X's got a big test tomorrow, but is he going to study? Nope! Why? Simple. 'Cause those videos on Youtube are not going to rate themselves, okay?

During our China visit, we stayed most of the time in Tianjin. It is a port city. Our seminar was about economical development for Bangladesh. So, we visited its free trade zone, special economic zone, scientific park etc. But, of course we  got chances to do shopping, eating outside and to roam around in some important places of this city.

In the very beginning most of the tress were barren. But after some days we enjoyed blossoms. Though not sure about their names. Some flowers were deep pink,

First off, don't hate me; I'm just a messenger. Second, how many times have you bought a famous brand name and kicked yourself for doing it? I'm not one to judge (I am, actually), but it seems like that some companies tend to decrease the quality of their products drastically the very moment they make sure that they won't end up like The Bluth Company! I could name a dozen real enterprises who failed miserably, but let's not go there. To add insult to injury, some companies don't even bother to

When the students are facing any academic challenge, they have an alternative to use the services of the experts in the field and gain high marks. Finance being a practical subject requires huge attention by the students as well as by the businessmen or anyone else. The Indian economy has suffered from a huge loss in the recent past because of the poor financial conditions as well as poor strategies adopted by the government. Finance is also a subject, which is used to keep a track of records, w

" There is no heart as big....as your smile, when u laugh, cry, or even when you are sad; fallen like a star, mad; looking upset from afar, or even glad, with your eyes sparkling like million flashes of brilliant light in the cold, and dark night. You might sometimes get jumpy like a little green frog, found jumping from one log to the next, never seeing our most common, middle ground. We may fight light cats, and dogs, but at the end of the day it wont matter who is right or wrong, because the

Sushant Rane is an artist who creates 3D drawings of everyday objects. He draws light bulbs, forks, spoons, cans, knives, you name it. It takes a day to finish one artwork. He works with Copic markers (whatever the heck they are) and graphite pencils.

Not bad, huh?

I was a little bit skeptical, you know? Then I watched this:

I want to tell you what measures you should take before going to china. Don't get me wrong. Of course, it is a nice country to visit. But I think we should know something.
1. First check out the weather forecast. Its northern part is colder than the southern part. So, if you are going to visit Beijing and near of it during winter or in the beginning of spring, please bring your winter clothing more.
2. Although it says spring begins from February but believe me it is cold and windy before April.

My dear firiends! Here I am again with five other expressions for you to guess. Again, you should replace a phrasal verb with a single word (that is neither a phrasal verb nor an idiom) without googling or looking up your dictionaries.

Undoubtedly, Bismarck contributed to a great extent to the unification of Germany. His diplomatic skills worked in favor of creating a united Germany. His greatness was in going with events so as to master them. Since 1848, several international situations favored Bismarck in uniting Germany. The decline of Austria after Metternich resigned in 1848 facilitated the unification of Germany since Austria was an obstacle to unification. Unification of Germany was a political movement which had histor

Two days ago I  got back from China. I went there to attend in a seminar. Yes, it was my official tour and we were 18 in number.

In the very beginning I was worried about the weather condition. You may understand, I am from a place where winter means cold country's fall! So, I kept googling and asking my known persons to get real weather forecast.

We started our journey in March, 5 to Guangzhou and then flew again to Beijing. We reached Beijing at 12.30 a.m. I felt really cold when I stepped out f

The title of the blog is written based on a quote of Benjamin Franklin who was a writer, a philosopher, a scientist, a politician, a patriot, a Founding Father, an inventor, and publisher.

The title is self-explanatory somehow, and gives you the idea of what the theme of this blog is about. Yes. The topic is about “procrastination”.

Admittedly, we all have done and still do procrastination. So, let’s put a spotlight on the reasons behind this phenomenon, and then speculate about the solutions to s

Learning homophones with wolves

about homophones by homophobe

Good day folks, first of all, what is homophone.

The word “homophone” is used to describe a word that sounds the same as another word, but that has a different meaning. It comes from the Greek words “homo”, meaning “same”, and “phone”, meaning “sound”. The two (or more) words may be spelled differently, but just to make life difficult, they can also be spelled the same.

It is easy to distinguish them when you read or write, but is very di

I love you so much.
Please never doubt this is true.
But I'm having such
A hard time with you.
You want me to tell, 
But there are reasons why I must stay quiet.
It puts me through hell
That I live with this secret.
I know it makes you feel like I don't care,
But I promise that's not true.
I love you, but I do not dare
To tell mom and dad about you.

IDEA OF HAPPINESS: 

Idea of happiness depends upon what a person has at the very specific moment.  A person may think that without wealth there would be no happiness, so he would try to get more and more wealth.  But if he be contended and have satisfaction with what he has, there is happiness in it.
