Nishant-
I don't think 250 WPM is that slow-
I was at about 300 before I took "speedreading" at my local school board a few years ago. In only 3 evenings of instruction, over the course of a week, I went up to 900 WPM for regular material, with good comprehension. (lower for technical and unfamiliar stuff, of course...)
Still it is hard to keep up with all the reading I must do at work, and life in general. 25000 WPM seems much more atractive to me, and especialy Direct Learning.
I have borrowed the PhotoReading book from the library, and just started playing around with it- but I don't get it yet. Given time, it will probably work for me, as I am open minded and trust the unconsious mind.
