Rakaposhi Peak in Nagar Valley
Rakaposhi is a mountain in the Karakoram mountain range in Pakistan . It is situated in the Nagar Valley approximately 100 km north of the city of Gilgit. Rakaposhi means "shining wall" in the local language. Rakaposhi is also known as Dumani ("Mother of Mist"). It is ranked 27th highest in the world and 12th highest in Pakistan, but it is more popular for its beauty than its rank might suggest. Rakaposhi was first climbed in 1958 by Mike Banks and Tom Patey, membe
Have you ever wondered why is everybody going crazy about learning English? Don’t you think things will be a whole lot easier if you will just focus on your native language? Why learn English when you can communicate in your local language at home? Why is English so important that learners are willing to spend time and money just to be fluent in it? These are the questions that some of my students asked. The answer is very simple: English is the universal language.
English is widely spoken in dif
On 14 January 2015, once again I had to travel to Sandakan to attend a meeting. Since there was only one direct flight to Sandakan, as usual, it was going to be a 2-day trip. I reached Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) with an ample time to spare since I had checked-in through my mobile.
As you may have known, it's a monsoon season in Malaysia, so it's always raining, though lately it was not that bad. The flight was 2 and 1/2 hour, and there was no in-flight entertainment. So I spent my

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?"
"Yes , of course ," answered Anaxagoras.
The man said , "But she's cross-eyed,"
"I know ," answered Anaxagoras.
"And one leg shorter than the other , "his friend said.
"I k
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
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
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
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.

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

The true story with a young Christian lost in the temptations of the devil, and the lusts of the world perishes, but like the prodigal son returned to the bosom of his father, in the end, like thief won the right to the kingdom in the last hour of his life. I wish we all learn from St. Magdy Jesse.

We reached Kl international airport around 1am ( local time means Malaysian time 3 am). After completion of
