The idiom 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' means people don't always see eye to eye. That's to say something that you think is beautiful may not be regarded or considered to be beautiful by others. 

For example, many of us may have enjoyed the June blogathon (last month's writing challenge), while some may think it's pointless or meaningless to write so many blogs in such a short period of time. 

Some people may enjoy something which is readable or reader friendly or easy to read, while some

Sometimes

I try to talk to you

Like you are listening me,

Sometimes

I just try to listen you

Like you are talking to me,

Sometimes

I try to search you here and there

Like you must be present here for me,

Oh where are you,

Come to see my condition

Talk to me

Listen to me

Give me freedom so that

I could fly again

I could be happy again

I could enjoy again

I wanna live my life openly..

FB created a tool that allowed you to change your profile picture in support of marriage equality. I have found a few information it could be an experiment on its users. As we know, FB is data harvesting and analysing capabilities of people.

I hope that this tool has been invented only for celebrating LGBT rights and it shows that more and more people whose are out of this community are giving us solidarity to improve our rights worldwide. What do you think?2347098133?profile=original

They need opportunity

Recently I have observed a new perspective in movies. It was always like there were some nice people against those who were the bad guys.  The good ones were always good and the bad ones were always bad. It was like they were born to be villain. The new perspective in movies tries to see positive and negative features in villains. They would act so differently if they had a chance; I meant the chance of being good. When the villains are not blamed for everything wrong, when they are treated well

V is for Varoufakis!

The Greeks surprised the European polibureaucracy in Brussels by letting the people speak—an outrageous dose of democracy from a country said to have been its birthplace! And the (now ex-) Finance Minister of Greece was largely to be thanked for it, much to the annoyance of the European elites who are trying to bail out the bankstersThis article shows Varoufakis in an unusual and amusing light:

Today's tip of the day - reading.  Reading is a remarkable way to increase your vocabulary.  And I have a suggestion for getting the most out of your time reading.  

For beginners, reading can be extremely difficult.  However, it does not have to be scary.  All of my 2nd level students start reading short paragraphs.  My third level students are reading classical short stories.  Short stories are ideal because they are not too long.  Classical short stories are nice because there is a great selec

Namaz - Salah - Prayer

We Muslims have been commanded by Allah to offer essential (Fardh) prayers (Namaz – Salah) five times a day. (Unfortunately many of us now-a-days do not take it seriously).  These five essential prayers are offered at fixed times.  Fajr ( before dawn), Zohar (after mid-day, just after noon), Asr (starts in the beginning of evening and remains till sunset), Maghrib (just after sunset) and Isha, (after one and a quarter hour after sunset, remains till before dawn).  These five salah are preferably

Don't feel bad if you make mistakes with these three.  It is confusing for native speakers at times.  However, there is a simple test to pick the correct form.

Let's start with the easiest test:  "they're"

First let's look at "they're," which is the contraction of "they are."  If you can switch "they're" for "they are," you have the correct form.

They're going to a party.
They are going to a party.

Next, let's look at "their."  "Their" is the possessive adjective (which means belonging to them).  If

Hi again, everyone. 

Today I'm gonna open you a famous mountain district called "Kazbegi" that is situated on the north of Georgia. The total distance from surface to Kazbegi + Gergeti Church is around 3 500 m (as the driver told me). Just imagine how high you sit and observe this planet :)))

As usual, all photos are taken by me (and movie is made by me) but I decided to make a short photo-movie in order to make it bright and interesting. Watch it first and love Caucasian mountains as I love them

Does Valentine Day still matter to me?  I'm not sure how to answer this.

There's no one special to spend this day with.  I'm now single.  A widow.

But, somehow, I'm still tickled when February comes.  The many commercial advertisements tickled me.  Why?  Because, there many novelties now to receive and  to give gift to.  The new flower arrangements tickled my heart and longing come again. The old songs and music bring romantic memories alive again.  The mouth watering chocolate candies just irresi
