Hundred fifty one

Today I used backspace more than any other key! Writing about random things is tough. I was reading about the use of " articles" in the English language. It is tricky for a non- English speaking people to use the right articles at the right place in a sentence. My English learning is still in progress.

Hundred twelve

Learning English has been tough for me. Is it a hundred and twelve or a hundred twelve? I get these kinds of doubts. I tried to learn grammar and at the end that was a failure. Learning English for me seems like a lifelong effort

Eighty three

ಯೋಚನೆ ಮಾಡುವುದು ಒಂದು ಕಷ್ಟದ ಕೆಲಸ. ಕನ್ನಡ ಬರೆಯದೆ ತುಂಬಾ ದಿನಗಳಾದವು. ಓದಲು ಸುಲಭ ಆದರೆ ಬರೆಯಲು ಕಠಿಣ. 
I tried to write a few things in Kannada. Google has improved transliteration to a great extent. This gives me encouragement to write more in Kannada. In spite of reading and writing English from the past 30 years, I should say I have little or no grip on English. The effortlessness and fluency in Kannada is a different level. I have done all kind of courses, read many books and wrote many things in English. Still, I don't think I have command on this language. All I achieved is that now I can read English and appreciate a good writer. I can make out good and bad writing but I can't say why good is good and bad is bad.
