I am quite sure that many are enjoying benefits of online chat. Either by frequent communication or making active friendship. We come across different 'kind' of usages in English and definitely new and newer terms. Here I raise a doubt, at what extent the platform of chat give birth to cultural communication?

Can you guess what the title of my blog is? If it's the first time you've seen this kind of post, you'd probably raise your eyebrows or freak out. Fret not! I'm just using the International Phonetic Alphabet or the IPA symbols.

If you've been learning English for years, you would mostly encounter these symbols many times especially in online dictionaries such as Macmillan.

2347290982?profile=originalThe IPA is used as a guide to fully understand how a word is being spoken. It's somewhat like a code in unlocking a treasure b

Dear Readers,

 Today, writing after a very very long time but, for this I will give  credit to my EC friends.

 I am getting immense pleasure in writing about my friends. It is a special occasion, it is friendship day.

Friends are really very imperative in our life. We all have friends - I think it is  very easy to share our problems with our friends, then with anyone. Friend is someone with whom we can openly share our feelings, our joy, without thinking much without caring how he or she should re

silent but it was great. 

Happy but I am quite,

The Sad Life of Pets

My heart breaks whenever I see that a pet's been abandoned by its owner. There are guys who buy a pet, bring it home make it think it'll be loved forever but after a while they become tired and ''get rid of'' it. What were they thinking? That their pet was a broken toy or a piece of...? No!!! It's alive. It sees, hears and feels pain and abuse like a human being.

To all of those people who do this:DogHome.jpg

But the poor pet ends up like this:

The Swan Maiden, a tragic fairy tale

Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, La Bayadere, Giselle, ...

A ballerina in a pink tutu brings to mind, right? Like Rose Day, Thinking Day and any other Days; there's a Ballet Day and it's on February 7th. Why? Well, because ballet was introduced to the US on February, 1827 at the Bowery Theater. Plus, February 7, 1668 was the day when the Dutch Prince William III danced in the premiere of the “Ballet of Peace.”

Let's skip the niceties, shall we? Whenever I see a ballerina performing on a stage, something

City of Delusion

Stay away from me.I love this lyric when I am in manic mood.I can break things.
Build a fortress
And shield your beliefs
Touch the divine
As we fall in line
Can I believe when I don't trust
All your theories turn to dust
I choose to hide from the all seeing eye,when I'm depressed.
Destroy this City of Delusion
Break these walls down
I will avenge
Justify my reasons
With your blood
You'll not rest
Settle for less
Until you guzzle
And squander what's left
Do not deny That you live and let die.
