Importance of marriage - treasuring a relationship Disclaimer: I have read it here: http://www.facebook.com/samuelsrinivas.konakala/posts/466010470112922 Hello all! I read a good story about marriage. Married or not you should read this ... I hope it will help you ! “When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her! With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now. The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn’t have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again. In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn’t want anything from me, but needed a month’s notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month’s time and she didn’t want to disrupt him with our broken marriage. (Continued in Correction section)

'Prompt' game The resounding of the drop of water, the remnant of a thunderous rain, which fell into a small puddle of water nearby, woke her up. All she could see through the dark narrow alley, are the tall buildings in their pompous gaiety and a shining bright full moon. She rose up with her feeble legs, that were exhausted by the journey it made to reach here. Taking the support of the dustbin beside her, she rose up thinking, "I should go find him, my only friend. I should never give up." "I hope I can find him in this city. I want to see him at least once before I vanish" She started walking towards the end of the valley, taking the umbrella by hand remembering the first time she met him on the snowy mountains. Then, no one took care of me. I was left alone by the herd. They were disgusted to see me, an abnormal one born in the herd. But, he was the only one who was not afraid of seeing me. Saying that I was the most beautiful rabbit he ever found. At first I was little afraid, by this unexpected hospitality. But, he kept on coming to see me. You should see his happiness when I came out of my hiding bush, mustering courage to greet my friend. We played daily, I don't know how many days passed by. But one day, he didn't come to play. He didn't come to see me. I waited for him for several weeks, but in vain. Finally, I decided to search for him in the neighboring town and resolved myself to meet him whatever the cost may be. I am attending a course named "Creative Writing" for this semester. In which we are asked to produce a Drama, as much long as possible, But since no one was able to come up with ideas. Our professor started this 'prompt' game, this is how I call it', in which we are given four random words. Using them we have to form a story in thirty seconds. This is the extended version of prototype story I came up with for the words, "thunder", "snow rabbit", "umbrella", "arrogant". Though I couldn't include the word "arrogant" in my story. The inspiration for the story is an anime called "Kanon" Kindly please correct it. Thank you.

What is the word for 'to call' in japanese? あの abhilash さん と *** いい です か？ What should be the japanese word here. Thank you for your answers.So, is this correct? あの abhilash さん と よんで いて いい です か？ I want to say this to an elder person.Sorry, あの abhilash さん と よんで いまして いい です か？ I think this would suit my need. Am I correct?

Is the following sentence grammatically correct? Is there any better way to say this? A diary entry of a middle schooler in India, as he remembers what happened during his summer holidays. He narrates the story that shook his life.

Does " 'There is no other way' than this " = " ... other than this" = "... like this" ? Please note that "..." in the second and third sentence equals "There is no other way".

Is "kotayaru kshiji yo ga nai" is right translation of "I don't have to answer it" ?

I am awaiting to meet my friends from that school. Is this sentence correct?
