<description><![CDATA[There are some beautiful English words that are slowly going out of circulation. If you do a spell check on them you will probably get an error. The word does not exist, the spell checker will tell you. But they did exist in the tomes and diaries of yesteryear. I really do not know why they vanished because the lost English words that I am going to list here are really very evocative and define situations that would be otherwise ineffable. I really miss some of these wonderful words.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The appalling tragedy that has hit Haiti has not found reverberation here in India. The media coverage is pathetic. Most of the print and electronic media is pushing it in as an afterthought. The national cricket final is the most important news on earth. For God's sake!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Today, learn-ers are pro-lif-er-at-ing, but the instruc-tor pop-u-la-tion is strug-gling to match learner growth rates. Learn-ers are in every city, town and vil-lage. And, all yearn for qual-ity edu-ca-tion. But the qual-ity edu-ca-tion givers are few and far between. So how do edu-ca-tion plan-ners and imple-menters rec-on-cile with this mis-match? Dis-tance learn-ing was thought to be the answer. Indeed, it still is. But there is a dif-fer-ence today in the deliv-er-ance because of tech-nol-ogy and Inter-net. The qual-ity gap between face-to-face learn-ing has been bridged as has the dis-tance gap been vir-tu-ally bridged.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have often wondered why we can't have a single time zone for the entire world. We can then all follow the same 24 hour clock. Think of all the benefits it would accrue.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes", said Franklin. The exception list keeps growing. We had Mitchell adding childbirth to the list in Gone with the Wind. And I, humbly want to add blogs (or tweets, if you will), to this list.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Akin to what we see on the roads today, is another type of rage. Let us call it 'Q Rage'.  I have to admit that I succumb to this rage very often. Whether I am at the BSNL counter trying to pay my telephone dues or at the movie theatre trying to get the first show tickets or at the temple trying to get His blessings, I often feel the rush of blood to my head.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Some of you may remember a scene from the Bollywood movie 'Border'. A satchel-full of letters arrives at a remote border outpost and all hell breaks loose. There is a mad scramble for the letters. What joy on the faces of those who receive a letter! It's like getting a little bit of one's home there in the frontline.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Spelling Bee contest in the US has just concluded. As in each year, there was a huge media attention on this yearly contest. However, can we step back and do a rain check? What is this all about? Is it one more American Idol type of contest that is more idolatry in content than intellectual? We know that Spelling Bee predates American Idol by many, many years and any comparison will be misplaced. But here is how I look at it: if it is idolatry in content, I am fine with it but if it masquerades as an intellectual pursuit or a grand scheme to improve the spellings worldwide then I have an issue with it.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We know about silent letters in the English language. Silent letters have been there in certain words for centuries and if we do not act quickly will continue to remain likewise. Why are they there?   I do think that the silent letters are there because no one bothered to take them off!]]></description>
