I have inferiority complex on my written communication
Hi , Title of this thread and my screenname says it all.
I work in a job that doesn't require sending tons of E-mails every day. But whenever there is a need, I get super embarrassed when I mix the prepositions of on versus in, at versus in, for versus in and so on. I have listened to online lessons on the prepositions but when I write, I still mess up! Not just the prepositions, my written communication is not that impressive. Oral communication while not great is atleast okay as I have no problem answering interview questions when I switch jobs or day-to-day interactions with colleagues.
Now even my kids make fun of my written English as my writing and communication is based on how I would say in Kannada (my mother tongue). How to overcome such handicap? I want to improve to offer constructive suggestions to my kids in their homework and essays. I read at-least one book's 10-20 pages and newspaper every single day but it has not made significant improvement in how I think. My introduction in how I chose my screenname gives glimpse on why I didn't have opportunity to learn English (through books and magazines) while growing up. So are formative years very important for how to 'think' in English?
Are there any Kannadigas here?

Only vegetable diet with no carbs
Please suggest some recipes which have only vegetables in it. Totally no carbs at all. I only know one mixed veg soup which is made by boiling onions, cabbage, carrot, beans and corn in water. Nothing else comes to my mind.
Please give me ideas. My hubby just wants to eat vegies for 3 days. He does not want to eat things like baked vegetable cassarole as it contains good amt of carbs.
thanks in advance :)

My Husband shares every fight between us to his sister
Hello Ladies
I know its not big issue when compared other ILs but still I am angry and hurt when I remember the whole episode.
I am married for 6 months. We both are working in USA. When ever we fight in these 6 months its always about our carriers. I think my husband needs a little push to pursue further in his carrier. Some time that little push end up in big fight. I always thought these kinds of problem are common in any married relationship.
Till now I maintained a very good relationship with in-laws and his sister. I never had any fights with them. If they say anything which hurts me I just ignore that topic and moved on. I respect them and I think they are doing the same.
My issue here is my husband and his sister has very good bonding I always have a feeling that my husband shares everything with is sister. I dont mind how much they talk and how much they share as long as its not about me. I never had any proof that he was sharing everything to his sister. So, I ignored and dint think about it much but recently in our casual conversation I felt he told a particular topic to his sister then I asked him directly do you share our discussions and fights with your sister.
He dint expect that question from me but any how he answer yes I share everything with her. I got so much angry and hurt. I told him Very calmly dont share our personals with her. I dont like it. What ever it is we have to handle dont involve any 3rd person in our lives. He simply said I will try.
I remember once me and my husband had a big fight his sister told me on our usual Saturday cal that dont fight with my bro, if you have any problem with him share with me I will talk to him. (I thought why she is telling all these. Even thought we fight we will be all right by evening why she involving this much)
I know he told me that he will try to not share with his sister but I lost trust in him.Every time what ever I talk to him I feel may be he will share this to her may be she takes that as an opportunity to for something else...
When ever I rethink of the past fights He told each and everything to her she will pass each and everything to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Since his family is a joint family everybody knows everything.
I feel like what is this? Why these guys dont have minimum common sense not to share their personal with sister/mother?
As a girl in this 6 months I dint even shared a single thing with my mom or sister. I thought when we share things with family member they get complicated.
I dont like my family members look at him any less after I share my problem with them.
Why dont guys think that way?
Do they think we are not that close to our family members?
I am not able to understand. Right now I am so pissed off.I think I am just venting out.
Please share if you guys have any suggestion regarding this issue.
Thanks Ladies!!

In three words I can sum up everything Ive learned about life: It goes on. ~ Rober
Li
Never blame anyone in your life , good people give you happiness
bad people give you experience and worst people give you lesson
and best people giv eyou memories.
From my experience I learnt that from childhood we should be bold and courageous and know to take care of ourselves and know to defend wherever necessary.
In life you should not only work hard but should be lucky also because in many places partiality is there. The smarter ones get the benefit and those who are very simple and humble are at loss.Life goes on, even though it seems sometimes it wont, whether we are there or not life will go on. Sometimes it looks life is passing us by because it actually is. We have tomake use of the opportunities we get. In life there is so much to smile about. Take a moment to think of something which made you smile. The best way to enjoy life is try new things, meet people, see how others are living. This makes us to understand how other people are living.

Your mind is a magnet. Thoughts get attracted to it everyday.
If you always think of blessings, you attract more blessings.
If you always think of problems, you attract more problems.
Always keep good thoughts & speak good words . so that you attract them always.

Yoga for Reproductive Health
Hello Ladies,
So far, I do Surya Namaskar and am up to 45 repetitions 5 days a week.
And I have recently introduced 24 minute meditation on floor, once when I wake up, and once before I sleep.
I am interested in doing yoga for Reproductive Health.
I hears of Urdhva Retas, but I cannot find any associated poses.
Even though my menses seem normal (lasts about 5 days, occurs every 24 to 25 days), I find it unsettling because sometimes I see clots as late as the 4th day.
Such yoga exercises would help us ladies, kindly share your knowledge.

Youngest Sister's wedding and I am really tensed going to India
I will be going to India on sister's wedding but feeling nervous with the thoughts what situations are lying there for me..
4 yrs before , during my middle sis wedding and even after that there had been lot of issues and dramas betn me and in laws that our relations got strained to an extent that I totally stopped going at my in laws place; however never stopped DH and DDs going there.. my relations with DH are now improved for a year but whenver parents topics arise arguments start..
now youngest sis wedding is just on 15 days but mu DH has still not booked the tickets (even after telling in advance)..I got tired of telling him that I am the eldest and need to be with my parents for help but his standard answer is I am trying to book ASAP.
Now he is putting up conditions that I have to stay at ln laws place at least for a day or else in laws will not attend the wedding..while parents are saying dont spoil your moods with cry and drama.. You can go there after wedding is over..anyways we need you for help before wedding rituals ..Honestly speaking I agree with parents taking lessons from previous bitter incidents ..(MIL did not attend wedding spreading I insulted her not offering seat in the crowd in fact offering hers to a handicapped old lady.. God forbid it was not intentional I was tired of apologizing ) and then not giving her extra wedding invitations to invite guests on in laws side.. (again whome to invite was in parents control and nt mine)
DH is also making excuses saying , hope his presence not required before wedding day as he has office colleague's son's mundan ceremony to attend 2 days before..
From his talks I felt he jus wanted to be guest as a stranger and not to help as family member..I dont have brother and hope there may be some help required for my father ..isnt it obvious that wedding house will be full of hustle bustle busy with activities although may not be main ceremonies.. but as per him he is not asked for offering help and is simply sitting..instead let him have his own plans..
Sorry I am venting out ...maybe this is an answer he may be giving because i am avoiding going to his house.. but this time I am preparing myself mentally that no surprises if even he chooses not to attend wedding..
What fun people get spoiling life time events in someone's life..
may be i am thinkin too much..PMS :(
