This is a true story that happened with my mom one year ago.

One day, it was October or November, at 8-9 pm o`clock I was coming back from the city to home in the village. And as always the way to home was going through the forest. It was dark there. And in each hand I carried a bag, so I could not use a flashlight. It was very quiet inside forest, because of absence of wind.

And suddenly, right in the middle of my way to home, I heard the steps of 2-3 creatures behind me... I started to walk fast

Precious

Oh precious,

 Ask people; from my hands,

 you drop and drift away!

Oh precious,

If you come, I might take some failure

I feel the secret of wanting

If only you know my longing to you!

The story of love will go away

They are just seasons of spring.

Moreover, there will be no drought or dryness.

I will round up all those failures.

Oh precious, can you feel that?

Writing Challenge: A News Report

Hi bloggers and everyone who likes writing. :)

I’m sure all of you know what passive voice is. Passive voice can change the focus of interest by placing the object at the beginning of the sentence. Subjects are often omitted in the sentence as they are usually unimportant, unknown, or obvious.

Passive voice is commonly used in news report. Hence, for practicing the passive, I challenge you to write a news report. :)

Here is your task:

1.  Choose a topic of your interest, then make a title of your ne

Dé.jà vu

Dé.jà vu

I was waiting for her in the hotel lobby, where I had to have a short stay as a transit passenger.  I did not give her the time, but I e-mailed only the name of the hotel in which the airline was going to provide me the lodging. I had nothing to do specifically there in the hotel, so I came down to the lobby restaurant made myself comfortable in a sofa from where I could keep an eye on the entrance of the hotel.  The contents of the e-mail I sent to her were echoing in my mind:

You're so... Ish!

Ish? What the :P is that? If you’re not familiar with this term yet, don’t worry. You’re not alone. Don’t be fooled by it either because you may know ‘-ish’ as a suffix (a group of letters found at end of a word and used to change or modify its meaning), but this word is actually a form of a very short reply.

Ish is an adverb used in informal conversational English which means ‘slightly’ and regarded as a reply to a question. And if you’re into English TV shows like I do, you’ve probably heard th

Golden Tear

Following is my another blog became alive from my thoughts on the motivation of Eva's Writing Challenge)

I phoned her whether she would be able to come to see me.  I was wondering if I might be turned down, but instead my request was wonderfully accorded to.  I was surprised how could it happen, in spite I was hoping it to be happened that way.  She never responded to me like she did that day.  I was afraid she might not feel the pleading in my request.  I was thinking, trying to understand her i

That day the weather was good, my uncle's farm house was situated 5 km far away from his sister's house. and, he decided to get b

Juggernaut

In the middle of the night I woke up lying on the path in the dark forest. Suddenly I heard the steps coming - almost running to me. But I could not see him clear. Just two X-ray eyes on the background of the dark silhouette. Somebody was approaching me. My heart beat increased and fear took control of me. In a while it all stopped and I could finally see, who was in front of me.

Between Night and Day.

Between Night and Day.

When the sun goes down for sleeping,
says "Goodbye, Day" with colorful light.
The sky looks as if it is bleeding,
before it kisses the dark of the night.

When fast the shadows will be growing,
and darkness is wrapping the land,
then all of the stars starting glowing,
and walk with the moon hand in hand.

And the lights turn on in the buildings,
like the eyes of the cats in the dark.
Can you see the lights in the windows,
lovers walk hand in hand through the park?

The trees will be washi

This is a true story and I have witnesses who will assure you that this really happened at the house. It happened with my younger sister. We were in our teen years and summer vacations were going. During those days our state was struggling with power crisis and almost every night power was cut for 8-12 hours, yes that is almost all night. 

As I said it happened with my sister, she was quite a tom boy and always tried to prove she never fears with anything. So we have a big 2 story house in villag

Trick or treat! Halloween is coming and what an appropriate time to share with you an English expression that something related to the dead.

The expression ‘as dead as a doornail’ simply means something is very dead or totally dead. It’s obvious that it’s not moving. According to BBC Learning English, this expression was commonly used during Shakespeare’s days. Other notable writers such as Charles Dickens included this expression in their books. People might have integrated doornail because it’s

" But, what can I do ?, Nata asked herself.

Nata is a very wicked witch who lives on the palm tree near a school play ground and likes to scare people specially kids. And, due to her foul work kids stopped playing h
