English is a FUNNY Language!!!

Hi,
Lets learn (or unlearn) english. Mr Big B has told us this a long ago when he said "Bharon becomes Baron because their minds are very narrow", that he can walk english, talk english as english is a phunny language. I think he was right.
We know in hindi that when we combine 2 words, it gives us a third word and the meaning is obviously the bit of both words but never a meaning that is far from the meaning of the words that were combined. Lets understand this:
When we combine शिव (lord shiva)+ आलय (place) to give us शिवालय (place of lord shiv)
again, when we combine शुभ (good, holy) + इच्छा (wish) = शुभीछा (good wishes) so on & so forth
Now, when we combine 2 english words, what we get is...
a bit of sandhi-vichhed (संधी विच्छेद ) here
We know -
"Awe" means admiration, surprise, worshipful, wonderment etc as in the sentence "He is in AWE of her"
"Full" means Full, filled, complete etc etc
"Some" means a little, a few, a quantity
Now the magic:
combine - Awe (worshipful) + Some (few) = awesome (splendid, tremendous) - ever wonder when it means splendid, why is it aweSOME while
Awe + Full = Awful (terrible, dreadful etc)
shouldn't it be awful - splendid etc while Awesome could mean less splendid.
I should have known, Mr Big B was right & english is indeed a phunny langauge.

My Name is Jalan!

Good Afternoon. My name is Jalan (i hope people have no problem with this!)
What is in the name they say! but i think its ALL in the name. Look at the ongoing film & politics tusstle. Had it been some tom dick & harry, no sena would have ever bothered to strip him / her but because its SRK, they are after his life.

As an individual, he too has a right to express his feelings (Guys this is a democratic country remember?). When sena & mns revolt on some issue or the other, they take shelter in democracy then why put him through all the rut?

Its the name that matters. Imagine a situation where this has been with some mr singh in the 3rd room of a chawl in the 5th lane of some dingy locality in mumbai and also assume that sena & the likes take up the issue ALSO (Big thing for them, how far & in-lanes can they go), would you be interested to read the news, before that, would a news print be interested in covering that, even if they do, it will in the last column (that too if they don't get another ad or some more juicy story) of the 3rd page, just like Mr singh's address.

How many such Mr Singh's issues do you remember, even if you suffer from LONG Term Memory loss, i bet none.

So, the crux is - It is INDEED in the Name & nothing else. Sena goes in-sane (rearrange the word Sena you get sane & when you are IN sena, you are IN-SANE)

Signing off!
My name is JALAN

Some interesting facts

Good Morning   Some interesting facts   Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair. The world's youngest parents were 8 and 9 and lived in China in 1910. Our eyes remain the same size from birth onward, but our noses and ears never stop growing. You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching TV. A person will die from total lack of sleep sooner than from starvation. Death will occur about 10 days without sleep, while starvation takes a few weeks. Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying. The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. When the moon is directly overhead, you weigh slightly less.
