What is the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you at work or in class?
Unforgettable embarrassment I was in 12th class. It seemed like any other day. We were in the physics class and the teacher was trying to make us understand magnetic field lines.He was in his 30s with weird hairstyle and was quite popular among the students.We were half asleep and were getting bored, then out of nowhere came the PT teacher for checking as he had got some information from his "reliable" sources that some boys of our class had brought mobile phones to the school.All of a sudden, both the teachers started checking the bags and pockets of the boys.After checking few of my classmates our physics teacher came to my desk. I was sitting with my very-good friend who was a studious, introvert, shy guy and one of physics teacher's favourites. At first he was unwilling to check him because he knew him well and liked his behaviour very much, but then he did his duty but in vain.Then he found his wallet which was of different kind with a metal chain coming out of it and had an attractive tattoo. He kept it just out of curiosity.The search was over and our PT Teacher left the class empty handed. Now this Physics teacher went to the lecture stand with the wallet and started taking all the things out of it.Then he was stumbled upon a phone number diary of my friend. And on the first page and in bold letters was written BULL-DOG.He chuckled and passed a smile to my friend and read that name loudly in the class. Teacher, looking at my friend :- BULL-DOG hahahahahahaha. Who's nick name is this? Who in the class is BULL-DOG? Raajan you? ABC you? No one? So tell me who's number is this?Class was silent .Then he read the number loudly, written in front of BULL-DOG. And he was dumbstruck."Arre yeh toh mera number hai"(Oops this is my number.)That was his number.The whole class bursted into laughter. And my friend was trying to hide his face under the desk.The bell rang and he left the class leaving that wallet on the stand.And this friend of mine bunked the next few physics lecture.Now if you ask how this incidence is embarrassing for me? Well, i was the guy who gave him that name. P.S - We (teacher and I) are still in contact and still remember and enjoy this incidence).
What incident of your life changed you completely or your view towards people, in a good or bad way?
“Never expect anything from others.Expectation hurts d most.”I am pouring my heart out today.i am sharing u one of my experience that changed my views towards life.INCIDENTI had a friend with whom i had a very affamable equation.slowly he became my bestie (i think it was in 10th std).then we gave entrance exam of dav school and i got selected.i went to another school yet our friendsip continued.then the time came to leave for college .i got selected in nit jsr and he rvce bangalore(one of d top colleges).we promised that we will be in contact no matter what happens.Its been 1 yr of college life and i have realized dat he has changed a lot.i always used to call him but he never did.i always used to remember our long talks on phone but he never did. He would not pick up my calls.he never called me back.i had thought that we will travel the world together.But this seem far from reality.a silence has crept into our friendship.its really dishartening to see how people change.“no body will remain with u in ur bad times but ur parents will.No body will want u to be successful but ur parents will.No body will sacrifice for u but ur parents will.”
When I try to speak English, words don't come out right. How can I speak fluent English?
Most likely you are afraid of making a mistake.I suffered the same in learning Spanish, and I see it as one of the greatest obstacles for my English students. One of my students recently told me he was in a store and wanted to ask in English, "What is the price of this item?" He planned it out perfectly in his mind, walked up to the attendent, and said "wutprsths?" When the attendent (obviously) did not understand, so my student just said "price," and got the answer he needed.Often we may say "I don't mind making mistakes, I know no one is going to throw tomatoes at me" but deep inside we feel that it is something terrible to speak poorly, and so are terrified of saying something wrong. As a result we overthink what we are trying to say, analyzing the grammar and syntax instead of just pouring forth concepts. This makes speaking very awkward. This can even happen when you are alone, speaking to yourself, because you constantly doubt if what you said is correct (I speak from experience)!Polygot Sid Efromovich points out that we are trained from youth to shun the feeling of having done something wrong, but in learning languages we must seek it, because that means we are crossing into new territory and learning. (See the video below, 29:00)When you are writing you can take time to think about how words should be organized - you cannot while speaking. So you just have to go for it. Spit the words out, and if they are wrong, that's OK. One successful English learner told me that making mistakes was the best learning tool, because he was so embarrased he remembered the correction!From my own experience and research and watching others, I believe the only solution to your problem is to listen to and speak a lot of English. It has to be a natural process that you don't think about, which will only come with lots of practice - as with any skill, from baseball to piano playing to speaking.
