Random thoughts with Geography Idioms. :))

People are often on cloud nine after digging deep to find an item on online shopping. You know why? Because they found the dirt cheap one at last. You'll be surprised to know that some rich people do that as well. They said, "we are down to earth". D

A down to earth person is apparently not like a fair-weather friend. Their being open and sensible make them be a good friend both in a field day or in a bad day. Problems could never go downhill when such fr

Freedom of speech is one of the most important human rights. How to know a way whether freedom of speech is secure or not boils down to whether the citizens of a country can criticize the most influential person there or not. I think freedom of speech is relatively secure in Western countries, because they can see, read and listen to a lot of criticism of their president or prime minister.

On the other hand, there are some countries where it is forbidden to criticize the head of the nation. In co

An expression has been catching my interest while I was reading and commenting on Tam's post "What decides which country you belong to?".

GLOBALIZED WORLD

We all often use this expression. "What does mean the globalized world in my understanding?", thought I.

Let me tell my humble and simple opinion, please.

I agree with everyone who says it should not matter where we come from if there exists a globalized world.

But please, look at this world! Is that a real globalized world?
Maybe in that sense tha

It’s now black and white that she never loved me. She is gone forever leaving m

When I left my house this morning, I was again delighted by the beauty of the fall colors.
Actually, the temperatures are more like summer than fall. We have still about 25 degrees, more or less. That is unusual for October here in our region.
When the sun shines on the leaves of the trees, it seems as if nature has been painting everything in blood-red and gold.

Please, have a look at this beauty!

I didn’t know that I was getting into hot water while I declined her chat call.  She got angry and pointed me out that how out of etiquette my attitude was.  She also said though blood is thicker than water, but friendship is also important and it is sometimes proved not blown out of water.  I was really dead in the water when tried to pacify her.  It was like dipping a toe into the water.  My carelessness really put me in a position like fish out of water, feeling hard even to breathe.  I was n

Lately, I fell into the trap of being judgy.

I judged someone, so harshly that, he started to feel pain. I didn't know that I was causing that pain and it's my responsibility to ask for forgiveness.

I shared the story with my family, probably intended to view myself as free-from defects- human, free of deficiencies and all that stuff cause a human to be shamed, and afraid to speak out about it in public, I told them “ proudly and victoriously, that person……” is a bad person”.

However, it did not la

Someone interested in speaking English. My level is intermediate and I live in Brazil. UTC -4. I can talk 5 to 7 or 10 to 12 pm Brazil times.

We sometimes get bored,

I understand that, as human, we prone to that, quite frequently, So, when that mood kicks in, we feel a strong argue to leave, whether to leave  a person, a country, a home, even the whole world and at that point, we just wanna do it, so we do it right away.

I love change because change is a must to survive, to start a new journey.

I find myself a lot when I change, from time to time, when I feel the need to track my direction to another route, a new one probably, not the us

An acronym is a word or name formed as an abbreviation from the initial components in a phrase or a word.

Some common acronyms are: NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), POTUS (President of the United States).

Government agencies and QANGO or QUANGO (Quasi-Autonomous Non-Government Organisations) and the military thrive on acronyms. This can be a real challenge if you aren't familiar with the acronyms.

Osaka Naomi is a 20 year old tennis player who has a Japanese mother and an American father from Haiti. She won the U.S open in 2018. She was born in Japan and her family moved to Florida when she was 3 years old. She could have played tennis as an American player, but she didn't do it. She plays tennis as a Japanese player. I have heard it is because she wants to compete in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. There are many strong tennis players in the U.S, so she thinks it will be easier for her to be ch

As an English teacher and teacher trainer in Pakistan, I’ll admit that many times I have a lot of trouble understanding my students. Indian-Pakistani English has developed into its own unique dialect over the years, and although the Desi population may understand each other perfectly, speakers of standard dialects may be left completely befuddled. Improve your English and make sure you’re understood by avoiding these common mistakes.

The untold story of sleepless nights, the ones we never share, the ones that only share to specific people.

Actually that story defines you, no matter how u have been all the day when the bucket of emotions gets overflowed that give birth to an unknown writer.

You need not to be good at it, all you need is to be pure at heart  ... Mark my words  it will certainly going to lower your burden!  NOT applicable to all but may be helpful . Keep smiling   keep surfing ... 

Their is a lot of things now a days which makes trend on the entire Internet either Facebook or instagram or any other social site.

People take it so seriously like if they don't follow it they will go in oblivion. But as far as i am concerned i never followed any of them, that doesn't mean i am out of the league and that doesn't affect me a bit. 

So this post only a reminder for people who think that this world only accepts u if u follow the trend, please don't think like that thire is a lot to d

Almost everyone had been in this situation ... once being back bitten, ditched, dumped, heart broken, trust broken etc so as a consequence of these people try to take a revenge kinda thing which is not acceptable or good for any person ! 

What u have done is your good being what another individual has done to u is his/her bad being, so until and unless someone assaults you physically don't indulge in that shit .. walking away would be better that's not cowardice that's intellectual .......

Today morning after two sleepless night  I had ( still I have) my blood pressure high, so, I decided to listen to music just after reaching my work place! After listening to some of my favourite music and singing some I started feeling a bit okay. And, I am  listening to now and then with my official file work. No, it did not make my work delay rather it is helping me not to get worry. And, I have found again how much helpful music is to get our brain cools down or to make us feel good when we a

Who owns the love?

Often, we speak and write about love, We sing songs about love, we write poems and novels. Love is the most popular subject of songwriters and poets.

But we don't ask who the owner of love is.

I have my own theory about it.

Love is not a possession. Even if we love someone, we don't own the love per se.

Love is independent, and nobody knows if and when love hits us. We can't plan to love. It just happens.

Love doesn't have any schedule or ordinary plans.
Love can't be ordered and d
