Hi everybody!
I have a question. Is being egocentric good?

I think sometimes it's good for us to be egocentric... because these days, if you want to satisfy all the people around you, you won't be able to live your own life! Am I right?

A few days ago, I went to my friend’s house, it was windy and the wind had brought a baby dove into my friend’s yard, there wasn’t any bird’s nest in the yard, so we couldn’t put the chick back to his mother. We noticed ants attaching him, my friend said if we left him here, the ants ate him alive, she gently dusted the ants off and asked me if I could accept to look after the chick or not because she had to go to work. “ I like to look after a baby bird but I don’t know how?” I answered.

Walking in the moon-lit night

I am walking in the moon-lit night alone no one with me but your memories, it reminds me the same night the same lane, the same trees, on both sides as they were escorting us guarding us waving hither and thither with the blow of wind, as they were dancing in joy seeing us together.  Yes on that night I was not alone, you were with me, arms in arms closed, so closed that I was feeling the beat of your heart.  I remember your raising of head and looking into my eyes,

  Hello readers, sometimes you can feel puzzled where you should use contractions or not use . Trying to make clear a bit of this issue I want to show  you some facts about contractions.

  Let's begin talking about what a contraction really is. It can be defined as a shortened combination of two or more words. Generally use for saving space in communication. They're expressed by apostrophes in writing. Examples? You have a number of them. Even a few I didn't know they existed. Just take a look at

Hello, everyone!
I am back to EC! 
Sharing with you my original piece.
This is a poem I wrote last month.
I hope you'll like it.

Please read on....Happy weekend!

When there is Faith

Things go wrong, yes they do
Sometimes you think it's all about you
You look at the sky for answers
But most of the time it's in closed eyes in prayers

The travel sometimes go long and wide
Seems endless no matter how fast the stride
But if you slow down and watch inside
It's in the silence that our hearts confide

There are battles

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,

It isn’t just one of your holiday games;

You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter

When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.

I love this poem by T. S. Eliot, and I've learnt to love cats. The poem is made into a song and is part of the musical "Cats" which is really superb. It proves that great people like T.S.Eliot or A. L. Webber can make a masterpiece of any light thing. I saw the video of the musical and was so impressed by the performa

I don't know about other countries but here in Russia each town and city has a special day, it is called the City's Day or the Town's Day. It is a kind of a birthday. Most cities were founded ages ago, so it is impossible to say on which day the foundation took place. That is why local authorities are somewhat free to choose any day.

Our small city has its birthday on the last Saturday in June.This year (just like the previous) there was a grand celebration. The list of events included exhibition

Today, i lerned "active voice".

* i just awake

Now it is 1.30 am at your place,

Your face must be on your pillow, your thick hair must be piled up on the right side,

because you always sleep with your face down to the left, your hands always getting hold of, what is it you are looking for under the pillow?

I want to steal your time, sequester your attention, solely so I can get twisted into the fold of the sheets where your body is lying.

It has been three years .....28 months multiplied by 24 multiplied by 60 multiplied 60 multiplied 60 and I

If you listen music when you are happy it will take you happiness of highest mountain.

If you listen music when you are expressing sorrow it will dip you in Tears Sea.

Listen me I can travel with your endeavors and make you succeed.

Listen me I have strength I can vivify your life.

Listen me I can heal your mental illness.

Listen me I can play persistently in your mind and wreck you.

So make sure choose the good music while you listen that can rejuvenate your life….

How I wrote the blog "Watcher"?

It was sometime in January 2015 when I was in USA, I was at my laptop  (it is actually my wife’s laptop, I do not have one, I have desktop), EC was opened and I was browsing the pages.  I saw Honey Bees activities, "Let's discuss: CREATIVE WRITING 10: THE WORLD GOES MAD".  Dean Coonze novel I referred in the blog was also lying on the table, which I had already finished.  I looked at the activity proposed by Honey, then threw a look at the novel and all of a sudden

I wrote this in Honey's 'activities' "Let's discuss: CREATIVE WRITING 10: THE WORLD GOES MAD" sometime back in January when I was in USA. That was extempore. I am posting it here for the reading interest of my EC friends:

WATCHER

It was Sunday, I woke up late, as usual I called my dog, "Watcher, hey boy come on up!" He came up running to my bed, "Hi, MI, good morning at last you woke up!"

I was shocked, and thought that I might be still in sleep and dreaming.

"Don't look at me like that, this is not

Yes she's gone, everyone else heard about it and accepted the fact that she would never come back again. Even her parents did.

But to me, she will always be in my heart. Reem is alive and she's with me everywhere I go. I know you are wondering who's Reem and why I am sharing such a blog in here? Well, in order to feel what I'm feeling and sense the reasons that forced me to share this blog I have to take you 20 years back in my lifetime so you can relate to the story.

A roommate of mine, who has been living with me for about half year, is nice and humor, but looks extremely thin. 

There is a problem with him that he is really crazy about computer games, and he can spend all his free time involing himself with them. And sometimes he stays up late untill the next morning just in order to get the levels. I can say that he fouces on the video games more than anyone in his life. I just cannot understand why he has such energy in doing this and do not feel guilty or

                        There might be none

No answer in darkness no hopes for salvation

Your lonely hell will eat you alive

Then suffer your misery, your seeming perfection,

Your lonely, lost and forgotten life!

Who cares to give a shape to a shapeless disaster?

To the storm of unwanted, rejected lies?

Embrace your nature and give to the darkness

Then light will end and you will be gone…

And when the end comes, you will cry for help

         All alone, you will beg for someone

 Sarah and Adam decided to make their wedding on Monday. Adam is very mean. He did not want to spend more money on the wedding.  Sarah told her fiancé why on Monday, and he replied that most people would be busy with their work and no one would pay any attention. He told her that they would need her father and her mother. He said,

 "My uncle is the only person from my family."

" But why Adam?"

"There will be no expenses, a small piece of cake will finish the occasion." He replied.

" What about my si
