Welcome to kNoW English


Writing is similar to speaking. Speaking through words that rush through the mind. Its like raining thoughts on this white surface in letters of black. :)

Yes, today this blog post I dedicate to the thoughts that gave an occasional out pour while walking or cooking or eating or traveling or even teaching in the class. Some way to capture the points that make it easy to explain the finer points related to English - vocabulary, grammar, punctuation, fluency, communication skills etc.



Here I jot down the issues in informal as well as formal vocabulary.
Lets shake our hands in mind and happy to welcome you for my world of ENGLISH.
Yes... in this virtual world we find connectivity through the mind.
We don't mind if we do not connect with each other.

Let's take the examples how the word mind is used in English.



Mind your tongue (a rather harsh reminder)
Mind your business (definitely a warning )


We have some requests too made with it

Please don't mind my words.

A clearer expression of help

Please remind me tomorrow about the task



After all these minding about the mind, where does the brain stand?
How far mind is different from brain?
Are they synonyms for thinking?

We use these often spoken phrases
Brainless fellow not a mindless one
Brain drain ( a compound word that means the emigration of highly trained or qualified people from a particular country)

But have we ever said - Body present brain absent?
Why it is - mind absent why not a brain?

Leave your mind/brain in comments...
and that's for today dears!
