English Sentence formation explained in Kannada

ಆತ್ಮೀಯ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳೇ,      ಇವತ್ತು   ಇಂಗ್ಲೀಷ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ  ವಾಕ್ಯ ರಚನೆ (sentence formation) ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಾವು ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳೋಣ.      ಸರಳವಾಗಿ ವಾಕ್ಯ ಮಾಡಬಹುದು. ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಕರ್ತೃ, ಕರ್ಮ ಎರಡಂತೂ ಇರಬೇಕು. ಉದಾ: I ate. ನಾನು ತಿಂದೆ.  ಇಲ್ಲಿ I ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಕರ್ತ.  ate ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಕರ್ಮ. ಆದರೆ ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯವಾಗಿ ವಾಕ್ಯಗಳು ಇನ್ನೂ ವಿವರವಾಗಿ ಇರುತ್ತವೆ. I ate Idlies. ನಾನು ಇಡ್ಲಿಗಳನ್ನು ತಿಂದೆ. ಇಲ್ಲಿ Idlies ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು object ಎಂದು ಕರೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಯಾವ ಪದದ ಮೇಲೆ ಕರ್ಮವು ಫಲ ಕೊಡುವುದೋ, ಪ್ರಭಾವ ಬೀರುವುದೋ ಅದು  object. ಇನ್ನೂ ವಿವರವಾಗಿ ವಾಕ್ಯವನ್ನು  ರಚಿಸಿದರೆ... I ate Idlies for breakfast. ನಾನು ತಿಂಡಿಗೆ ಇಡ್ಲಿಗಳನ್ನು ತಿಂದೆ. I ate Rice Idlies for breakfast. ನಾನು ತಿಂಡಿಗೆ ಅಕ್ಕಿ ಇಡ್ಲಿಗಳನ್ನು ತಿಂದೆ. ಈ ರೀತಿ ನಾವು ಮೊದಲು ಸರಳ ವಾಕ್ಯ ರಚಿಸಿ ನಂತರ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ವಿವರಗಳನ್ನು ಯುಕ್ತ ಜಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇರಿಸಬಹುದು. ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು ಅಶೋಕ್

My Views on Education

When I use the term education, I tend to define it within certain parameters. This way I keep my discussion on this vast subject limited and focused. Hopefully clear too. So here goes.. Education can become a universal concept, only when it is accepted as an empowering tool universally. For eg I stay in a rural part of India, where the education isnt considered to be so important especially because many of the parents are either farmers or poorly educated. They havent seen education bring any value-addition to their lives, as such. So in such a scenario, how can we sell education as an empowering tool? First, show education in the light of its usefulness....preferably in everyday life. For e.g. if a kid were to go to a shop, and tell the shop-owner what its mother has told him to get...4 packets of CCC shampoo. If the shampoo costs 2 rs. per packet, how much would the kid have to pay for 4? It needs to use multiplication and deduce that the order costs 8 Rs. There....that's

When to use the prepositions 'for' and 'of'?

Sorry....It has been a long time since we posted an article here. We will try to keep up....And thanks for your well wishes. Today, let us see the usage of 2 prepositions 'for' and 'of'. We must use 'for' : when we describe the reason for which we do something;when we give an example; when we indicate a sense of owning. E.g. 1) I bunked the classes for watching my favourite hero's movie. 2) Sree Rama is a good example for an ideal son. 3) This call is recorded for quality purposes only. 4) This car is booked for the Wadiyar family. But wait. Example 2 can also be rewritten using 'of' ! 5) Sree Rama is an example of an ideal son. So its important to know when we can use 'of'. If we want to highlight what is on the left hand side of the preposition then we must use 'for'. On the contrary, if the Right Hand Side is more important, use 'of' (Like in the example No. 5). Is it clear? Now, 'of' can als

Techniques to create quality in work

In the next few articles, let's see some techniques to create quality in work. Writing :- By writing we make ourselves clear and committed. Discuss.....throw around ideas....catch the ones you feel are practical. But finally write them  down. We can organize our thoughts by writing. We can focus on our goals repetitively by writing. We can convey clearly by writing. We can remove emotions by writing....because "Emotions are the muddy waters of intellect."  Head is not designed by nature to keep information for a long time. The longer you keep it there, it changes into something else and nobody can create stable work out of changing goals and thoughts! Thats why we should write. If you want to see a live demo of the effectiveness of writing, listen to the  audio where i first spoke out everything i felt about 'writing'. To be contd....

What do I mean by 'quality work'?

Quality, i believe, depends on the team at work. So i cant define  quality for each & every work. But, I attempt to define quality in general that is commonly needed in each & every work. Here are the fundamental features of quality work:- 1. Simple :- means clear, functional, easy to understand & doesnt put stress on the brain..... 2. Stable :- The creator of the work feels confident delivering the work, the recipient or user of the work does not feel left out or hopeless at any point. 3. Concise :- I mean that the boundaries of the work are defined clearly...in terms of time and tasks. Therefore the work quality can be rated in a simple and clear manner. 4. Evolving :- For work that is repetitive, as the team gains experience, the quality of work also keeps evolving. This makes the work an active thing instead of a dead one.

What is quality?

“Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort”. Quality, simply put, reflects the character of a person, product, or service. Quality can be rated as up to the mark or not up to the mark. There is nothing like good or bad quality. Instead, we set a benchmark for ourselves and regularly measure our work against that benchmark. Therefore, quality is highly dependent on the individual or team that is at work. “Quality is doing the right thing even when nobody is looking.” “Quality is not an act. It is a habit.” Next: When we say `quality work’, what do we mean? Source for the quotes: Quality Quotes - Brainy Quote For any related queries, message directly to me or share them in this group.
