Many years back when I was a student I asked my teacher why do we need to study Literature at all? I was told my by learned teacher that there are many reasons but I would be given only two- one because it is the part of the course prescribed by the board so we just can't escape from it and secondly and more importantly it would help us to understand the nuances of English Language. I wasn't fully convinced so I put a rejoinder to my previous question as why does the board prescribe such a cours

I am 33 years old now. But I am feeling it is just 23 not older like the number. My life is beginning with new things. There are many things that I have to do before 40.

Everyday, I'm woken up for breakfast by Dad. He is my beloved one. But today, he doesn't feel well. And i'm so scared...Cook him some soup, and buy him medicine. That's all I can do. Just sitting here, and thinking about what Dad has done for me so far, I realize that it's time for me to grow up and take care of Dad. The pains he got from the War still alive, painful... Am I losing him as time goes by?

I love reading! One of my favourite stories as a child was Anne of Green Gables. This book was written for both children and adults to enjoy. In my opinion, these classics are the best types of books for adult English learners.
Anne of Green Gables is set in Canada (my country). Have you heard of Anne? She is a dramatic red-haired orphan who moves to a farm in Prince Edward Island. P.E.I. is a tiny province on the east coast of Canada.The classic itself is a bit difficult to read. It was first p

I can call myself a great lover of cinema, and, naturally, I've seen a lot of good and not very good films...Now, I'd like to tell you about one of my favourite films "American Beauty"(1999)directed by Sam Mendes and written by Alan Ball. Kevin Spacey stars as a main character Lester Burnham. The film was nominated for and won many awards and honors.Why do I love this film? First of all, for a significant social and moral message that is being conveyed by a film. I'm not going to retell the plot

There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don’t want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you.When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The Bible said that, “They went out from us, but they were never really part of us. If they had been, they would ha

USED VS. LOVEDWhile a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times; not realizing he was using a wrench. At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child saw his father...... with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?' The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times. D
