There were few books I read and like it. I expect the amount of them will increase as my read list this year has done created. Probably there will be another book I like the most in the future but at the moment, this is my favorite as I mentioned on my profile, Elif Shafak's The Forty Rules of Love.
Written by a female Turkish writer, you would find it on the cover 'a novel about Rumi' a famous poet Mawlana Jalaludin who lived in Konya, Turkey. In my opinion, the book is not only about Rumi but

The book you like
In the recent past I have read number of books and the Deans Coonz novel Watcher appealed to me very much. This is the story of a Dog named Watcher. Some scientists do some experiments on it and the dog becomes very intelligent, even it becomes able to communicate with human being. Watcher ran away from the lab and comes across with a man (the main character of the novel). I was very much impressed with the dog and wrote a blog by the name WATCHER. The book and my blog i
A job seeker entered the room where he would be interviewed for a job he wanted. There were four persons sitting behind a long table, all with serious look and tricky smile. After a moment egulfed by the lack of air on that room, he stepped in and sat in the only empty chair, right in front of them.
The woman in the middle smiled on gretted him. In exchange, he pulled up both of his lips corners, forced a smile on his rigid cheeks, it made his face looked weird somehow. The interviewers asked s
Did you ever wonder why some of the blogs were featured while others not? If so, you have a lot of company.
When the blog is thought to be worth recommending
When the admin or blog mod thinks a blog is worth recommending or reading, the blog will be featured. Featured blogs are usually well written, interesting/fun, useful or helpful.
Featured blogs don't have to be flawless or perfect
You may have found there were even mistakes (grammar, spelling, or other) in the featured blogs. It's quite possi
'' where I am supposed to be sited? In which row, is it left or right?'' Anna was confused and debating herself. Actually she was traveling alone for the first time. And, moreover it was her first train journey.
'' Hey, are you alone?'' Suddenly a female whiskey voice entered into her ear. And, she stepped out from her own thought. There was an old lady with a grin. She was drinking from a blue colored mug.
Anna felt tighten in her throat, thinking how did she know she was all alone! She tried to
This blog is in response to Barbare's (the Way to the Moon) blog on the same topic. She said she would love to read my answers to these questions. So, here are my answers. Some of the answers may sound like cliche.
1. What do you like most in this club? Why?
There are many things I like about this club. But what I like the most is the freedom it gives its members to be anonymous and yet at the same time being able true to oneself.
2. If you have the chance to speak to Josef Essberger about the sta

An Interview
I have lots of working experience on my credit. I have worked in the field of marketing, export, import, admin, secretarial. I know how to do correspondence related to these matters with commercial and government authorities. So whenever I structure my curriculum vitae I mentioned all about these experiences.
Before my current job, I had been sending my applications to innumerable organizations and appeared in various interviews, which I had gone th

I did envision my future when I was child, I really did know what I wanted to do and what I wanted to become.I wanted to be in the business life. I could imagine myself in the future, say, making career and successful woman.

One of the most important issues in our life is to have a wonderful and beautiful life which all of us struggling for , Unfortunately most of us goes wrong path and put effort to achieve something which will not end with that , But i think beautiful life is equal with healthy life ,wait wait, Healthy life oh so expensive i cant afford it , I completely disagree with this thinking that being healthy is expensive , Living healthy depend in our
It was such a lovely day that I wanted to remember for the rest of my life. There was he with all his charms. And it was I who kept watching him.
The day we first met all he wanted to buy me was a pink rose. But during that time it was not available. So It was a white jesmin that he handed me with a nice and innocent smile.
And then there was a ritzy restaurant where he wanted to take me for supper. It was he who enchanted me by his talkativeness. Though later he told, it was I who spelled him o

- A journey with an old lady
That was my first visit to USA. I took Cathay Pacific (Hong Kong) Airline. This airline have a short stopover at Bangkok. There was an old lady sitting on a seat in one or two rows yonder of mine. She could not speak English, only her native and Urdu. I heard her talking to her neighbor from which I understood that she was also going to USA to see her son.
The Bangkok stopover arrived and the passengers whose destination was Bangkok st
I've always been more interested in music from the 50's, 60's or 70's than the music from my time. I'm a music lover and I love rock and pop music from back then; I think about it as the 'golden times' of popular music.
I can't remember when I listened to Bowie's music for the first time, but I remember to feel curious about how it was the Glam Rock in the '70's. And, of course, Bowie was the absolute King of that, so I guess that's why I looked for his music and art.
For me, the main message
It was my mother who said I should walk to my class that day when I started to take my scooter out. She thought I rode my scooter fast and was worried I might get into an accident.
It was Anju who said we should take the shortcut when we were coming back from our class. It was almost 8.30 p.m. We were walking down a deserted narrow lane. No one seemed to be around.
Suddenly Divya whispered to us, "I think someone is following us."
"What?!?" I panicked.
"Shhh...don't shout. Just walk fast," Divya s
The grayish sky is bleak and low,
Merging with horizon and wiping out that line.
I’m toiling my way through the snow
Knee deep in silvery glistening shrine.
A warming thought assists my tour:
I know that there is waiting for me
My goal, my dream of the hour-
A cup of strong and sweetened tea.
Afar from me among the trees
Grey beasts of prey, a team of four,
Tread lightly in each other’s steps
With gaze intent on gleaming snow.
They know not pity in the least.
Their goal – a deer with timid eyes-

Wrath is one of the most mortal sins in Roman Catholic. Though I don't see wrong experiencing wrath sometimes, but of course being in wrath can result to unexpected conditions. If you can't control anger you may experience headache, & sometimes results to killing others or killing yourself.
Here are some ways on how to manage it;
1. Exercise Self-Talk
2. Tap your face with your ring finger w/ other 2 fingers like massaging it. Relax your jaw, dilate your eyes & breathe well.
3. Inhale & Breathe -
Ghost Paranoid
“You had ‘ghost paranoid’? You mean you was afraid of spirits of death people?” it was my professor who asked when we were talking in the library, waiting for our next class. I had approached him while sitting with his book, it was The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra that occupied him, what the!? My dumb sense was tingling, I must be on his level to understand such kind of book. I asked him if we could discuss a bit about dificulties I had found on his subject. I forgot what it wa

Blog Challenge: It is/was...that(who) Cleft Sentences
I was not the one who parted away. It was her who phoned me a few days ago that she was leaving me. It was me who shocked to hear that no relationship now existed between me and her. There remain only the ruins of memories. How I was happy to meet her. She was the one who made me join the group of her friends. I was not the one to be responsible that her close friend was attracted towards me. It was me who never minded her talking with
This simple word; happiness, seems so easy to achieve. But talking from experience, it is not. Sometimes we forget to be happy, or just take 'happiness' for granted. Being into what I call the 'twilight years of my working life', I guess I'm contented with what I've achieved so far.
I may not be what I wanted to be, or what my childish dream wanted me to be, but you can't have everything what you wish for in life. I used to chase the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. In my hastiness in chas
