June and Nile were very good friends. They had many similarities.They even had many common ideas and beliefs. Moreover, their culture was same. One fine morning they decided to get married. They had a very good bond too.

Time passed. Many things happened between them, many differences came up. After 3 years of being together they decided to be separated. They torn their relationship. They broke the vows which they pronounced in their wedding day.

I had to tell her that I broke her window by accident.She took my hand and we arrived at my home to tell my parents. She told everything to my parents.My parents paid for her window and they punished me not to play footbaal for a week.I felt very bad this day

Two days ago, I heard a thug tried to unlatch one of our neighbor's main door. Most probably his intention was robbery. Hearing this piece of information, I became numb and amazed. But, I had no idea that it was not the first incident. Before it, a robber twisted their backdoor but could not open it. Then he sent this sniper who became successful to step into the main entrance.

After that I have been wondering how a man/woman has become a killer or housebreaker! Once, a group of pirates intruded

Religion, God & Spirituality

Which came first?

If you could answer it correctly, I am sure you are more spiritual than religious. A person who could correctly differentiate religion and spirituality only can answer it correctly. Unfortunately most of my friends are thinking both are same  L.

A person could be spiritual without even following any religion.

Wait, please think a couple of minute and define what religion is? What spirituality is? Even you know well please do think once again before read

My eagerness, keen and enthusiasm for learning English is intense, extreme and drastic. The vast, huge and broad vocabulary of English language makes me bewildered, puzzled or confused. There are so many words meaning the same like delay, postpone and procrastinate; meanwhile we have some phrasal verbs which mean the same as those verbs like putt off.

I started learning English first as a hobby, pastime or recreation, but as time went by I fell in love with this beautiful, gorgeous and elegant la

When and why to live or die?

To say or hide, to lose or find?

Do we love or just adore?

From the heart just, from your core

You feel or sense, embrace or hug?

Absorb, consume!!! Just feel the smack?

Love or leave, lie and believe

Stay or go, be fast or slow

That matters never anymore

Just break that wall, big or small!!!

Barriers, obstacles and troubles

Sort it out, work it out

Fix it, solve it, call it off…

All the sentences above

Are just some words, phrases! One thought…

Think it, mind it, give a shot!!!

I am closing my eyes and immersing myself into the deep ocean. Falling down to a place where I am alone.. only me, myself not disturbed. Here it is real me, not influenced by anybody and anything. I might be lost or down but such dreaming gives me new hope. Hope, which fullfils my body with the invisible drops of energy and gently caress my tired face to assure me that I am not alone. Dreams are my sweet companions, who are always more than welcome.  Sometimes I desperately wish to relax, to esc

Some members here keep asking, 'How can I write an intriguing or interesting blog?'

Good question indeed! It makes sense to create a blog which is enchanting or facinating since people enjoy reading them. It's no fun if people don't want to read what you write. 

A charming blog is one which is pleasent or attractive yet thoughtful or informative. Sometimes it's just funny, humourous, lighthearted, cheerful, or amusing. 

You need to come up with a good idea or topic for such a taking, captivating or

The countdown has begun. In a few days' time Hajj is coming. For those who are able to perform Hajj, they should perform it sooner. Do not say, I am young, I will postpone it till I am old. As long as you are able, do it at once. As for the ability to perform Hajj, the Haji should be healthy and have some mean of transport to travel to the  holy house of Allah. Pilgrims can  travel by planes, cars, animals or choose whatever means of travel they can afford to get there. It depends on the ability

My blog posted earlier in response to Expector's challenge has been erroneously deleted so as all the comments made by my dear friends, for which I regret very much.  I am re-posting the same and would request my friends to comment.  I regret very much for the inconvenience caused.

She was joyous to torture me by her loving indifference, ignoring me as if I didn’t exist. But I was happy to see her pleased. The affliction caused to me was intoxicating. I was exhilarated rather

Yes, the title 'I'm a newbie' is often seen here. When you see a blog title like this, you know it's the first blog by a new member, or a newcomer.

As I was driving on a highway, a car with high speed overtook my car. In the blink of an eye he lost his control and all I remember was a car spinning in front of my car, I lost my control and bang. I was watching my car and “i” injured in the car. Oh my God! It was time for me to go, to leave everything behind. My time was over, but I was not ready to go. I have so much to do. I wanted to tell my kids how much I love them. I wanted them to know that although sometimes I was harsh on them, but I

There comes a time in a man’s life that he begins to be aware of a world his senses cannot read, cannot describe, lacking the ability to grasp its form yet strangely aware that it is there…

Like a man that has traveled through a garden of great beauty then suddenly comes upon an empty open wasteland, a desert that yields nothing to the senses, it strikes him so that he reacts from the blow, and yet a tiny voice so impossibly true whispers “it is there”

In that vast nothingless “it is there” and al

To find the true, genuine and real purpose of life might be for some people boring, tirining or exhausting journey, whereas for others an awesome, super-duper and wonderful opportunity to live life on the maximum with knowing that one day they won't regret. Of course, you all are just humans - people and you make stupid, silly and dull mistakes but to sit scared, frightened and terrified in the corner of the room and wait for the special occasion is just something what only passive and indolant

I hope it will be an interesting, mind blowing, appreciable, jovial, funny, fantastic blog challenge! And, I am really interested, excited, inspired, stirred and touched by it. Though, finding synonyms/same /similar/ alike/equivalent words is not so easy.

Here, some members are bold enough to face any challenge. They are really smart and capable. In true sense, they are vigorous.

On the contrary, I am a bit timi

Are you ready for another blog challenge? I hope so. 

It can be so boring, dull, tedious or dreary to repeat the same words or expressions over and over again in a blog. Your writing can sound so weak or you're driving your readers up the wall if you do so. You could use different words or synonyms or other expressions instead, though. 

Your task is to try use as many alternative words or expressions that mean the same thing as possible in a blog. 

Your blog may sound just like this:

Lots of people have hobbies. Some people collect old coins or foreign stamps, some do needlework, others spend most of their spare time on a particular sport.

A lot of people enjoy reading. But reading tastes differ widely. Some people only read newspapers or comics, some like reading novels, while others prefer books on astronomy, wildlife, or technological discoveries.

If I happen to be interested in horses or precious stones, I cannot expect everyone else to share my enthusiasm. If I watch all

Yes, once again, I came up with the same title. Please, don't tilt your face down, otherwise I will deface it. Opps, sorry for being rude, dude!  I am not so crude, you know. Anyway, I just wanted to tell that it's a very effective way to learn new words and to remember them.

In our life, many things could be happened. We could be happy or sad. But, whatever we are we have many reminiscences, many memories on the crooks of our lifetime.

It was a summer-evening. Julia was passing by a brook holding
