    It's a story taken from Ancient  Greece.

Anaxagoras ,the Greek plilosopher , married a woman who was very ugly.He married her because she was very rich and she had a large dowry.

One day he went for a walk with his wife. He saw a friend and introduced  his new wife  to him.

His friend asked in surprise:"Is she really your wife?"

The man said , "But she's cross-eyed,"

"I know ," answered Anaxagoras.

"And one leg shorter than the other , "his friend said.

I live on my own and I am happy like this. Only my family - I mean my husband and my kids. Some of you might opose that families should stay together but from my point of view it can sometimes create many generational conflicts. Here in my country living with elder generation isn't so common, maybe more in the villages but in the city we definately prefer own privacy.

Such way of living has of course many advantages. Nobody tells me what to do, which is the most important thing for me. I am indep

I always try to get known local food, I mean Bangladeshi cuisine when I step out from my country. Though, sometimes, I like to taste other cuisines also.

In true sense, I am a bit scared person. I scare of many things. May be it is one of the reasons of my local food loving habit. Secondly, I always like to think in this way that if I try new items of food, it may kill my time. You know during traveling how important time is! Another point is, My stomach is used to our own cuisine. So, it may get

Are you ready for another writing challenge? I hope so. Let's try to write an argumentative essay.

Essay is a short piece of writing. Argumentative writing is different from narrative writing, descriptive writing or expository writing. Argumentative writing can be so useful, not only in taking an English test such as TOEFL, but also in sharpening your writing skills. Writing or composing an argumentative essay can be so challenging, though. 

First, you need to know what an argumentative or persuas

Let's tolerate each other!

I read here many blogs lately about the affair in France. I think there exist two radical opinions and of course that these are influenced by the environment, religion, culture we live in. I am average European woman. I planned to visit the UK in spring and honestly after reading today's news I am not sure, if going to the west is a good decission. To be sincere, I am sort of scared and I simply don't want to find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I have thought about it all for some d

Sometimes It's Not What It Seems

My family loves cats. As far as I can remember, we always have cats in the house. No matter how annoying they can be sometimes, but they always chose our house to be their sanctuary. I guess we are just born lucky to be picked by them.

So it really bums me when I noticed that I'm allergic to cats, well to all furry animals actually (and I always say in the main chat room, to all furry animals and hairy men). But that doesn't stop me from admiring and loving cats in general.

So when I came back to

Keep your balance! :)))))

I often heard this fable from old people.

 It tells of a pretty young girl who lived with her parents in a village. She possessed all the merits one could think of: she had a cheerful disposition, was always polite and respectful to elders. Her parents had a great helper in her because she did the chores quickly and properly without waiting to be reminded. After a day’s work she went to the usual gatherings of the local youth and was as fresh as a daisy and first in singing and dancing.

Slumber

The man reclining on the back of arm chair, seems to be in slumber, gets a slight jerk to open his eyes.  “Where is she? She was right here moments ago, what I am doing in her house, when she isn't here. 

He stands up and moves towards the door. He hears a soft voice behind his back, a baby's voice, the giggling voice, or may be the baby is about to cry. He rushes towards the baby without making any noise. The baby stares into his eyes, he picks up the baby, the baby touches his cheek with his sm

Delicious dishes really add flavour to holidays, or rather, no holiday is complete without enjoying the mouth-watering food. Food is part of holidays.

I'm not really a foodie, but I do cook and enjoy food, especially during the holiday season. It's said that you'll enjoy eating what you usually ate when you were a child. I entirely agree with that. I'll cook what I usually ate when I was young. One of my favorites is this dish: Lotus-root Sandwich (I'm not sure it's the proper English name for th

Is it a blog or not?

Lately I have come across here many so called "blogs", which I wouldn't be able to call the blogs even in my wildest dreams, so let me tell you in short my opinion about something I am able to call THE BLOG.

In your blog you can write about what you do lately, what is just right now bothering you, what you have experienced, about your hobbies, places you have visited, people you admire, you can share poem you composed etc. Blogging is about expressing yourself, your opinions, ideas on particular

We were told that the trip to the Floating Market was going to take only about 1 and 1/2 hour, but, honestly, I believed it was more than than.
