 Relationship & Trust

 A Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.

The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river."

 The little girl said,

 "No, Dad. You hold my hand."

 "What's the difference? Asked the puzzled father.

 "There's a big difference," replied the little girl.

A lot of things have been said on “Women participation in politics”. And a lot of steps have been taken as well. India is probably the fastest growing country on the track of women empowerment. The country realized this need much before her independence. In 1928 it was Nehru who proposed universal adult suffrage, when in Britain herself right to vote was not give to women. Similarly French Revolution happened in 1848 and women get right to vote in 1944.

The society was retrograde, because of prev

Hello all friends! Happy Eid ul-Fitr....Best wishes^_^

It is a well-known fact that woman played a key role throughout the history to support man in all major activities involved in the existence. In the case of the reproduction and childcare, the role of woman cannot be compensated for anything else; there is no yardstick in the world to quantify her service as far as the reproduction and childcare is taken into consideration. If analyzed the home realities, she is the manager of multitasking because, to be honest, compared to man, woman seems to m

My first blog entry on English Club, so I had better introduce myself.

I am Australian born, so my native language is English - if you can call what they speak down here "English".  However, my mother was English (as in "from England"), and my father's parents were British (Scottish and Welsh).

I joined the English Club because I have a huge interest in languages in general, and English particularly - because of its extremely diverse origins.  I speak "school-boy" German, understand quite a lot of

Just in one week, we lost three planes in Ukraine, Taiwan, and Mali, and hundreds of lives were lost immediately. The safety of planes is now the major concern of people around the world. I wonder if it's still the safest way to travel by air - though there are always plane crashes, the airplane/aeroplane/plane has been considered as safest way to travel. 

Why are people so concerned about the safety of planes? Thanks to planes, the world is now seen as a village - people can travel from one coun

Short Romantic Story

After returning from marriage party, I enter into room and did not switch on the light, Feeling so tired even can’t stand on my feet. The window was opened and the wind was dandling the window scarves in the air. I close the window and lock it. I return with hobbling steps toward sofa. I was surrounded by darkness and with pin drop silence but still sky-lighting produces a sound and flashes. Still strong sound was coming from outside, due to wind while passing through trees.

Dearest friends,

I am from the Philippines and, next month we are going to celebrate the National Language Month. My country is comprised of 7,107 islands and of about 150 different languages. I say languages and not dialects because a dialect means a variety of the same language that in one way or another two speakers of different varieties of a certain language can still understand each other. Whereas languages is like comparing Japanese and Chinese whose speakers will not understand each other no matter what.

Writing Prompt ~Third Conditional

If I had known that learn a second language is so good I would have started learning sooner. It's as if another mind get into your brain when you learn it and you begin to look at the world from new perspectives. It's magic! If I had noticed how enriching it is to be able to talk to people from different cultures before, I would have made friends as much as possible in several language learning social networks. Reading is a great passion that I didn't know I had

Eid ul-Fitr or Id-Ul-Fitr, often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadhan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Its being celebrated on Tuesday the 29th July in my country. Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fiṭr means "to break the fast" (and can also mean "nature", from the word "fitrah") and so symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period. Eid ul-Fitr starts the day after Ramadan ends, and is verified by the sighting of the new moon. Muslims give mon

The recent controversy over UPSC, civil services exam is a debatable issue which is politicized by political leaders and parties for their parochial interests in Hindi and regional speaking belts. What these leaders and astray students do not understand is that Civil services exam is not a “welfare scheme”, but the most difficult and respected exam of the country.

The accusation on UPSC of being biased toward English has a fundamental fallacy. These students do not understand (and probably do not

Writing Prompt ~ Second Conditional

If I inherited a zoo, I would think about the best way to keep all the animals comfortably adapted to the life inside a limited environment. For that I would first enlarge the zoo's area. If I could, I would bring the plants, food and climate of their original regions.  How it would be really amazing! The animals would live as if they were living in their natural home. If experts in animal behaviour worked in my zoo, I would ask for them to treat the animals wi

A GAME WITH OWN FATE

Part Two 

Meanwhile he was watching the movie, he heard some noise outside. Of course, he knew he couldn´t open the door and go there, since his death might be waiting for him with open arms. On the other hand he was since the early childhood very curious and again his curiousity was trying to beat him. This time he had to be more careful, he realized that it is a matter of life now to open the door and to go outside. He won´t do it at any cost. He sat down on the sofa and dec
