Writing Prompt ~Third Conditional

If I had known that learn a second language is so good I would have started learning sooner. It's as if another mind get into your brain when you learn it and you begin to look at the world from new perspectives. It's magic! If I had noticed how enriching it is to be able to talk to people from different cultures before, I would have made friends as much as possible in several language learning social networks. Reading is a great passion that I didn't know I had

Eid ul-Fitr or Id-Ul-Fitr, often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadhan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Its being celebrated on Tuesday the 29th July in my country. Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fiṭr means "to break the fast" (and can also mean "nature", from the word "fitrah") and so symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period. Eid ul-Fitr starts the day after Ramadan ends, and is verified by the sighting of the new moon. Muslims give mon

The recent controversy over UPSC, civil services exam is a debatable issue which is politicized by political leaders and parties for their parochial interests in Hindi and regional speaking belts. What these leaders and astray students do not understand is that Civil services exam is not a “welfare scheme”, but the most difficult and respected exam of the country.

The accusation on UPSC of being biased toward English has a fundamental fallacy. These students do not understand (and probably do not

Writing Prompt ~ Second Conditional

If I inherited a zoo, I would think about the best way to keep all the animals comfortably adapted to the life inside a limited environment. For that I would first enlarge the zoo's area. If I could, I would bring the plants, food and climate of their original regions.  How it would be really amazing! The animals would live as if they were living in their natural home. If experts in animal behaviour worked in my zoo, I would ask for them to treat the animals wi

A GAME WITH OWN FATE

Part Two 

Meanwhile he was watching the movie, he heard some noise outside. Of course, he knew he couldn´t open the door and go there, since his death might be waiting for him with open arms. On the other hand he was since the early childhood very curious and again his curiousity was trying to beat him. This time he had to be more careful, he realized that it is a matter of life now to open the door and to go outside. He won´t do it at any cost. He sat down on the sofa and dec

I'm an ambitious lady who looks for a good future. I look at life as a schoo of experiments, attitudes, moments, and exams. I think the difference from life's school and  shcool education is that in life's school you pass the exam than you learn from it while in the school education you learn first than you have the exam.Whatever the exam you will have you should put in your mind that you may succeed or you fail, if you succeeded you would be the happiest person whereas failure wouldn't detract

A GAME WITH OWN FATE 

Part One

It was cold midnight and his apartment was almost lost in the darkness. Something woke him up but he was unable to identify what it was. When he opened eyes, he saw in the corner of the bedroom white shining mysterious person. Suddenly only feelings like insecurity and curiousity occupied his mind. It was female and she gave him impression she was an angel, anyway he couldn´t deny he felt scared of her and didn´t know what to expect. She was giving him her hand but h

I noticed that usually, when something goes wrong somewhere else, the United States is either blamed for it or called out to help and intervene.  I understand that there are times when war is inevitable so I am not going to question why our troops need to be out there although I also understand that we here have enough problems in our own backyard that also need serious attention and some cleaning up.  So when our young men and women in the military are sent out abroad and forced to fight in som

My friend has a dog called Toby.

Toby is sensitive to cats……Last week, my friend decided to go on a trip, so she left Toby to me, because we have a big yard, when I brought Toby to the yard, he sat calmly at one corner…..after a short time, the bell rang, it was another friend with a kitten asking me to keep her kitten while she was on trip, she told that her kitten ( Pishi) liked to tease dogs and for this, I must keep Pishi away from the dogs…..As soon as I brought Pishi into the yard, she bega

        A frog lived in a well. It had lived there for a long time. It was born there and brought up there, and yet was a little, small frog.

"The sea! How big is that? Is it as big as my well?" an

Turn away = “*to cause someone or an animal to avoid moving toward something”…They turn us away at the border because we don’t have visas.

Turn down = “ *to issue a refusal to someone *refuse a offer *to decrease the volume of something”…  We had to turn john down, even though his proposal was okey. Plase turn the radio down. The board turned our request down.

Turn in = “ *to submit or refer someone or something to someone, *to go to bed”…  I turned in report to the treasurer. I want to turn i

I have seen so many people coming, staying and passing on my journey of life, and just small part of them we still sort of keep in touch and just several become my best friends.

There was a time when I was totally confused that whether I should spend so much time dealing with the people you meet and trying to know them so that I could possibly make them become my friends, for most of the people you meet in your life, such as classmates, schoolmates or colleagues and all, once you two are separate

Dear Captain,

I just dreamed of you last night. That was a strange dream. I embarked your ship, and I saw you sleep on the deck, dreaming. Just then there came a water screen from the sea, which was showing your dream. Don't worry, I was the only audience.

I am sorry I forgot your dream. Perhaps I should have woken up and kept it down. Sigh! But recently I noticed a good thing. The memories of ten years ago came back to me. As I read Su's diary, I could think of many of the shared moments between

Today I decided to hit the ground rolling for the project I had.so I started writing. After finishing a page or two which were the most crucial pages I accidentally unplugged my laptop and it went dead! And I haven’t saved the document! Gone!

I was so anxious! Leaving the laptop aside, I left my room, murmuring with myself, oh God! I know there is something in it but, you know how hard it was for me to start and how important it was for me t

This summer I spent ten days by the lake Balaton in Hungary. It was great holiday with little bit tropical weather but we all enjoyed it a lot. Balaton is not any small pond, it is the biggest lake in the central Europe with its length 70 km and width 24 km. If u want to go around the whole lake it would take you I guess few days since it is 200 km.

Hungary isn´t so far away from the Czech republic, even though the language is totally different and pronounciation doesn´t give me any logical sense

Those memories were great when my mind took me to school days  

Dad was polishing my shoes & busy making my bag.

I was so very  lazy

 Mom was shouting take breakfast

Then the watch was moving so very fast .

It was so frequent to miss the schoolbus with rolled breakfast

I often had desire if I had a free class,

I shouted hurrah whenever I found any of my Teacher absent in the class,

When Teacher hold me with ears while my talking in between of the class,

When friends in the first period shared what’s spec

   Being one of Frozen Cartoon Movie fans is a fun. That fairy tale is enough making me having an imagination to live in Arandelle Kingdom as a Princess, Princess Elsa. Living in a huge palace and surrounded by people who love me, especially my sister, Anna. Having a magical power, and can change everything that I touch becomes frozen.

The other exciting thing is, I have a Snowman which I created with my Sister. Olaf, alive cute snowman.
