Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.



We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?



You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.



English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. You lovers of the English language might also enjoy this: There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word.



That is 'UP.' It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.

And this UP is confusing: A drain must be Opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed-UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4thof the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many Ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP .When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP. When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP .

One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP , for now my time is UP!!

Luxurious holidays in SuperClubs Resort in Jamaica

Did you ever think of spending a luxiourious holiday in Jamaica. Well, there's a simply fabulous all inclusive resorts from SuperClubs resorts which happen to be some of the finest in Jamaica. I suppose the best time to visit Jamaica is in the months of May, June, July and August. From my experiences there throughout the years the best time to go is during June-July because it is not rainy (just occasional short bursts that quickly gets dried up). Late August onward to October is hurricane season so you run a risk during then.

During the June-Sepetember season it is really very warm / sunny and lush and you can really enjoy all the beautiful scenery and happens to be a perfect destination for adult vacations. Most seasoned tourists visit just there in July and everyday will be just beautiful!

I also suggest that you book with Sandals for a nice, all-inclusive holiday. I stayed in Ocho Rios and was not impressed, however, there are a lot of things to do in and around Ocho Rios. If you stay at a Sandal's resort, you will literally not have to leave the entire time you are there and you can go to other Sandal's properties in the area with their shuttle - there are several Sandal's in the O.R. area.

I would suggest that you goto Negril, Jamaica. Some suggestions of things to do - climb Dunn River Falls, horseback ride through a working plantation (my favorite), raft trip down a river - think of a flat wooden raft, gondolier, and a bottle of wine (or Red Stripe beer, if you prefer). There's also para sailing (be warned to do it with a reputable company recommended by the hotel and not just some guy who offers it on the beach - think safety), diving, snorkeling, tours of rum factories (free sampling), etc.

Very Nice Pricessless Words !!

A husband wakes up at home with a huge hangover.He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he seesAre a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table.He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean andPressed. He looks around the room and sees thatIt is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house.He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table."Honey, breakfast is on the table, I left early to go grocery shopping.Love You!"

Totally shocked with the note, he goes to the kitchen andSure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper.His son is also at the table, eating. He asks, "Son, what happened last night?"His son says, "Well, you came home around 3 AM, drunk and delirious.Broke some crockery, puked in the hall, and gave yourself a black eyeWhen you stumbled into the door". Confused, the man asks,"So, why is everything in order and so clean, andBreakfast is on the table waiting for me?I should expect a big quarrel with her!"His son replies, "Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom,And when she tried to take your clothes n shoes off,You said,

"LADY LEAVE ME ALONE! I'M MARRIED!"

MoralSelf-induced hangover - $ 400.00
Broken crockery - $ 800.00
Breakfast - $ 10.00
Saying the Right Thing While Drunk – "PRICELESS”

There are truly some things that both money and MasterCard can’t buy!

A good Joke - Only if you know Kannada

Bill Gates organized an enormous session to recruit a new Chairman for Microsoft Europe.

5000 candidates assembled in a large room.

One candidate is Raghu , an Indian guy.

Bill Gates thanked all the candidates for coming and asking those who do not know JAVA programs to leave. 2000 people leave the room.

Raghu says to Himself, "I do not know JAVA but I have nothing to lose if I stay. I'll Give it a try".

Bill Gates asked the candidates who never had experience of managing more than 100 people to leave. 2000 people leave the room.

Raghu says to himself "I never managed anybody by
myself but I have nothing to lose if I stay.
What can happen to me?" So he stays.

Then Bill Gates asked candidates who do not have management diplomas to leave. 500 people leave the room.

Raghu says to himself , "I left school at 15 but what have I got to lose?" So he stays in the room.

Lastly, Bill Gates asked the candidates who do not speak Serbian -Croat to leave. 498 people leave the room.

Raghu says to himself, " I do not speak one word of Serbian - Croat but what do I have to lose?" So he stays and finds himself with one other candidate.
Everyone else has gone.

Bill Gates joined them and said "Apparently you are the only two candidates who speak Serbo - Croat, so
I'd now like to hear you have a conversation together in that language."

Calmly, Raghu turns to the other candidate and says "En guru, aarama?"
The other candidate answers "Nann magane, Sooryange Torcha??"

;-)

KANNADA MAATHAADI!
