Re: [Assam] Problems in writing English

Ow, ouch!!!
You are vicious tonight aren't you?
Something tells me a lot of anger has been pent up in you A. But why? 
And who could that be who would do such things?

But tell me A, if I weren't here to keep your blood boiling, who 
would keep you warm in this winter of our discontent, with Ram 
steadily going downhill and forgetting who he is:-) ?

Take your pick.

C'da,
Thank heavens that we are not being moderated on
written English. Yes, those old Edmundian expectations
still haunt. And if AKN were to weigh in, I sure he
will cut us some slack.
Now, this 'age' thing intrigues me. I can now take
advantage of it and take refuge in, if I were to write
something, I regret. I can always blame in this age
thing :-).
About teaching English - as Umesh suggests, well!
where did I hear - 'those who can't, teach --'. So, I
doubt, if I will be able to do a fair job there
either.
