Grandparents make the world ... a little softer, a little kinder, and a little warmer.
My dear friends,
My grandfather was a lovely friend of mine. Since I was a child I spent most of my childhood days in my grandparents' place. I spent more time in my grandparents' house than in mine. My house and my grandparents' house were in the same neighborhood. Every day when everybody was busy with their daily life activities, my parents would leave me to my grandparents care. I love my grandfather the mos

Sky inspires me by her stars….
Stars inspire me by their light…
The light inspires me by its shine…
Shine inspires me by its beauty….
Beauty inspires me by its fact…
The fact inspires me to move…to start…
And that’s what the sky means to me…
Every single sign can be a set-out…
every single moment can be a miracle…
Every single breath IS a new chance…
The signs are vivid….it’s time to learn how to fly….

Friends,
Blogging has some great powers..it can entertain, build knowledge and build friends. A thought just came `can we all think of blogging for a cause?
Many of us are busy in our own profession, at the same time many of us wish that things need to improve for people around us and we try to find opportunities where we can contribute. Blogging can help us a lot in (a) deciding issues to be taken up (b) trying to provide solutions through blogging. We cannot perhaps have any solution to financi
I have been an IESOL and IELTS examiner for over 2 years and invigilating up to 10 exams every week and often see terrible cases of exam nerves. While some people do thrive on a little pressure a small minority can not control the anxiety they feel on the day. It is very important that you are ready to take the exam, very often I have candidates who are not at a level to take the exam.
I have seen candidates visibly shaking with nerves as they sit in front of me. My reaction to this is to hav
It's hard to describe what it tastes like. The tree just bears fruit once a year. December is the time this fruit is ripe. I feel missing this fruit because I live far from where it is grown. It isn't available at any fruit stand or market.
This fruit is called wood apple. Locally, it is called 'kwut'.

My best friend in EC is Anele. Almost everyone in MyEC knows her. She comes from Philippines. She is a Filipina. Her native language is Filipino. She's also a fluent English speaker.

If you are a cat lover, you have probably had this experience. Just when you thought you were going to capture a unique or lovely picture of your cats or street cats, they changed their pose. The picture you got was not what you expected, or the pictures did not turn out clear. They are considered a handful compared to dogs most of the time. In fact, you still have the possibility of catching great moment as long as seizing some points. Here I'd like to share with you some tips I've been learni
Hello and nice to meet you all!
My sweet friend Maggie is a lovely Lady from Switzerland. It was a great chance to meet her and I’m so glad! She is Swiss and a quarter Algerian as she said. She speaks many languages; English, German and others. She practices and teaches Judo, I discovered that during a discussion in Creative Minds group. Maggie is a friendly woman; she met me with her family, we talked to each other by Skype and shared many topics, but still I didn't hear her voice! Maggie, Have
This has been a title line on EC and I thought to use it for sharing. I work on career related issues and one of the most important orientations in career designing processes is ability to read `in between the lines` called as `reading for analysis`. Very few try to develop this ability and hence they miss many communications to be effective.
`Pain` can be projected as negative word, like hurting some one or `chest pain`..however, in the given phrase it has a positive connotation. It means `effor
Today, I start writing the first blog for Teacher Tara’s Challenge. I myself have been learning so much from friends in EC. I’d like to say a Big Thanks for all. But I just can only introduce three one of my friends

Hello everyone.
Last month I decided to make a blog entry and i read all the responses I got. I was a bit too much concern about people saying that they make mistakes and they said that they want to avoid making them. I have reflected on that, and I have draw the conclusion that mistakes make part of the learning process and if you don't make any mistakes, you are probably not learning because you are not taking challenges or you're over thinking a lot about the rules.
First at all, I'd like to c
I'm back after a long time. I was away from EC because I had exams.
By the way, My dear EC friends, how are you? I hope everyone is fine and doing good in their life. I was waiting for my exams to be over so I can come here and learn with you guys.
I did quite well in my exams. But my last exam didn't go well. But my grades will tell about my performance. Till then, I have one month's vacations. I want to utilize my time. This time I will not waist my vacations. I promise.
* Point out my mistakes
Some times I wanna be that light white little feather blown

As light as A feather….

as shiny as little child’s heart…
as white as a holy soul…
as vast as the air…
as pure as faith….
Wind is HIS messanger; surely it will take me to

In one of the books on prayers I read about medical schools in US. In 1990, 3 out of 125 medical schools have courses where spirituality was addressed. The no went upto 90 in 2008 in which spiritual lessons were given to correlated spirituality and health. The findings are that the people who practice live longer than those who do not practice it. they have lower incidence of all major diseases.
I belong to India where spirituality is practiced from the word go. (more than 10 thousand years as pe
