Hello all members!

Just this question popped into my mind and I thought it's a good idea to share it here. I think your answers will be interesting....

What are the signs of Falling in Love???

Maybe your experiences will be fantastic...

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim year. During which the fasting is observed from dawn to sunset (dusk). Sometimes, it comes a day ahead of the expected start of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan. It was during this month that the Quraanic revelation began.  

The word Ramadan comes from the Arabic word (ramd) which means extreme heat. When they shifted the names of the months from the old language, they named them according to the times they came in. The time of the month of Ramadan came co

Believing in yourself as good at something is the shortest way to success.....

Over 100 years ago, Afghanis brought camels to Australia. They worked when the overland telegraph line was installed between Adelaide in the south and Darwin in the north, a distance of about 3,000 km.

Now, we have hundreds, if not thousands of wild camels roaming round in Central Australia. We have developed a camel meat industry which has been successful and most recently sent a number of camels to Qatar to help provide a different genetic stream in their camel industry.

We have many more camels

 The difference between ordinary and   extraordinary is that just little 'extra'.

    This is the short story of the person who changed my life forever.

It was going to be the happiest day in my life, my son is about to be born and I am present during the childbirth!  what a wonderful experience, although at the end the nurse had to sat me down because I almost crumple.

Everything was  perfect but few minutes later, the doctor told me that my son is being taken to another hospital in Madrid in an a

The task of covering hundred miles in 24 hrs falls on Joe’s head as thunderstorm. This is the first time in the history of military school the management has decided to punish the student ruthlessly.  The wolfish smiles on the Sam’s face ignited fire on his heart. The fear of being blacklisted tormented his heart and breaks it into pieces. At any cost he wanted to outdo this punishment. He made up his mind for the daunting task. He forgot everything except Sam’s face.

Next morning he started off

It's been a while since I post a blog under the 'Did You Know?' series. So here it comes for the first 'Did You Know?' series in 2014. It's all about the colour red.

1. Caught Red Handed

The meaning of caught red handed is to be caught in the act of committing a misdemeanour with the evidence. The origin of the phrase can be traced back to the Scotland in the 15th century. It was believed to refer to people who had been caught with blood for murders or poaching.

The phrase 'red hand' was first ment

A certain man planted a rose and wanted it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought,: How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns?

Sadness by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom…it died.

So it is with many people .within every soul there is a rose .the God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns

I've been a member of English Club for about two years now. Anyone here WHO's ever met me knows that I'm a huge DR. WHO fan.

Some may ask why I'd chose such an eccentric fictional character as a dinner guest. He's not exactly notorious for having excellent table manners.

(Here he is eating with his hands. Although not depicted in this photograph, both elbows are obviously on the table.)

Others may wonder, "WHO the heck is Eric writing about"?

For those of you WHO've been hiding underneath a rock f

Yesterday was the worst day in my life. I was so busy that I didn't even get time to stand up and breathe. My head was aching like anything and I felt it would break anytime. I dialed my boss couple of times but didn't get through. As it was minutes away from the meeting I didn't have any other choice other than attending the meeting. The client was so particular that they wanted requirements from our side that day itself and I was left with no option other than work. I had to work till 3 am to

Someone has written these beautiful words.

Must read and try to understand the deep meaning of it.
They are like the Ten Commandments to follow in life all the time.

Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a "steering wheel", that directs the right path throughout.

People like comparing the genders, it is very debatable topic. For instance - whose life is worse, if men are so busy at work, all the time tired or if women are stuck in the kitchen, must do only their duties and take care of the kids. I was thinking about it and would like to show you in this blog describtion of one day with the views, which crossed my freaky mind. Just one thing - remember I am from Europe because in my opinion such issue might differ throughout the cultures we live in.

RAIN THE ABLUTION

When I left for my work the weather was normal, the sky was partially cloudy, and a cool wind was blowing with normal steering. Therefore, I didn't take rain coat or umbrella. On the way, the sky abruptly became overcast with rain clouds and it began to drizzle. I was on a road where there was no traffic, and the green trees on both sides of the road were waving with the wind. I threw a look at the far distance, all along the way the trees looked as if the nature in green dress

I still remember the first time I recorded my voice and played it back long time ago. I was shocked and told myself what a bad recording program. I asked my friends and they told they encounted the same problem. But when I listen to their recordings I felt those are their real voice, nothing strange here. Then I came to know that only we can hear the difference, other people always feel the same when hearing us speaking or our recording.

With this wonder, I asked google and here, the secret was r

My new job in Shenzhen is pretty good, not perfect mind you, but pretty good. The only BIG negative currently is that I live over 2 hours away from where I work. I am hoping to find a new place to live closer to Nanshan Central District (where I work) next month. I must save enough money first which is why I haven't moved yet.

Yesterday I finished my application for the correct visa to work in China. I will pick up my Passport in 2 weeks and be good to go (or should I say stay).
