Texting: The Main Problem of Our Society

By Kashika Bharol -
Do you text? Do you use words like ROFL, LOL, and alright while texting? Many believe that texting is ruining our development of the English language. (Alright is not even a word, it is actually all right.) Because they are used to writing abbreviations in texts, many people are using words like alright in their writing. Whom does this affect the most? Students. Students who are using these words to text with might get used to writing their essays in this "text language". This could land the students with bad grades. What's the solution? You can text as much as you want, but you have to keep the abbreviations under control. You shouldn't say things like: "Srry can't come 2nite", when you have the time to write out: "Sorry, I can't come tonight".

 Some Abbreviations in Text Language 

  • LOL= laugh out loud
  • ROFL= rolling on the floor laughing
  • BRB= be right back
  • BFF= best friend forever
  • 24/7= all the time
  • TMI= too much information
  • and many more abbreviations...

    That is why I don't respond to messages and emails which use these abbreviations and shortcuts...

My Mom

By Kashika Bharol -
When I'm at school, I miss my mom, Treats me like her sis, my mom. Keeps me focussed, on my goal, Wouldn't let me, digress my mom. Flattered and happy, she does feel, When dad tries to impress my mom. When she is tired, working all day, I go hug and kiss my mom. Finds always what, I'm up to, Really can make good guess my mom. Loves me, pampers me, cares for me, You are my ultimate bliss my mom. -Kashika Bharol

Top 5: Cliche's of Indian TV Shows

By Kashika Bharol -
1. Saas v. Bahu Drama. (Mother-in-Law vs. Daughter-in-Law Drama) This is the greatest common factor of almost every single Indian drama serial known to man. The serial writers just cannot resist the urge to throw in some saas v. bahu drama! This does, however, get very annoying because it's the same plot repeated. But people (including myself) continue to pile up various serials with the same storyline on their plates. 2. Dreams. This seems like an ordinary thing, right? Well, NOOOO. Ok, so just imagine this: There is a heart-wrenching drama track going on in the show, and suddenly, in one of the episodes, the main character's problems get solved and everything ends happily ever after. You are relieved and extremely delighted, when suddenly the character wakes up. Turns out, it was a dream! None of it actually happened, and you are facepalming yourself for falling into the director's trap. 3. Memory Loss. It seems like anyone can have amnesia these days- ESPECIALLY ...
