August 16, 2002

This earth sees the birth and death of a huge amount of animals and plants every day and every moment. Life and death is a universal phenomenon in nature. Everyone has embarked upon the journey to death since the moment of his birth.

The happiness of LIFE and the sadness of death are the basic emotions of mortals and laities.

A family will be bursting with happiness at the birth of a baby and a family suffering loss of

The language of the universe, or perhaps, the language of God? What I am talking about here is Mathematics, the smallest element of the universe. I would say that if  there is a God somewhere, his legacy would be mathematics. I do not deny God’s existence, but relations and patterns that mathematics can describe so well makes we wonder, Where does mathematics come from and how was it created? I am not a believer of the God described in the Quran nor in the Bible, and I am not a Atheist since I d

Whenever love was not love to start with,

when the love became toxic and unhealthy,

when it became unbalanced and pain,

when it became a living agony, a place not to be,

where do you stand?

where do you want to be?

when love is not love to begin with,

what you will do?

When  it comes to self-confidence,

you are happy you are never alone,

My friends, I hope you have had some rest from my grammar tests. So, I am back with my next grammar task for you not to relax completely. This time I have decided to add some Subjunctive and inversion. Please, be attentive as this test is not a piece of cake. You know my mistakes are unpredictable and there are a lot of them in each sentence. I have to admit using some of the sentences from your blogs as well as some your ideas.

Pythogenesis is a natural phenomenon. It is the transformation of putrefaction, corruption, and decomposition. Putrefaction, corruption, and decomposition are bad, but pythogenesis is a conversion of energy and a transition of life. 

You can observe a fallen apple from the tree. It rots at the beginning, but after a period of time only an empty shell is left. Then after sometime, even the empty shell vanished. Where has the entire apple

My involvement in the educational field often has me communicating with students. I’ve been asked questions about a million things related to college admissions, campuses, college selection, accommodation, you name it. One of the recent questions that I have received on Twitter came from a student who lives in Spain. She intended to apply to a university in Boston (home to the second largest concentration of foreign students in the U.S.) and asked me about his chances to be accepted.

Given that s

The tension has risen recently between the U.S and North Korea. The U.S government sent an aircraft carrier  near North Korea, and in turn North Korea declared that they will continue to develop nuclear weapons. They fired some missiles into Japan sea, although they failed. The U.S President Donald Trump said that he has all options including war, so it seems more likely that war would break out between the two nations.

Let’s first look at the following cases. 

Case 1: Huiyan reported in Four Flowers and Four Dragons—the Story of Two Quadruplets, “if one of the quadruplets catches a cold, the other three will surely have a fever.” “Three brothers yawned in step with each other, with three little mouths opening simultaneously. They uttered “Ah…” sonorously, as if proclaiming their manliness.”

Professor Caroline Black just had finished one of her lectures when the young man entered the lecture hall. She looked at him and said, "I am sorry but the lecture is completed for today. Are you a new student? I never have seen you in my lectures." "No, professor Black, I am not one of your students. I am here in a very private matter or mission, however you want to call it", said the young man.

Carolin Black looked up. She was very surprised and said a little annoyed, "I am sorry but I have to

 A girl at 30, was standing on a bridge over a river. It was a sunny day with nice weather. The sky was bright and  light wind was blowing. Some birds were chirping around her. A soft  wind was flapping her face and hair. The girl didn't notice anything of the lovely weather. She was looking at the river and deeply brooding over only some thought.

She was thinking that, There is no point to get by my life. There is no hope and no dream. My future is dark. My love have forgotten me.The world doesn

Four years later:  

Nothing important had changed in the small village and the old man still lived outside of the village and worked at his farm. He was still alone but the kids were no longer afraid of him. They sometimes came to his house to play with the shaggy dog or to drink his very delicious homemade lemonade. When the boys asked him if he needed any help, he always said “no”. Despite his age, he was still a strong man.

The boy who had borrowed the books from the old man became a young

I read a story in a newspaper, an old lady has lost a jewellery worth 6.6 Lac. This happened when she was coming back to her home town. Actually she went to meet her sister nearby town. She was in the hospital laying on the bed. She recollected what happened with her. She got into the state transport bus and a man offered her a seat. They showed a friendliness and pretended to be very caring person. They were in two number and taken care of the lady throughout the journey. As part of travel food

I have always been interested if our pets understand what we say or they just react to the intonation, if they distinguish one language from another.  As our family is multilingual (I, together with my wife can speak 5 different languages) and our pats were raised in different countries, it has been quite easy to find it out.

Dogs are considered to react to our speech more consciously than cats. So, we started our experiments with Jenny. She is American born and has always heard only English. She
