Couple of days back..i came accross 2 words which means the same but different spellings..

there are so many words in english language which have same pronunciation but completely different meaning and spelling...which therefore concludes that english is rather confusing (or rather confused )and a funny language....

(this is actually only to prove a point....tht v do anything and everything tht is stylish and "in" without thinking wat we r losing out on is the actual knowledge we need to absorb in....I find hindi, guajrati news paper boring to read jsut bcoz it takes me much longer time to read...so i hav actually switched on to english paper...

Although its a very important language today...but wat we r doing as Indians..is tht we are forgetting our mother tongue/language...

For egs...go to any southern states...and you will know tht ppl there dont know our national language...they either prefer to use local language or thn English....its a shame on our part to not know our national language....On the other hand....countries like china, japan, france, germany, etc...spk their language only....majority do not know englsih...which makes it even more necessary to learn the language and thn go to tht country.....

Its how we treat our country....the country will treat you the same way...so v shud stop cursing India and its culture...rather get real...and learn hindi....at the least...(many ppl tht  i know spk only english...even at home...and wen they spk hindi..u get to know tht they r illiterates in this language....)

this goes even for our international models...1 of them is carol gracious...pathetic hindi is wat she spks ...shes like the child struggling to remember the english words to put it in a sentence...and still fail poorly...with grammar going haywire and changing the entire meaning of the sentence...

I am jotting down few...do put in words if u remember n i will add it to the list...
