Mind Your Language

I’m not talking about the TV show. I’m talking about the language. The voice that comes out of you mouth. I don’t know how many of you are proud of your language. But I am. I love my language and I don’t like when someone comments bad about it. The country I live, India, speaks more than 1600 languages. That is a big number. But majority of India speaks Hindi. And it is the official language of India. This is the language which unites most of the country.

But in the recent years this language is getting polluted. The reason is the language I’m writing this blog. Yes it’s English. You’ll hardly find any conversation which is done without a word from English. Even at home, where you mother tounge should be prominent, you find that English words are being used. I don’t say stop using English completely, But rather use your language more than English.

In India whenever you speak in English people look at you in a different way. They see you as a scholar. They think you know a lot and you have good knowledge. So if you are a dumba** and would like to have good impression, Then speak in English. For the past three years I’ve been trying to clean what I speak. I’ve successfully removed most of the English words I use in three languages I speak most. I was able to do this with lots of reading in those languages. Continue reading →

Poor show

What more surprises are there in UEFA?? Good teams playing like minnows and out of form. Now I’m getting used to this. Always expecting unexpected results now. Yesterday It was Netherlands beating France by 4-1. Can you imagine world cup finalist taking four goals…. They should have won. If not then at least played well. Many misses by striker and the goalkeeper I felt was a spectator. When it was 2-1 I was hoping for France to comeback and play better. But they did worse. Rather Netherlands played very well. Netherlands must be on Cloud Nine after beating both worldcup finalists.

First half was watchable but not the second one. Such a poor football from France.  They don’t deserve to be here. Henry missed a simple opportunity in first half and then again in second. The ones he used to get into the net earlier. Now lets see what are the outcomes of worldcup final rematch. France will be surely on a revenge. That match will decide which team will go into next round. I don’t expect a win from Romania. But who knows???

The other match Italy Vs. Romania was a poor show by Italy again. They played well in first half. A goal called offside, which wasn’t, was very neatly hit. They should have dominated Romania. But Romania didn’t gave opportunity for that. They were even ahead at a time. What a finish it was. A very good save on penalty by Buffon saved their day.

Italy and France should be out of the tournament. They deserve to be. Two matches today. Sweden Vs. Spain which should be a tough fight and Greece Vs. Russia. Greece should get a win there.

Cute Smile

Cute smile. Isn’t it?? Sometimes we are afraid to smile. The reasons are the braces or the tooths like above. May also be because of yellow teeth. Don’t be afraid and give a smile. As if no one is looking at you. Set this smile in your memory and recall it in such situations.

Minor changes in blog

I made some changes in my blog. They are minor or negligible but thought of writing about that. I removed the “Recent Posts” lists. Somehow I found that it didn’t made any sense putting there. (Oh….. When did I start thinking sensible??). The front page loads with five entries and “Recent Posts” with eight entries. I could have changed the number of entries but I thought it’ll make sidebar looooooooooong. This means now you have to click at bottom for previous entries. Till date I never noticed it’s written as “Next Page”. But that’s ok. I’ll change that.

The second thing was to show the number of posts along the category name. That will show how active(????) I’m in particular category. I need to improvise on “Free Web Hosts and Windows Tips and tricks”. The “Marathi\Hindi” category I’m stopping completely. I made a separate blog for that. But I’ll retain those posts here. The change will remind me where I’ve to post more. Yeah I forget that sometimes.

The third change was introduction of archives. The “Nonsense Archive”. That will show How much I post every month. So far so good. I’m able to post 30 posts per month. Thats a good sign. Moreover I may get some hits due to the size of archive. Many times when you see the archive contains good number of posts you start reading posts with a bit of interest. At least i do that.

Now have to wait and watch the results.
