DREAM

what's to say, One dream it was very precious for me but i lost it gradually. Unexpectedly somebody came to remember me. After 15 years it again came to my heart like a wind, i closed my eyes and forgot myself for a little time. I wear smile in lips because that cold wind touched my face. After some time i opened eyes because of unknown pain. Shiny sun burned my face and i was sweaty. There was no wind and i couldn't see anyone that i know very well. Again i was dreaming......

Intro

Well, hi!

Something has happened in my office since last week and now I'm being pushed to practice English again. Last time I got an English course is when I was in middle school. Wow. Time flies. Now I'm here, sitting, trying to write in English properly in some random forum I found online.

But turns out this random forum is great! I'd done some quiz and it's addicting. Thought you guys are so cool! Having this website since 1997? Ohmai, I was 9 years old in 1997. I wondered if internet already a

Don’t Waste Your Opportunity

For most of us, our biggest sin is taking things for granted.I’m as guilty as anyone else: I wake up and rush into online work or reading, forgetting to appreciate what a miracle this new day is. I’m alive! I’ve been given another amazing day, full of opportunities, and that is truly breath-taking.I’m human, with a body and a conscious mind … and what an opportunity that is! We take this for granted, but if someone came up to you and said, “Hey, I can give you the power to make 10 people’s lives

Writing Challenge: Mother

" Mother" means a lot to most of the people around the globe. I am also in that group. Though, I am not sure whether I would be able to write down something on this topic or not. Because, there is every reason to be emotional!

Okay, It would be fine, If I try to figure out how my Amma helped me to be a big girl. In true sense, she was very strict and forthright. She used to scold me as well as love me. But, she was not like me!

Yes, she was not like me. She was a brave mother. She did her best to

They came back again!

  When my kids were young the swallows  built a nest up on the wall of the balcony. Each year used to  come and give birth to their babies, feed them and then were setting off the  nearby marshes to find mosquitoes and other insects.

After two or three years I don't remember exactly another family of swallows built another nest next to the old one.

We were so happy to see them every year coming and leaving  for warm places again.

Someday I noticed a hole in the second nest and I realised that anoth
