Here I sit, wondering how do I start my posts. “Where do I begin?” And it hit me…That’s the theme song of a popular movie of the 70s. If you have not listened to it, please do. You’ll thank me for this.
1)Wonder: Now that’s a word to ponder upon.
I wonder what she thinks of me.
Babies seem to look upon the world with wonder. Have you caught them looking at everything with their eyes wide open in near total amazement.
There are seven wonders in this world like the Taj Mahal, in India. Some are man-made and some are natural wonders.
I have a nephew who irritates his dad no end. My nephew is addicted to video games. His dad says “The boy is a medical wonder! He has been surviving on potato chips for years!
2) Look at this expression: ‘eyes wide open’
(stay alert and be aware of your surroundings) The platoon leader instructed his men to keep their eyes wide open. Intelligence reports had suggested that the enemy troops had been seen nearby.
He took a risk by starting his business venture with a man he knew was not trustworthy. So he walked into failure with his eyes wide open.
3) Both potato and tomato have ‘a’ in the middle. They are pronounced differently. I am not using the international phonetic script to show the difference as many might not be familiar with this script.
Potato: poh-tay-toe Tomato: toe-ma-toe
The ‘tay’ rhymes with ‘hay’ and the ma as when you say “Ma, I’m hungry.’
I hope you got that right.
4) When someone says ‘Good morning’ you also say ‘Good morning’ in reply. If you are greeted with a ‘How do you do’ reply with a ‘How do you do’. These are just civil exchanges when you see someone and don’t need detailed answers.
5) When someone asks ‘How are you?’ you reply ‘I’m fine, thank you.’ And be polite enough to ask how the other person is feeling by adding ‘And you?’ ‘I’m fine, thank you. And you?’ You could also say in reply ‘I’m doing well, thank you. And you?’ Nowadays, especially young people say, ‘I’m okay’ or ‘I’m good.’
6) The reply to ‘Goodbye’ is of course ‘Goodbye’ showing the end of a conversation especially when a person or some people are leaving. Today we also say ‘bye’ or ‘bye-bye’, ‘see you later’ or ‘until we meet again’ This phrase made me remember Leonardo da Vinci’s favourite parting shot in the RPG game Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader, ‘Arrivederci il mio amico’ which is Italian for ‘Goodbye my friend.’ Maybe our ‘see you’ is from the Italian (originally Venetian) ‘Ciao’ which is actually pronounced differently as (/tʃaʊ/ CHOW) and is used to say both ‘Hello’ and ‘Goodbye.’ By the way, did you know ‘Goodbye’ comes from much earlier phrase ‘God Be With You’ which was told to people going away especially on a journey fraught with dangers.
7) Fraught: (Pronounced ‘Fra-aw-t’ ) Something that is dangerous or unpleasant or that which makes you worried or stressed.

Tariffs, Tariffs and more Tariffs! That’s the only thing that’s on everyone’s lips these days. That and the bombs that countries throw at each other with the ensuing taunt ‘Who’s your Daddy now, uh?’ Oh, the good old days when you were chided for ogling at a bombshell and didn’t have to run to the bomb shelter yet again.
What’s the difference between a tariff, a tax and a duty?
Tariff is tax levied on imported goods. President Trump imposed a tariff of 145 % on certain goods from China. No, I am not been jocular nor am I fibbing.
Tariffs can also be a list of prices for various services on a hotel bill. ‘I had to put up in a seedy joint and was shocked by their tariff when I checked out.
Duty: 1) Duties can be charged on both local and imported goods, for example, ‘We have imposed a Customs Duty of 20% on Chinese face masks.’ First Covid, then masks!
2) It is my duty to serve my country.
3) Inspector Clouseau used to say ‘When duty calls, …..
Tax:
1) Toll tax has been reduced in some sections of this highway.
2) Yours Truly pays nearly 20% of every subscription to His Majesty’s government as Corporate Services tax.
3) Now that we can file taxes online, tax filing is not so taxing as before.
4) A little Kashmiri girl wrote a complaint to the Prime Minister Modi. ‘We kids are taxed with too much homework after school.’
5) In 1773 American Revolutionaries destroyed 340 chests of tea at Boston harbor because the British had imposed a monopolistic tax on tea. ‘We don’t care for your cuppa,’ they declared. They thus celebrated what came to called the Boston Tea party with many thereby proving they were not teetotallers- not by a long shot. Pretty taxing time for the British.
CHIPS are the rage these days. I don’t mean the potato chips which are a must have for serial binge watchers or fans during cricket matches. I am talking about those tiny microprocessors needed for mobile phones, TV sets, washing machines, automobiles, rockets and anything electronic.
2) They say he is a chip of the old block. It means he is very much like his father.
3) Poker chips are small discs used in a casino instead of money.
4) He chips away at large blocks of wood to create beautiful figurines. His father was a chippy (carpenter- common term in Australia and UK)
5) Do you know the cute comic character Chip? And his friend Dale? They are chipmunks.
6) There is a chippy at the end of this street. (chippy- a fish-and-chip shop)
7) He’s been a bit chippy ever since he lost his job. (defensive and a bit hostile)
8) When the chips are down, a tough guy does not break down. He keeps going until the worrisome situation is overcome.
Prepositions: Words that show where a person or thing is, at what time and which direction
He said he was going for a walk on the bridge. They later found him floating in the river below. Poor man. (Like Luca Brasi in The Godfather, ‘he sleeps with the fishes now.’)
‘Polly, put the kettle on means put it on the stove not wear it on your dress!’
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
As the explorer sailed for the horizon, he thought of Ulysses who had said ‘yet all experience is an arch wherethro’ Gleams the untravell’d world.’
The Tel Aviv airport was closed as Israel had shut down the airspace above it. So, we took a bus to Egypt. At the border, after the immigration formalities, we hopped on to some cabs and were dropped off at Cairo airport. From Cairo we flew by an Indian Airforce C-130 Transport aircraft to Delhi.
Grade:
1) His father said, “Oh, he always gets the top grade in English, although I can’t say the same for Math.
2) The civil engineer said, ‘We always use high quality grade steel and cement in our constructions.
3) This classified information is for someone far above your pay-grade
Giving Directions:
Mr. Biker: Excuse me Sir, could you tell me how to get to the Apple Service Centre?
Passer-by: Sure. Keep going down this road till you come to a huge roundabout. Take the right there on to Sardar Patel Road. In about a kilometre, you will come to the Tata showroom. Just opposite to it is the Apple Service Centre.
Mr Biker: Thank you. Have a good day. 
Passer-by: You’re welcome. Good day to you too.
