Hello, there! 

I often hear people pronouncing the word 'Skype' as /ˈskaɪpi/. Usually, I tell them politely that the letter 'e' in this brand name is 'silent'. Thus, we should say /skaɪp/.

My Sparrows

    I shifted into a new house with my parents. It was a first floor house with a nice veranda and a terrace. After all the unpacking of things,  we settled in  a few days.  Soon I realized that we were not the only occupants of that place; there was a couple too, a pair of sparrows.

page from my life

The day break is so lovely ! Before the rising of the sun, the colors of the sky keep changing, the varying shapes of the clouds, twitter of birds, especially the house sparrows. They seem to have some sort of musical gatherings, chirping, so loud and sharp.
 Recently, many organisations are set out to save sparrows, the house sparrows which are getting extinct.  They provide ready made bird houses, bird feeders, and provide sufficient information.  They provide information on making bird feeders
