Assessee

While reading some documents I came across this word. As you already know how good I am at English, This is a new word added to my dictionary. The attraction towards the first three letters of this word made me to write this post. My earlier Entrecard image showcased that. Then I changed it as I don’t wanted to be a democrat. Neither the elephant to clarify myself.

I don’t want to write much about the first three letters. Reason is as stated above. Take the next three letters ‘ess’. They are pronounced similar to first three. Am I right? I need to learn more about pronunciations. It’s funny that ‘ass’ and ‘ess’ sound similar. First has meanings and lots of uses but the second one is meaningless.

Unexpectedly I am somehow improving my English. Whenever I find such word, the first thing I do is Google the word. That gives me it’s meaning and examples on how to use in sentences. Learning doesn’t seem to stop. The reading I do is so much that I add a word everyday to my word database.

I remember the lessons I used to get in my high school. The breaking of word into smaller words and trying to interpret their meanings by our teacher. Now imagine this word at that time. I can hear an interpretation coming from my high school time to now. My teacher is explaining…
“If we take ‘ass’ out from this….”

Rabbit and Eagle

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do nothing?” The eagle answered: “Sure , why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Most of the time we don’t see the person at higher level working as much as you. It’s a reward to him that he surpassed your level a while back and now can relax. But it’s not a time to relax for you. Otherwise the fox will jump upon you and you’ll find yourself a place in his stomach. These foxes are always hungry. So they can eat a lot. This is a picture I found to be interesting and thought of posting with the story. Although it’s not perfectly related.

Innocent Questions II

I started this series a few days back. I know you are lazy so here is the link to the first one. And now comes the second one.

A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather’s word processor. She told him she was writing a story.
“What’s it about?” he asked.
“I don’t know,” she replied. “I can’t read.”

This was one of the oldest joke I read or heard. But it was a bit different. There instead of little girl an illiterate person used to say that. There is a huge difference between both. You’ll never call the later one as innocence. You’ll call him a dumb person or at least you’ll say illiterate. But not to that girl.

The curiosity during this age is at the highest level. The girl wants to know how to type and how it works. I am not going through other 9998 questions which will make thousands of questions. I don’t have that much brain power. The girl does have. In fact all little angels (or devils in my case at least) have this curiosity. They dare to do things on own to cure the curiosity.

Do you?? I’m many times afraid to go for new things unless under guidance. That is most probably when things are not related to my field. Or things which I’m not confident of. I wish I still had the guts like that of girl. She doesn’t have to worry about word processor.

Handwriting

All those who are literate and know to write posses something called handwriting. This is made up of some lines and curves which form a symbol called letter. This is important for a language to spread. Although some languages have common letters, the meaning may not turn out to be same.

With the ascent of computers, the handwriting is loosing it’s charm. Whatever we do now is by typing. The old documents are also being turned into soft or digital copies with help of data entry jobs. Especially this is happening with government documents. They are getting digital and easy to find.

I have unique handwriting. At first look you’ll come to know that and you won’t forget it. It is one of it’s kind. It’s messy. I wished someone should have slapped me in my school days for my handwriting so that I can have good handwriting. If not good then at least better. Being an Engineer I many times feel ashamed of my handwriting. But then it’s unique. Continue reading →

Baby Beer

beer drinking baby

You have seen baby bear. If not in real then on TV, magazines, papers etc. You have seen it, if you haven’t then visit the nearest zoo. They will surely have a place for a person who haven’t seen  baby bear. But this is not about baby bear. This is about baby beer.

The next generation baby will not drink milk but beer. At my place beer is a soft drink. Can you believe it??? But it’s true. You get 3 cans of 200ml for just a dollar. So it just matches the price of the soft drinks. Normally they cost Rs. 5 less. Just one more bottle extra. There is always a respect for the guy who drinks beer. It’s amongst the friends only though. I’m not one of them. I’m still to drink one..

So how do you like the future??? It’s beerfull.