What was the last text message you sent to your ex?
It was a year old relationship. I was head on heals for him. We were both in school. We both were preparing for NEET.We took a break for preparing for exams. The distance made me anxious. But I couldnt text him,he would be disturbed.The exams were over.He had promised he would meet me(we never went out together) after NEET I reminded him of his promise he refused. He said he doesnt have time.I said ‘fine tell me when you are free’. After a few days he went out with his friends. I just casually said him ‘I thought you didnt have time. He replies ‘ I cannot lie to my parents to meet you’ .It hurt, it really did.After NEET, came more of his ignorance. He forgot our one year anniversay, didnot text me the entire day at night i texted him . Still no reply. I asked one of his friends to text him and remind him the date. After that he replied “sorry i forgot. Happy anniversary shona”, went offline. Did not even reply to my I love you.I became upset. The next day, out of anger I broke up. He did not even try to stop me. Next day I said him sorry for being angry and he forgave. He were back together.His ignorance increased. I confronted one day whats wrong, why is he ignoring me. He replied “I cannot provide you with the importance you are demanding” That broke my heart. I was still with him I loved him.I started doubting him. I did not trust him. One night.Me: Please I want you to keep distance from girls. Do it for me.He: That would be changing myself. I like talking to everyone. I won’t change myself for you.It ended.I thought it was my fault I did not trust him. He is not with anyone. Well that is what he said me. I wanted to get back with him. He refused. He said he hates me. Blocked me on every social media. My last text to him on his second account, which he doesn't use now. Still I texted him. I begged him to come back.He did not see my message. He did not come online. Somewhere deep within my heart I still feel he still loves me.I still love him. Hope he comes back.
What are some interesting "caught by TTE/TC in Indian Railways" stories?
Hope you will enjoy.This happened when I was traveling from Howrah to Rajahmundry (a town in Andhra).As the trip was unplanned, I had no reserved ticket. Hence, I took one general ticket, went to the concerned platform and boarded the train (in sleeper class). Aftersometime the train started to depart and as usual a TTE came for checking. Nowthis is where the real story begins.Encountering 1st TTETTE: Ticket???ME: Sir, I am having General ticket because it’s suddenly planned.TTE: What should I do?(In Anger)ME: Sir, Please provide me a berth and in return I will pay fine.TTE: Okay, Sit here and I will come again to collect fine.(Took my ticket and wrote seat number and coach)Me with some sigh of relief, shifted to my allotted coach.After sometime the TTE came again.TTE: Is 27 yours??(27 is the berth allotted)ME: Yes Sir(without hesitation)TTE: Okay.I was waiting for him to ask the fine but thank god he didn’t (Don’t know the reason,maybe his memory is not that good or maybe he thinks that I am the original berth holder.)MISSION NO. 1 ACCOMPLISHED.After some odd hours the train crossed West Bengal and entered Orissa. As we all know that whenever the train switches States, the TTEs will also change.Encountering 2nd TTETTE: Ticket??ME: Here It is Sir.TTE: You are traveling in sleeper class with a general ticket. You must pay fine.Me: Sir, I already paid the fine and in return he (1st TTE) allotted me this berth.TTE: Oh, Is It? Then show me the challan???ME: Sir, He (1st TTE) told me to pay a fine of 900/- with challan and also gave me another option of paying 500/- without challan. Sir, like everybody I went on choosing later one. Hence, I have no challan with me.(with some innocence and presence of mind).TTE:Pcchhh…Because of these corrupt people our India is still a developing country. Okay, You sit down. (Went away scolding the 1st TTE)MISSION NO. 2 ACCOMPLISHED.After some more odd hours the train has entered Andhra Pradesh.Encountering 3rd TTECrtl C & Ctrl V of the previous encounter.AND FINALLY REACHED MY DESTINATION WITHOUT PAYING ANY KIND OF FINE.Thank You.
