Due to extremely busy schedule and really paucity of time for last few days, I was unable to write something here. It was a mixed feeling on 26th May when I had left from NOIDA and moved towards my hometown Kolkata. I was happy and sad simultaneously and though I know it's tough to understand the feeling and even I can't able to articulate but it was only like that.
In one mind I was thinking that I can't able to go to GIP(Great India Place) frequently or I can't able to talk most of my friends face to face but on the other hand I was more than happy to get an opportunity to return back in my home town.

Wait for more updates pics and small diary of our travel in Himalayas !

Enjoying rain in delhi

Ah... what a weather for last couple of days here! Sometimes its drizzling, sometimes raining like cats n dogs and soaring mercury has been brought down by weather god up to 20 C.

(Can't refrain to add the photo collected from BBC)

None can imagine this kind of climate here in May when usually sun is beating down around all the place. Unfortunately I need to come to my office as there is no more leave has left hence can't enjoy fully but still sometimes find the glimpse of it while coming outside from the office. Might be the following few lines of William Wordsworth is very much applicable though he had written these for his native land

There was a roaring in the wind all night;

The rain came heavily and fell in floods;

But now the sun is rising calm and bright;

The birds are singing in the distant woods;

My friends are in Mumbai or Kolkata might not enjoy this rain as much as we are enjoying here but it's true that rainy season in Delhi are sweet short and hence beautiful!

Aware about the word 'Hopefully'

Use of the word hopefully is always wrong . Hopefully is an adverb meaning "in a hopeful way" and can only modify another adverb, verb or adjective. When we want to express a statement about what is desired, "it is hoped" is always better usage than "hopefully"

Little more about if condition

When you come across the "if" word in any sentence, then be careful about the following about the sentence schema:
If Clause Then Clause
Present will + Base(Main) verb
If Roger win, he will be the first person to win 5 US open successively.
Past would/ could + Base(Main)verb
If Avix failed ...... , he would go .........
Past perfect would/could + have + Participle
If Napoleon had conquered ..... he would have given a new ..........


Please be careful while writing and using "If" condition and keep above simple rules in your mind. We've a tendency to use excessive usage of would/ could but sometimes they are not at all required!

Will Vs Would

Conditional Clause and Main Clause

If I have enough money, conditional clause	I will go to Japan.     main clause
I will go to Japan, main clause	if I have enough money     conditional clause

First, Second, and Third Conditional

1. First conditional:	If I have enough money, I will go to Japan.
2. Second conditional:	If I had enough money, I would go to Japan.
3. Third conditional:	If I had had enough money, I would have gone to Japan.

 

Conditional clause	Main clause
1. If + Present Tense	will + inf / present tense / imperative
If you help me with the dishes (if + pres), I will help you with your homework. (will + inf) If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by three, the number is divisible by three (Pres. tense) If you see Mr Fox tonight, tell him I am ill. (imperative).
2. If + Past Tense	would + inf

We do not normally use will or would in the conditional clause, only in the main clause.

Uses of the Conditional

1. First conditional
   
   
   1. Nature: Open condition, what is said in the condition is possible.
      
   2. Time: This condition refers either to present or to future time.
      
      e.g. If he is late, we will have to go without him.
      
      If my mother knows about this, we are in serious trouble.
   
   
   
   
2. Second conditional
   
   
   1. Nature: unreal (impossible) or improbable situations.
      
   2. Time: present; the TENSE is past, but we are talking about the present, now.
      
      e.g. If I knew her name, I would tell you.
      
      If I were you, I would tell my father.
      
      Compare: If I become president, I will change the social security system. (Said by a presidential candidate)
      
      If I became president, I would change the social security system. (Said by a schoolboy: improbable)
      
      If we win this match, we are qualified for the semifinals.
      
      If I won a million pounds, I would stop teaching. (improbable)
      
   
   
   
   
3. Third conditional
   
   
   1. Nature: unreal
      
   2. Time: Past (so we are talking about a situation that was not so in the past.)
      
      e.g. If you had warned me, I would not have told your father about that party.(But you didn't, and I have).
      
   
   

Meaning of detoriate !

Yesterday I was trying to write the word "detoriate" in a word document and find it was throwing an error( red colored underline)!!
And while I was googling I got the below in one site"Sorry, no dictionaries indexed in the selected category contain the word detoriate." After more intensive search I find the word spells actually "deteriorating" instead of the word "detoriate" which I've written so far almost everywhere!
It puzzles me as it is such a common mistake which everyone makes and thinks they are writing the correct word!
