"I won't drink this glass of water as someone has already drunk out of this glass" or "I won't drink this glass of water as this glass has been drunk out of" but the easiest (in verbal use) would just be "could i please get a fresh one, this glass has already been used...; this glass has...

Don't mean to be nitpicking but to be correct, I believe it should be "i will not eat this banana because its already been eaten by someone else"

Good idea to start this thread. Perhaps it will draw out those who feel out of their depth when confronted with English, written or spoken. The best way to improve your language skills is to read, read and read some more. Anything you can get your hands on, be it a newspaper, comic book...

Why NOT to feel proud to be an Indian I could go on and on about the things that DO NOT make me proud of India. But I will stick to the major issues I have (and please, I know that no country or society is perfect, all systems have flaws, but since we are talking about India here…) (CHILD)...

Hi Shweta, Please feel free to loose the "ji"! Just Seema will do nicely!:) (Unless the "ji" is a compulsory form of decorum to be used on this forum? I apologise for not being very knowledgeable about the social intricacies used on indian forums) My feelings exactly! I am glad I don't...

This is for all my fellow sisters on Jatland (although I know you don’t need to reminded about how special we women are!;)) AND for all the men so they will understand about what a wonderful thing a woman is....:D Why are you crying, a young boy asked his Mom? "Because I'm a woman," she told...

Hi Samar, This jatni went to back to the homeland to get herself a "pukka jataan ka chhora":D Believe you me, I am very hardcore when it comes to being a Jat; its part of my identity. As Mr. Kadian rightly pointed out "Once a Jat, always a Jat":)

I recently watched a documentary about the caste system in India and got into a discussion with my husband :mad:(also a Jat btw but unlike me, not just born but also bred in India). I thought it would be interesting to find out the views of fellow Jats about this subject, especially those of...

"Empowering women is a noble goal but empowering women by victimizing men is gross injustice." Technically, on paper, I am not an Indian Citizen but I suppose I will always remain Indian in heart and soul, and above all a proud Jat(ni). I am nevertheless concerned about issues that have an...

Liberation = Transformation If you want me to tell you what a nation is like ... tell me the position of women in that country. (Jawaharlal Nehru) With all due respect to you and your beliefs, I am a woman and a Jat and I beg to differ with you, in part. No one can just “brainwash” you into...

I for one do agree with you completely. It's amazing how easily we start to differentiate. I think its bad enough we do that on a national level - I haven't lived in India since I was 5. So many times it has happened that when coming across someone who looks like they might be Indian and ask...

Hi Sandeep, My thoughts exactly. Thanks for the moral support!:)

I have seen the movie and the concept is indeed worth following. My personal belief is that if possible, we should try to somehow give meaning to this life we have been given. Not just cruise along and just exist, but to try and make a difference. And you don't have to start by trying to move...

I wasn't banned Hi Sumit, I wasn't banned from the site. I just replaced the original post with the present text after the initial responses I got. The discussion was about the misuse of section 498a of the IPC, the dowry harassment act, to settle personal scores and in our particular...

I suppose I made a mistake by using this forum. Trying to address a current social problem in India by giving a personal example, seems to have been considered as "airing ones dirty linen in public". I wasn't after gaining any sympathies nor was I presenting a "holier than thou" image. The...
