I love to answer these kind of questions, because makes you imagine how uplifting is to travel. You know, it's like you've already had been there, that is, in your imagination you do have been to the places you wish before. We can even visualize the trip tour we co

Have you ever wondered what are you going to do with a heap of garbage that is staring at you? Certainly they are going to pay a little visit to the trash can. But there is another way. Reuse them! You heard me, this way, you can do the mother nature a huge solid. I am not going to bore you with statistics here and say how many used bottles are thrown out every minute, or how many plastic bags are scattered in the wilderness after a lovely camping, or...I think you got the picture. That is not m

This little boy is giving us an important life lesson:

"To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting." ~ e. e. cummings

It was not a long journey for me as it was for you, nevertheless I enjoyed accompanying you. You told me about your childhood herding sheep and playing with other boys. As you grew older you realized that there was a difference between you and the people whom you called ‘white people’. One of these white families helped you to go to school; when you didn’t accept the pre-arranged marriage your difficulties began. Despite all obstacles you became a lawyer. Now you could see all the disparities to

Hello my friends,

what about to take another Writing Challenge? Let's make ourself smarter in kind of an interesting way because I am coming up with my this awesome idea :-) You might know, where your friends, you met here come from and where the country is situated in the map.. but what about to get to know something more about their country?

I think, it would be great to share, what your country is famous for. Be it something traditional or something you would surprise others with, just try to w

How many times have you bumped into colorful, weird looking drawings that do not make any sense at the first glance while crossing a street? Honestly, I can't remember. I don't mean those giant words that are either the name of a band or a curse word. I mean real art. 

The society calls it graffiti and those who are into this kind of stuff are labeled as vandalists. I neither confirm nor condemn their work. The point is some of these so-called graffitis belong in a museum. If authorities or city

This world is a stage upon which the drama of life is played by men and women. It is a very interesting drama. That is why nobody, however, miserable, likes to leave this world. This drama is so gripping because the scenes are changing every minute. Light changes into darkness; childhood changes into old age; life changes into death; dry seeds change into lovely tall trees and rosy lips and cheeks change into wrinkled faces. Change or variety is a part of life. In fact, it is variety only that a

Those belonging to soul

Relations are in our lives whether of blood, of friendship, or of humanity, but without these relations, our life implicitly happens to be incomplete. These days, the houses of the people are becoming big and wide, but the hearts smaller. In past, the hearts were big and houses were small and people were seemed performing every relation kind-heartedly and with firm-will. It is said, "Mans of eyes sees only the front, whereas cautious and conscious man the entire world. The

In the autumn of life, when everything has been said,

All hopes and expectations are all but not yet dead,

Misty memories are all there is left to cling to,

With alzheimer  knocking at the door too,

The echo of  days long past,

Flood the failing mind,

Oh, how very fast,

Nothing to find!

And yet,

  In still warm cinder,

One may still be able to get,

Something worth the trouble to concider,

Something to forget, many to cherish, more to regret,

For not always is the sea placid, sometimes it poses a threat.

Is my cat laying or lying sideways on the ground?

The verbs lay and lie have been confusing English learners around the world for hundred of years! Their irregular forms make them even more troublesome. They're also common pet peeves even to people with PhDs. So on this blog, I'll tackle this topic with simplicity for the sake of our fellow learners of the club.

When we consider which animals are clever, what do we think of ? Should we compare the brain weight of animals ? That would mean whales are the most clever, but that is wrong, isn't it?　And so there is an interesting index, which measures the rate of brain weight to body weight. It is called the encephalization quotient.
If a cat is 1 in this index, then a human is 7.6, a dolphin is 5.3, a chimpanzee is 2.4, a whale is 1.8, a fox is 1.6, a gorilla is 1.3, an elephant is 1.3, a crow is 1.3, a dog

The Story of the Tiny Frogs

There was once a bunch of tiny frogs, who arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants.

Hello little EC birds!

Have you ever felt like a stranger?
I guess the answer is: "yeah, sure!", because we all have been newcomers on any occasion: The 1st day at primary/secondary school, college, work… Do you remember now the feeling of not knowing anybody around you, and how nice and important was any small gesture of kindness, any friendly greeting or any nice smile towards you?

Sometimes a nice gesture that for you means nothing can be very important and appreciated by others who you don't e

The Nanny Diaries is a movie about a girl named Annie, (Annie the Nanny, ha!), who becomes a nanny against her will, forcing to live with a little brat 24/7. Being the baby of the family, I never had the chance to deal with kids. They are cute from a reasonable distance, but entering in their world is not always rewarding.

Here are some freaky things that these little raisins told to their nannies and/or babysitters:
