For The Grammar Nazis

I love the fact that somewhere in this world, a Grammar Nazi, a protector of languages, exists for me who’ll make my life less annoying and more perfect.
Who is a Grammar Nazi?
According to the Urban Dictionary, a Grammar Nazi is someone who believes it's their duty to attempt to correct any grammar and/or spelling mistakes they observe. Its earliest known use dates back to January 19th, 1995 when the term appeared on a newsgroup. As long as Earth’s languages survive, the term is here to stay. A YouTube video at the end of this post describes them very well.
They take out time from their really busy schedules to fix your mistakes. It’s such a noble job, you know. They bring about change- in writing habits and speaking skills. They teach you how to use a language the way it’s meant to be used. They improve you. Free of cost.

I am a Grammar Nazi myself. What do I do when I get angry? Oh, I correct grammar. When to know a Grammar Nazi is drunk? When they’re sending texts with messed up grammar. Yes, even when they're in a hurry, these creatures remember to meticulously add that little a-bit-insignificant-to-the-rest-of-us full stop.
Each Grammar Nazi makes this world more perfect. More sophisticated. More peaceful for other Grammar Nazis. Their clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habits of yolo, brb, ilu and ttyl. They are at a higher plane of consciousness than the rest of us when it comes to using the languages well. They lead less stressful lives. At least those living in countries where spelling mistakes are not common in almost every other billboard and banner live less stressful lives.
They are not narcissists. When they correct your grammar, they are not trying to prove they are superior or anything. They are letting you understand that more easily.
Adjectives such as spoilsport and irritating are attributed to them, but come on, they are only doing their duty as a human being. The duty enshrined in the principle, “if you’re putting up with something wrong being done, it’s no less than actually doing it.”
Grammar Nazis help you become more humble and self-aware. They want you to admit your mistakes humbly. Learn the lesson that you’re not perfect and you make mistakes. Although they forget that you’ve already learnt that lesson many times over, mind you, they’ll never forget their grammar. Not in your life, at least.
Never question their grammar. You could be setting yourself up to go on a guilt trip wondering what exactly did you learn your English classes all your life. And if you really want to annoy them, go ahead and mess up dose spelings. Forget to insert those silly symbols you see in the special symbols keypad hell with all of that just reply them in emojis. They can’t correct emojis. And then watch them burn. Metaphorically, that is.
So, do you want to do this noble act?

excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude

"If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way." Martin Luther King Jr said that. When you think of excellence, words like being the best, being closest to perfect and being exceptional in whatever one does, flash through the mind. It is not a skill that is inborn in some and acquired by others, like writing or painting. It is an attitude that you develop in yourself. The habits that make you, you. Yes, excellence is a part of you. The attitude of being extremely good at whatever you do, and doing it with utmost hard work and dedication, is excellence. You better yourself. Fix mistakes. Do your best. Seek greatness. All the time. That is what marks you from the rest. The will to dream. The striving to achieve great feats. Refusing to settle for mediocrity. Doing what nobody else has done. Pushing boundaries of possibility. Breaking barriers. Going where no soul has been. Excellence gives satisfaction to the heart, and success comes automa...

Did We Score A Goal?

Around a month back, the football frenzy that the FIFA World Cup was, concluded. Many fans were disappointed while many others rejoiced even as Germany led a dream run to glory . For many players this journey came to a rather abrupt and discordant end. History repeated itself, though on a much grander scale, big dominating names failed to meet expectations while beautiful and good football helped some underdogs taste remarkable, unprecedented yet short-lived successes. The FIFA World Cup Brasil 2014 was perhaps the most viewed event ever in the history of mankind(Whoa!) For me though, it did not mean much. Not that I did not enjoy the beautiful game that football is (arguably the most beautiful and by far the most popular game in the world) once in a while, but I merely stand for the fact that five in every seven people worldwide do not follow it. In addition, the remainder two in every seven people were largely unaffected by the outcome of the event, and went on perfectly well...

nightmares

With mad purpose I break tonight, remembering the phoenix that died trying to rebirth. It is the same story, the one with a different character, but the same actor. Night has broken. Shambles of mental monologues have disintegrated into complicated dialogues with no point. This is the syncope I keep trying to pronounce — the loss of sound from within the words, where one eats up parts of the word in course of habit, and I eat up parts of my sentences, in course of poor habit. An incomplete nightmare, always leaving the possibility of its completion as a prospect of horror. Desolation inviting loneliness. A melody that glitches in the middle, a song that sings to itself, recalling its words from the echoes, but never quite getting them right. This is most definitely a trance. I am not awake. Silence hears the universe call out for hope, the distance fading it all. The universe continues anyway. The coherence still broken. The words still haphazard, but not quite. ...
