English – The Supreme Being

Make Time For Things You Love

Hello readers! We all know that English is now an important language. In India, It’s now compulsory for everyone to talk in English. I am not against learning this language. In fact, whenever, in your free time you should learn a new language. But in India, it has now become kind of compulsory to speak in English. Seems, very soon it will be declared as a national language. Well thanks to the international board.

Yes, I am trying my best to learn this language. I know how to speak in English but the basic and simple ones, not the IELTS. Now everyone speaks this kind of Englishlanguage.

We have social media, where we get all new words. I am following some handles there. Though I don’t remember the exact words (which is not good), but I remember something like synonymswere there. Well, it is difficult to learn such synonyms. But…

English – The Supreme Being

Hello readers! We all know that English is now an important language. In India, It’s now compulsory for everyone to talk in English. I am not against learning this language. In fact, whenever, in your free time you should learn a new language. But in India, it has now become kind of compulsory to speak in English. Seems, very soon it will be declared as a national language. Well thanks to the international board.

Yes, I am trying my best to learn this language. I know how to speak in English but the basic and simple ones, not the IELTS. Now everyone speaks this kind of English language.

We have social media, where we get all new words. I am following some handles there. Though I don’t remember the exact words (which is not good), but I remember something like synonyms were there. Well, it is difficult to learn such synonyms. But who invented such synonyms and why is it called “The Better English”? Yes, your English is better but mine is also better. Going through this, I came across that; never use the word “very”. It’s informal. But why? What does this “very” do?  It doesn’t sound bad.  We say ‘very good’, ‘very happy’, etc in our day-to-day life. Then, how it is not an international standard?

We have many masters in India. One such person who is always in news is Mr. Shashi Tharoor. Sometimes for politics and more because of his tweets, which always go above our head, because it is always in high standard. One such word he used in his tweets was “floccinaucinihilipilification”. So obviously, I started fishing around the google. Thank God, Google is always there to help us. Mind becomes jazzy when we read or listen to such words. He is the one who can talk for England in that high standard language.

Learning English has a juvenescent effect. We edify with frequent readings. We all behave like an Opacarophile when we hear such words. Now you will wonder, what has happened to me. Writing this post demanded a metanoia and made me promote the avant-garde.

Ok. I will not exaggerate much now . All I have to say is that English is a very funny language. But very vast. Sorry, not “very”. It’s  hilarious and Gigantic. Is that better ?? Each and every word has some high level synonyms which we never heard or learned. Each and every sentence has their own idioms and phrases. To learn English is like climbing a mountain. It never promised you a rose garden. But when you learn something, you will feel like the king of the mountain. But you must be zealous to learn such English.

This post was full of grandiloquent language. I flew blind. I hope you like my zany tricks.

Well, here are the actual meanings of my sentences / words :
–> Floccinaucinihilipilification -> The action or habit of estimating something as worthless.
–> Fishing around – > Searching 
–> Jazzy -> Bright, Colorful and Showy
–> Talk for England -> Talk for hours
–> Juvenescent effect -> Makes you feel young
–> Edify -> Enhances brain
–> Opacarophile -> The one who loves sunset
–> Metanoia -> Change in character
–> Avant-garde -> New and experimental ideas and methods.
–> Climbing a mountain -> Not an easy task
–> Never promised rose garden -> Never said it would be easy
–> King of mountain -> The one, in group who knows everything
–> Zealous -> Enthusiastic and eager
–> Grandiloquent -> The way of using language to attract and gain attention
–> Flew blind -> Wrote blindly
–> Zany -> Clownish

Ganesha – The God of Beginnings.

In one of my previous posts, I had expressed negative views about festivals in India that festivals end up with bad news. This line didn’t go well with many people. I have many negative comments but thanks to wordpress, I have the authority to publish the comments which I want. So haters, you sit at home and enjoy this post.

Ganesh Chaturthi; hectic, vibrant and yet peaceful festival. Hectic because we have to do all the rituals, follow all the protocols to welcome Ganapati Bappa. Peaceful because, the moment Ganapati Bappa enters the house, you will automatically feel the positive vibes. The 10 days of Ganapati, not only bring peace but also bring all people together. As usual due to covid, this time too there will be restrictions. But I really miss this festival. Huge mandals, full on lights, staying awake the whole night with friends, playing some funny games so that we don’t get drowsy. We always come up with new slogans everytime, every year.

ek rupaiya ka chew gum, ganpati bappa singham..
garam Jalebi Fafda, Ganapati Bappa apda..
Kaha Chali Ho Goriya, Ganpati Bappa Moriya..
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Ganapati Bappa Superstar..
Videocon Samsung, Ganapati Bappa Handsome..
ek do teen chaar, Ganapati Cha Jai Jai kaar…

Whatever the occasion is, or going somewhere, or buying new things, “Ganapati Bappa Moriya” is a must. Feeling scared or feeling lonely, Ganapati Bappa is always there. That’s the vibe of our Ganapati Bappa. In my childhood days, I used to visit almost all the nearby mandals. Stand in queue or sometimes pay them to get direct entry. My favourite mandals is the one which had short stories in it. I still want to go, but this covid has given full stop to all these mandals. I really enjoyed not only the story but also the creativity, the designs and the decorations. Creating such mandals requires patience and intelligence. Really, hats off to them.

Lalbaughcha Raja, Year 2015

The festival has been publicly celebrated in Pune since the era of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The Peshwa rulers  were devotees of Ganesh, and started a public Ganesh festival in their capital city of Pune. In every city, the view is different. How can one can’t pay tribute to Dagadusheth Halwai Ganapati in Pune and Lalbaugcha Raja in Mumbai. Making a plan to visit these two places is a must. That huge crowd going only in one direction, no coming back and then eating vada pavs and tea. Ha ha, we Mumbaikar never say no to vada pav. Always available 24×7 in Mumbai.

But when it’s time to say Goodbye, almost everyone’s eyes get moist. As if someone is going for ever and will never return back. Yes, I do cry when I see Visarjan (Immersion). For two reasons, first obviously, I don’t want this festival to end and secondly, the way we do visarjan, sometimes not saying bye in proper good rituals. Hence eco-friendly Ganapati idols are a must. But we still have to urge people to go for it. How did you forget that Goosebumps, while performing aarti, that bells gongs and tintinnabulation. Whenever I see any Ganapati Idols, I wonder how these Ganapatis are made? Awesome art work and creativity.

Well, how come no negative content this time? Well then here it goes. I really really really HATE the collection of songs played by DJs during Anant Chaturthi. Why you want to show “Sheela’s Jawani” (Sheela’s youthfullness) to Ganapati Bappa, before his immersion? and why you want him to tell that “Munni” is “Badnaam” (Munni is infamous for bad reasons) for him. Well, this time, I am 100% sure that  “Zalimaa” (Merciless) will definitely give “coca-cola” and will urge Ganapati Bappa to “bhuja” her “aag” (Merciless, please give me cocoa-cola and extinguish the fire within me). Seriously!! Ha Ha!!.. Do check out some more pics here

Ganapati Bappa Moriya!
