Long time no see


                   

Hey everybody!! What's cracking?....uhh..Excuse me, long time no see?  Well, you can congratulate me for becoming a mother to a cute little baby boy. After a good sixteen months of sleepless nights, dark circles around my eyes and tiring full day chores, I have realised, what it takes to be a mother. Hats off to my mother who raised me and hats off to all mothers around the world. It is not for nothing that the world bows to them with respect.

And now you will say, 'what about this little few post old baby that you abandoned?' . Well, that's true and from the core of my heart I'm really really sorry. Without his food (new post) he looks so malnourished and pale. He needs the a lot of attention to look plump and healthy isn't it?

So, did you do any reading all this while? I'm currently reading Immortals of  meluha, by Amish Tripathi. Will review it after finishing it. 'Long time no see' is an expression which means it is a long time since we last met and is used as a greeting expression.

Anyway, what's cracking is a slang expression used in place of  ' what's going on?' . And by the way, a few days back a friend told me ' How do you manage so many things simultaneously? Hands off to you!' She actually wanted to say 'Hats off to you' which means 'to salute or honor someone'. Incorrect usage of phrases is a problem of millions of people around the globe and they end up making a laughing stock of themselves.


Do you know the meaning of  a passerby? It means, a person who passes by something, usually on foot. Alright, can you tell me what is the correct plural of passerby? Passerbys or passersby? Actually it is passersby. Be careful with its usage.

Better safe than sorry! Right???
