Politics and the English Language by Orwell
In "Politics and the English Language", Orwell provides six rules for writers:
* Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
* Never use a long word where a short one will do.
* If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
* Never use the passive where you can use the active.
* Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent....

Should We Manipulate Our Dreams?
A comment on Should We Manipulate Our Dreams?
"Normal dreams are normally unpleasant."
Dear Sir,
I am so lazy to read after the first lines of what you have written here. Let me tell you why. First of all I can write 1000 pages of text on why "normal dreams are NOT normally unpleasant" and many of my contemporaries will do the same.
I am really sorry but I hope that I am not being offensive about your insights. I am also sorry for my poor delivery of English in this 'small comment box'...

A comment on Defining Prosperity Down
Dear Sir Paul,
Thank you very much for your information but this is not of any help.
I am sorry but please bear with me for few seconds. Personally, I agree much of what you have to say here. Yes, joblessness is growing. There are people who are 'thinking' on how to fetch a job. On the other hand, there are those who have low wage jobs.
True that politicians (either democrat or republican) put blind ears to much of job creation. It is also true tha...

Society needs to change
This is with reference to the article by Arun Gupto "Contraries & contradictions" (july 21). I first of all would like to thank the writer for jotting down such a good piece and bringing into light the disorder and senseless things happening in Nepal.
As pointed out by the writer, it is true that politicians say something and do something else but they are not only to be blamed. I would rather blame the society that we have developed. Until and unless we change our social...

Oh dear woman, do not feel proud of your white skin, it may burn in summer's light.

I am the king of romance and beggar of hatred.
A dying lady is growing on me. She wants me...

Travelling
Life is a journey
and travelling is fun
you meet people and those
people are no different than you
there are amazing sights
and insights,
there are beauties which
cannot be described
you should open your heart
and feel the deepness
of undiscovered lands
you meet people
for a while
and then finally
you have to depart
as city is a lady
and she will seduce
you to stay with you
but you have to leave her alone
and move on
because yet another city is waiting
to welcome you my lord.
