We see a lot of things throughout the day, we see them all the time, we notice them some times, we talk about them rarely and we forget most of the time. This is what usually happens. But sometimes, even we do not discuss about it, it sticks somewhere at the back of the mind unconsciously. This is what is happening with me. Maybe I am not saying anything, but I am down and dump and my heart is feeling the pain stoically.

It was a picture I saw in the newspaper ‘The Indian Express’ on late July. A

This is quite an easy question to ask, but not an easy one to answer. It is a question that points out to the complexities of life which we will only come to understand after we have been pained, wounded and scarred.

Bad things happen to good people because they are the chosen ones. It’s the good people who have the ability and capability to withstand the test of time and become better persons. That’s how life sees them.

I’m not saying that bad people will never become good and better. There’s alw

was it the Witching hour of night, have no idea till now! It was happened a long time ago in an outskirts of an old fashioned  town. Where owls went out  and Foxes started their pace and howls just after the Sun went down in the horizon. There dusk meant rattling of various unknown creatures whom we dare to face even in the day light!

In true sense, it was a dark, moonless, mid night! It seemed there was no one sleepless. Normally, Tintin liked to be up at late night but that night she was tired.

No Sentimental Friend

I'll stay forever,

Not just for a brief moment,

I'll stay as long as in me you believe,

Through countless days my friendship will live.

Just don't expect me to travel far and wide

Or think that for you I'll jump off the plane and dive.

No, don't wanna get eaten by hungry piranhas

Or get beaten up by fierce Amazonas.

But though reality seems pretty faint

For you my friend I'll patiently wait -

Not on the peak of the highest mountain,

Not at the end of the deepest ocean,

But in the corner of the silly chat ro

School bell rang. Teacher entered into the classroom. She asked the students to take out Maths note book and announced Maths test will be held on tomorrow. Everybody looks at each others face. Ram asks to Prasad, "Are you ready for the test?". Prasad says annoyingly, "Noooo".

"Maths teacher is strict. She will complain to our parents and I am really afraid of maths", Ram said by shaking head.

"Why didn't she tell us before one week?", Prasad frowns.

"Hey, I have a plan.", Ram snaps his fingers.

As long as I have been in Englishclub.com, I often asked my chat-mates “ What do you know about Viet Nam? ” and they immediately answered me:  “ I only know about Viet Nam through two wars in the past ; French – Viet Nam war and America - Viet Nam war”. I’m proud of  being a Vietnamese because  everyone knows about my country as the land of courage, strong spirit, hardihood, etc... But in this blog, I’m not going to tell you about it because you can easily seek it on many websites about Viet Nam

The state of tranquility provides a ambience to develop mettle and courage in all predicaments of life. Calmness (internal) leads to a focused mind which conduits to discipline. Discipline is followed by consistency and resilience which are the most required pre-requisite for getting the name written in history or printing an unprecedented image in the mind of contemporaries.

The more the number of variables you play with the less attention you can devote considering the time constraints (no doub

As far as I can remember, I never visited my birth place. It's just a name, Batu Pahat which literally can be translated as Rock Chisel. It's a name where I put as my birth place in any document. It's written in my identification card and all official documents, but that's all. Am I curious where I was born? Of course, but I never have the inclination to visit it since I don't know anyone there, nor my close relatives are living in the area anymore. 

I grew up in many places. My parents had to mo
