When children were smaller there were times when I had to carry two bags since I had to cater to three ! I used to get pain on my shoulder and neck by the end of the day...However, down the years I seem to be carrying as much stuff for my own use and comfort !

Exactly. Though we feel comfortable with our respective Mother tongue its reach is very less and limited for expressing our views. This is where English is having an edge over other languages. Its reach, acceptance and scope are wider. rather it is almost a global language.

True. Most of us love the beauty of our mother tongue better than any other language. But we know that if we are confined to writing in our mother tongue there will be limited audience. Though a foreign language, because of its universal connectivity, we learn English with our own effort and determination and convert our vernacular thoughts into English and cover a large audience. Fluency will come in due course, by practice and fighting with mistakes.

rambabu replied to the topic What is the meaning of prayer?.
Prayer is a self talk. It is a call to yourself to mobilize all your skills and talents to achieve a status that the unknown power behind those blue curtains expects from you.

For me prayer happens at different moments of life – in the beginning of a day, in the beginning of some important tasks and in the end of the day. Every time it is a silent submission, self-assurance or a thanksgiving. Self communicates with Self silently. He who prays and he who hears is one and the same; no third person. For me God is my Self. Who knows me better, other than my Self?

The facts about the advantages of English are well known and of late it's usage has become more owing to Globalization. English is that language that has the potentiality to wipe off the borders between the countries making the entire world as a single Global village.

rambabu replied to the topic Some Physical traits that attract the people..
people not only see beautiful people more positively, but they also see the beautiful people’s unique selves. That is, people see personality more accurately in pretty people than in people with average or not-so-good looks.

Very true, most educated Indians know English , which is why they have been able to make a mark in other English speaking countries so much so that the next (now) generation of youngsters are even better than the original, meaning we get to hear Indian children living abroad excelling in the language ..

To quote my favorite poet Kalil Gibran
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.To know the pain of too much tenderness.To be wounded by your own understanding of love;And to bleed willingly and joyfully.To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;To return home at eventide with gratitude;And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
This is amazingly the most beautiful and realistic description about the mystery called love to me.
Beautiful..

Thinking over the past is akin to crying over the Split Milk.
“Yesterday is a canceled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have - so spend it wisely”. So goes the saying.

I love all colors. As an artist I should love and experiment with all the colors, Primary, secondary split complementary and many more. Not only pure colors. I love different hues and shades of colors. options, love and preferences of colors do not have even a remotest link with gender bias.

If you have faith in your abilities, if you stay true to the path that feels right, if you channel your passion into action, you will ultimately achieve a breakthrough. In other words, Peace of Mind.

The advantage is that we know the language and can communicate freely. The fact is that not everyone everywhere has this advantage that we have.

The meaning of a language that's considered as universal language is self explanatory. Unless it's not advantageous how it gets itself entitled for Universal language ?
