God is everywhere. My father is also everywhere. Except for here.

(Péter Esterházy, Hungarian writer)

 it was a warm and sunny Winter morning  of my early childhood  while i got this experience.Before that day we all were talking about it, we were too aware of  this sort of natural phenomenon. Anyway, after a long night it came to us. That time we were living in our old  house which was big enough to observe such type of scenery and we were able to use the chance properly. Though it was a weekday but we were not pretended to move towards our school and my parents allowed me and my brother to sta

It was scheduled that we were going to outside of our country during  Eid-mUl -Azha, and we decided   to visit three countries altogether. As the day of our departure coming closer, my tension and curiosity went up. And finally when the time had come, i found myself in a bit dilemma which existed till the end of our journey. Most probably it was because of my first experience to move outside of my own country or as i am usually an afraid person who tend to be anxious and frightened for a very si

If you want to continue your education but can't afford or haven't enough time to go to a college or university, then you may find following online university courses useful. They are free, so all you need is an internet connection.

I’m walking in the street, as I used to, years after years. A night filled with the lights of stars. Smell of winter in the air.  Yeah, season is changing. Season changes every year. And memories hunt me. I feel that some fine days, I have left behind. Those days will not come again, never, but will live in eternity’s sunshine.

My third story

It was like a funny video on youtube. But I recorded it by my eyes only. This is the 'script' of the 'video'.

Looking out of my window, I can see the main street with very heavy traffic. On the other side of the street there is a parking zone. Last Wednesday I saw a one-month-old kitten sitting between two parking cars. I couldn't hear what it said but I saw it miaowing. It was a very dangerous place for a baby cat near those cars, really. It was totally lost.

THINGS YOU CAN DO WHEN YOU'RE BORED AT HOME:

PICS WITH A STORY

I love my native city Budapest, which is very cosmopolitan involving tourists and citizens from all over the world. It is similar to ESL, you know. I have been going to the same shopkeeper for a long time because his shop sells cheeper and there is a great choice of goods. The customers call him as 'our Chinese shopkeeper' or 'Uncle Steve' although I don't think Steven would be his real first name.

One day just before Beijing Olympic games I went to him and asked, 'Do you think China will win the

This Blog on "Diwali" am writing for the comments of Mickey and Sima on "Happy Diwali" Blog....

I had a nice message from Mahgol and like to share it with you all here:

I have a private student who indends to emigrate into Britain. She is 35 now and a tailor in Budapest, Hungary. Her English knowledge improves fast. One day I asked her to repeat one of the units. She said, 'I should repeat all my life'.

What kind of messages shall I send to the cyber space?

I have been taking part in ESL chat since 2005 and I have enjoyed its universal atmoshpere. So I'll write my favourite stories that can be taken into all over the world not considering asl, you know. They may be foolish or wise, give them some minutes, please.

To hate tears and sadness will not protect you from being sad and shedding lots of tears..

To keep smiling and spreading love will not immerse you in a happiness..

To fight against injustices and conquer will not provide you with your freedom or rights..

To say or write these words doesn't mean encouraging you to love tears, stop smiling or give up fighting against your rights... It's said to be aware ...

Life will not give you what you are asking for so hold your sadness and keep going on strongly.

Interesting Facts in Easy English: Bats Aren't Blind

Discussion Question: Only a small amount of people are bitten by bats each year, while thousands of people are bitten by dogs. Why are so many people terrified of bats?

  The Barcelona Arena and the bullfighting practice can even  be a Picasso painting in the fan's opinion, that is,  so important  cultural figures for the Spanish identity but the bullfighting certainly is not i

Perhaps I should send messages into the cyber space. But will I get any answers?

I'm not a person that frequently is writing things by passion, but I admit that the words have a great effect in the people.

When the people write novels, poems or other types of writing, they can attract the attention of the other people and they can transmit your feelings through your words. In that moments that persons can establish one relationship by the writing and they don't need stay together for establishing that relationship, because the words express of feeling of author of writing.

So,
