..because English is a very phunny language!

Like most, I too have always wondered what is the ideal way to begin a blog. And like most, I still do not have a clue. However, I have procrastinated enough to procrastinate again, and here I am once more, without a clue as to what is going to follow this sentence.

I stopped there for about 3 minutes, before continuing to write this line. I have a list of topics I want to blog on, ranging from daily events, acute to obtuse observations, my personal take on cricket (which I have longed to do), to writing short tips on anything that crosses my mind.

I was suddenly reminded of Amitabh's "I can walk English, I can talk English, I can laugh English because English is a very phunny language. Bhairon becomes barren and barren becomes Bhairon because their minds are very narrow..." (wont list the full dialogue here, as you might already know it or can google it if you are that interested) and thought why not that be the title and the content of my first post? Voila, here I am finally with the thoughts in full flow.

I just planned to list some of my favourite English phrases. They border on being PJs (poor/pakau jokes, not pajamas!), nevertheless, worth a read. I hope they appeal to you just as they did to me.

Not all sentences make grammatical sense, but they are well worth a laugh. Here are the Wonder Phrases!

English is a 'punny' language and I love to identify the subtlety in it. I am all ears for those, who like me, have an eye for detail. Feedback will be well taken, however, criticism will be shunned and insulted! Awaiting your comments!
