what to ask?

Well, this is my personal view, based on some experiences that we should know what we should say or ask to others! Yes, I am taking about some expressions. Recently I faced a problem asking someone ' where he /she was and why did not he/ she come. Then response was a bit bitter! I got stunned! Thinking why on earth I went to ask this question? But this was not the first time instead there were a few times when I asked something in a very simple way but answers were not that simple!
So, friends,

Can you go back to nature?

It is like a trap we all are slowly falling into. It is like a drug more and more of us are being day by day attracted to. It is like a blackhole that imprisones us inside without our awareness. In fact consuming, virtual life style in this modern era is killing us, taking our identities and makes us slaves of the system. One day people will forget, how it feels to spend hours outside, how amazing it is to stand on the top of the hill or to sleep under the sky, how it feels to enjoy this awesome

The bells are ringing

This is the first time I try  to make a poem.  I hope I am not too far away.

 

The bells are ringing 

calling closed doors  to  open

 the child does not want milk

tears  won't dry 

The bells are ringing 

Many of them are afraid  

Nights are long

The  cry of that child is so loud

They want survival, who cares?

The bells are ringing 

hungry birds fly helplessly 

in the cloudy sky

The space is not enough

Weak wings stop to flutter

The bells are ringing

Tears are still dropping

But their shouts still linger

In that cl

=Common Sense=

A student submitted his paper to his Teacher…

Teacher: Why it’s blank?

Student: I drew a cow and a grass.

Teacher: (looked again to the paper) where is the grass?

Student: The cow already ate it.

Teacher: (scratching her head) where’s the cow?

Student: What’s the use of staying there if there is no grass anymore? Of course, it will leave.  Common sense Ma’am.

English Expression #4: Got Trolled

2347353157?profile=originalIf you get trolled, it means you fail to recognize a troll and responds to it with anger or annoyance (Urban Dictionary.com).

This ugly creature was first popularized in folktales and movies. It brings fear and negativity to the community.

Misery of a Lover

This is on the motivation from Expector's Tips on English Usage (8): I was wondering

I phoned her whether she would be able to come to see me.  I wondered if I might be turned down, but instead my request was wonderfully accorded to.  I was wondering how could it happen in spite I was hoping it to be happened that way.  She never responded to me like she did that day.  I was afraid she could refuse to my request.  I was thinking, knowing her indifferent attitude towards me, she might have got som

Yes, you can use the past progressive/continuous or past simple tense to make a request or suggestion sound more polite, for example, you can say "I was wondering/I wondered if you could comment on my blog", instead of saying "You should try to comment on my blog". 

In addition to 'I was wondering/I wondered', you could use 'I was hoping', 'I was thinking' or 'I thought' instead of 'I hope' or 'I think' to express politeness. That is to say, the past simple or progressive tense can have present o

Once a father and his hideous daughter who lived in a rural village visited a city for the first time. They were amazed by almost each and everything they saw there. After walking around the city for some time, they went to a big mall and were dumbfounded when they saw the two walls that could move apart and slide back together again.

The girl asked her father, "Oh, father, what is this?" 

The father who had never seen an elevator before said, "I have never seen anything like this before, my dear

“Let’s do it! I’m so ready, in spite the fact that I heard it’s a bit painful, and I know I can manage to do it” –my encouraging words for myself that morning.

12:01 pm, I forgot that I haven’t eaten yet, but this particular event scheduled today has no intention to move in favor of my grouchy stomach, I remember I haven’t taken my supper as well. What’s going on with me? I’m packing my things, my notebook and a bottle of water. Right! I have a bottle of water; this could be enough for now, to su

AG's Writing Challenge: Tell A Joke

A very thin man was married to a woman having bulky figure. He was so worried about how he would tackle such a giant wife. He consulted with his closed friend before a day in his (groom's) room. He (friend) pointed to a picture hanging on the wall in which a thin man climbed over an elephant commanding it to a certain direction and said, " you don't need physical strength to control your wife, but to use your brain". He might have a positive message for this groom.The next day, his friend was in
