Wife: Stop watching television! I have to talk to you.
Husband: I'm listening to you.
Wife: No, I want you to turn it off and look at me.
Husband: Okay. It's off--I am looking at you. What's going on?

Husband: I didn't see. What happened?
Wife: Just look at this mess! She poured milk all over the floor.
Husband: I'm sorry. I was watching her, I promise. But I was also watching television at the same time. But n

Then, what's an idiom? An idiom is a group of words whose meaning is different from the meaning of the individual words. 

There are a large number of idioms in English. Some of them are used more often than others. It can be a good idea to use some idioms in your writing. Sometimes only an idiom can convey what you really want to say, especially when you're desperate to hit the nail on the head.

A story from the memory of school days:

Haste Makes Waste:

A hunter had a faithful hound.  The hound always went with his master when he set out hunting.  The hunter had only one son, two whom the hound was also closed.

I've just kept blogging, reading, and commenting for the past tens of days. Yes, I must have bitten off more than I can chew:))

I must be a bit crazy - it seems whenever I have time, I come here to read, to blog, or to comment. I've never been so busy typing on the computer. Even my wife has noticed the change. She had no idea what really happened, but was so sure there must be something very unusual which made me do that like a nut, until I told her we were trying to break a record.

Running Errands

There was a marriage ceremony of one of our dealer's sons, which was held in Hyderabad. The dealer is one of our top dealers, for his turnover of our product is the highest. Therefore, representation of our company was a must, so I had been instructed to attend the ceremony.
