  Saturday Reading! Norway, a country in Europe... If you ever visit, you’ll often see this scene: There’s a restaurant. A woman comes to the cash counter and says, “5 coffees, 1 suspended.” (“Suspended” means for someone in need.) She pays for five coffees but takes only four cups. Some time later... Another man comes and says, “4 lunches, 2 suspended!” He pays for four lunches but takes only two lunch packets. Then another person arrives, ordering, “10 coffees, 6 suspended!!” He pays for ten but takes only four coffees. Some time later... An old man in tattered clothes comes to the counter and asks, “Any suspended coffee?” The girl at the counter says, “Yes!!” and hands him a cup of hot coffee. A little later, a bearded man enters and asks, “Any suspended lunch?” The person at the counter gives him a parcel of hot food and a bottle of water. And this cycle continues... One group pays extra, and another group takes food without paying, all day long. This means helpi...

 Quote of the Week! Commonsense is not that common.Wear of the elite society "Present generation has progressed to such an extent that people can see and talk with each other living thousands of miles away. Degeneration of social life has reached to the extent that people can not see the sadness of persons sitting next to them.Technology is responsible for idiocy of people.True sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.we compute but can't calculate.We record but do not observe.The internet is degrading the average writting abilities of people.Technology influences wearing dirty or torn jeans and tops often focus on symbolism,class and rebellion reducing woman to mere 'Sex object" -Tejinder Kamboj                (1940 -20??)                  (1940 -20??)

Saturday Reading!  Good Morning   I mean remain Good up- to 12 O'clock only! Divided by a Common Language — The Indian Edition As Indians schooled in the Queen’s English but raised in the Republic’s reality, we’ve turned the language of Shakespeare into something gloriously, apologetically our own. We bend it, twist it, stretch it and occasionally, reinvent it altogether. The result is Indian English, a tongue so inventive that it confuses the Brit, bewilders the American, and delights us endlessly. Consider our national treasure: the dicky. In India, we load our luggage into the dicky of the car. In America, that’s scandalous—something that might get you reported to HR. In Kerala, we don’t just speak English — we Malayalify it. “Open the light,” we say confidently, and it works just fine.
