Ma'am, are you my Mother?

 

I've been a proud mom and always will be.  Therefore, I wanted to write something about my son and my fulfillment about being his mother.  I wanted to share the joy of my motherhood.  But in the end, I found myself writing about someone else's children.

 

Last night, I came across a folder of photos containing my trip to Sri Lanka last September. Something pinched my heart while looking at them.  How could have I easily forgotten about them - the children at the orphanages I visited?  Here I am a

I am starting this post not because I am using commas exactly as it should be. Not at all! The reason is I am learning how to use them properly. In my case learning starts with considering. Being aware of my poor memory I try to grasp the logic of a thing or a process and so I can memorize what is vital.

Some people don't use punctuation. When they are beginners, this is quite understandable.

Though I notice people who use complex grammar yet still almost omit using commas and even periods and cap

Today, I asked a question in the OR (hospital's operating room). I hesitated to ask at first - what if I asked a stupid question? Would my Canadian counterparts look down on me because of a stupid question? But, the attending (a high ranking doctor) said, 'Good question! I know in Asia you don't...but in Canada we do...'.


So, here comes my question: What could be a 'stupid question'? Teachers usually want their students to ask questions. And, a question can be a good title for an article, or a go

MAN GOES FOR MANGOES !

MAN GOES FOR MANGOES

Khaliqur Rahman

 

Summer's delight, God's exquisite gift to Man, succulent with varied sweetnesses, Ghalib's favourite among fruits, you must have guessed what I am talking about. Yes, of course, if you are a connoisseur of good taste, you have.

Mangoes -- here's God's plenty -- are here again, of which one is never enough, neither are two. The truth is: enough is not enough -- at least for me. The mind -- and the body -- is always willing to go for one more, but I have to stop

We were in CIEFL Hyderabad. CIEFL is Central Institute of English & Foreign Languages. On Saturdays and Sundays the day-and-night residents wouldn’t get dinner in the Refectory. Some of us who needed to work to meet the deadlines would decide to stay back. Most others would prefer to eat out and enjoy themselves.
We would eat fruits and biscuits at dinner time and pe

scientists, nerds, friends

 

Recently, I have seen <the big bang theory> ,a  American drama.

I really love this drama and all the 'scientists'  in it. Though, these scientists always call themselves nerd and express that they are pale, not handsome, not poplular for women......I just ignore those problems and think those are their own styles are different from normal person while are more special and cute.

But, today, I suddently recall some scenes of conversation between my friends with me many years ago, when I have been s

I appreciate and value my friends as my family.  I am happy that wherever I go, the friends that I have, considered me as a true friend.  I don't know what I did to them but they are always thanking me for being a true friend to them. 

 

Maybe I touched their lives in a way that I do not know.  One thing that I am sure of... whatever happens; they will remain in my heart wherever they are.

hello. or hi. you can also accept it as ahalan if you speak Arabic, which i don't. 

i have a blog. i mean, technically i have two of them, but the other one is on my native language, or however you say it, which might be the reason for me to use this one less then the other. as a person who one day realized that one of the reasons for god to make me live, was my ability to write. i'm not saying that what i write makes sense or that i am going to be a writer, but i am saying that i can finish a se

Have any of you ever heard of Storybird? It's a fun website that allows you to write your own stories based on beautiful art by professional artists. I learned about Storybird via Russell Stannard at the IATEFL conference in the UK last month. 

 

I just created my first Storybird story called "Like Mother, Like Son." On Storybird, just like on MyEC, there is a monthly writing challenge. I submitted my story to the Storybird May challenge (Mother's Day theme). Unfortunately, this challenge is only

Last night,somewhere in Pakistan,a U.S. commandos ended the hunt for Osama Bin Laden. Do you think that, the fact that Al-Quaida's head was killed makes the world safer, or on the opposite, should we all be worried of what is going to come next as a revenge from the terrorists ?

My friends, i know it's a delicate topic to talk about, and i am not asking you if, what did the americans is right or wrong, or if we can find excuses to terrorisms acts. In fact, i have to admit that I have hesitated a

2346194223?profile=original We must have enough sleep to rest our body and get energy to start our day.  But in our situation nowadays, people tend to oversleep than working and make a living.  In my country, people love to relax, as the result, they seem like they forgot to do the things which are needed... like make a living. When I was working in a company, my co-employees were wasting their time by talking to one another rather than finishing their task.  As the result the work that could be done in a day was turned i
