Happy New Year !!!

-

First of all, A very happy New year to all my dear readers and to all the admirers and fellow bloggers around the globe :) Blogging never seemed so fulfilling and happening till the point  I realized that it's just not an electronic mode of writing and representing, but there exist real emotions and pious appreciation and affection for each other. There is a strong sense of belongingness emerges and continues to grow as time goes.
There are certain blogs (and bloggers too) who are much more dearer to me than ever. There is a special bond between us has developed, I believe. Their blogs are the first thing I browse even before I look at mine. :) As I once said on Jason's Blog, These blogs are my habit now. 
To all the readers of my blog at both blogger and WP, I extend my sincere gratitude (A big hug from my side :) ) and really appreciate their support. I want to thank Dennis Cardiff, and Suzie, who were the first of my followers ever on wordpress. and to Amy, Anna and Jason, for being the firsts on this brand new blog. :) 
With this, I wish you all again a very happy and Prosperous new year and a healthy life ahead. :)
I would soon be starting my blog reviews as promised, and planing to come up with book reviews and Podcast this year. Be right Back !!!
Cheers !!!

Today had the most amazing experience as I was invited as a Judge for a district level inter-school competition at The Subhash Excellence School, Bhopal.

While I still think It was a bit early for me to achieve such state, I want to sincerely thank the entire school and its management, for considering me for the same. I had always been on the other side of the table, since I had been participating in varied range of literary events and competitions as this, But today being on the judging panel, I experienced a greater sense of responsibility a person bears then. I want to extend my sincere gratitude towards Hon'ble Principal Sunita Mam, Dipti Mam and Indubala mam. My sincere thanks to dear Himanshu, who had helped me in many ways as a volunteer. I specially want to thanks Respected Mr. Vajpeyi Sir, who also accompanied me in the panel today, And no words of gratitu

English and the Aam Admi

Originally posted on 14th July 2014 A few months back when the Kejriwal episode was gaining its pace in Delhi, And when the “Aam Aadmi Party” witnessed its first triumph, by winning the assembly elections of Delhi, THE HINDU had given a very nice and apt heading to the news piece of Aam Admi Party’s win, i.e.                                         “MANGO MAN TASTES SWEET SUCCESS.” This seemed quite interesting to me because in this particular phrase, there is a use of a very familiar and purely Indian slang in a very “Indian” way. This reminded me of the famous essay of R.K. Narayanan, “Toasted English”, In which he talks about making English, a language of Indian masses, other than its consideration and usage as a language of court rooms and learning halls. He wanted the language to have more of an Indian flavor to mingle with the Indian environment, and to be “wrapped in the Indian soil”. In my opinion, this is going to have a dual effect on the indian society, i.e. It
