learn a lot from their Parents. So this is the first aspect to be given utmost importance. Other aspects are, parents should learn to appreciate the good things in the kid and adjust with their shortcomings. At the same time giving responsibilities, frequent communication with the child are equally important.

Thank you Kalyani for your thought provoking information on Water Storage system even in Historical times. This has reminded me of the impeccable water storage system through pipes made out of Clay in Golkonda fort. Even in the fierce and continuous Mughal attacks, people living in the interiors of Township in Golkonda Fort, never felt the water scarcity. This shows the sincerity of the Kutab Shahis to provide a strong structure for the welfare measures to the people.
That vision and the thought of welfare of their people was present in almost all the yesteryears princes and rulers, visit any fort in India, whether in Maharashtra or Karnataka or TN or faraway Rajasthan, you will see ancient, but very cleverly designed and efficient water storage and distribution systems. Even if those systems were revived and kept functional now in addition to modern ones, even the remotest villages would get enough water and never have to face drought. Yes but there are other equally preventive measures also that needs to be taken, eg. reduce the use of concrete in open areas and restrict its usage only to the very essential needs.
Ecologically safe Engineering marvels of water conservation have existed in India for nearly1500 years including traditional systems of Water harvesting such as Bawari, Jhalara, nadi, tanka and Khadin. Even today these systems remain viable and cost effective alternatives to rejuvenate depleted groundwater aquifiers according to experts. One such example is Grasen Ki Baoli in Delhi, build in Pre-Lodhi era of 14th century by Raja Agrasen to collect rainwater during monsoon can be emulated.

The main reason for the refusal of a child to go to school is, the child, after a period of caring, the child fears to leave that cozy atmosphere. It's a natural phenomenon. Now after the introduction of Play Schools concept in the Educational system, this fear in the children almost disappeared. My own Grand child, who started her schooling recently never refuses to go to School. Some times, she even talks even during sleeping about her playmates in the School. Play Schools are doing a good job in this regard.
