A decade ago no one would have expected the language to change its spelling structures.The technical leaps opened many easy ways of communication. It made  faster texting a compulsion. Letter writing has become an extinct art. Nobody thinks of sending post letters. It is just the texting of messages and the mails. This is not going to kill us but it is killing the sensibilities and ultimately the beauty of emotional communication.  It's not the world but the words, that are dying.

Then what about the language...
We need not worry about it. Language is an evolutionary process. The making of words include additions, removals and acceptance. First two belong to the grammarians. The third one, acceptance, belongs us - the users. These users include speakers, listeners and writers. We started to speak, listen and write words of easy applicability.

For example - Laugh out Loud has become lol. It is accepted and added as a new entry to the vocabulary by the Oxford English Dictionary makers.
ROLF - this needs no explanation
ASAP(as soon as possible) - is spoken as a word
TTYL - talk to you later
BFN - bye for now

Chat changed us very much.
The burden of multi chat or the speed requirement or the freedom of no rule mood/mode of privacy made people opt for an easy scribbling of messages in the in boxes of chat rooms.
The word you is shortened to U. May be in the near future, new spelling patterns may happily adopt to this kind of spelling patterns such as - Write as you speak and speak as you write.

Why not a father tongue

Words are formed in tune with the happenings of life in general. One such word is mother tongue. A tongue is the softest muscle part with free movement in the mouth cavity. It could move up and down, in and out. Tongue is the first visible tool for our speaking ability. Later we have other parts of the mouth such as lips, teeth, vocal chords, throat, nasal cavity etc. So it is accepted that tongue cannot be taken easy and we have to accept the tongue in this word "mother tongue"

Now we come to the first word MOTHER
Why it's always mother tongue
why not a father tongue

Give it a thought...

Here is my thought flow.

A mother's voice is the first sound recorded in the mind of an infant. As years go by, the baby begins to imitate the movements of the lips of the people around it. Children find it easy to correlate with the words of the language that they heard when they are in the womb of the mother. Mother's voice is recorded in it's brain since its formation in the womb. Hence the baby's tongue could easily imitate the sounds. This is the most beautiful part of childhood for the parents. They make fun of these peculiar sounds later to the grown up boy or girl. Even as an infant, a baby stops crying the moment it hears the mother's voice, not father's. Such is the psychological proximity for the infant.

These sounds when uttered with clarity become the first database for our future linguistic abilities. Her language becomes ours. Whatever language we inherited from the mother becomes our mother tongue. Do we need anymore proof to accept this word formation -- mother tongue!

Analysing words to understand their origin also helps us to have a firm base for our vocabulary.

Now Make your guess...  :)

Mind Game

Brain is the physical identity for mind. But its not only the mind that makes a brain.
Brain has many functions to perform - voluntary or involuntary. It takes care of many activities such as maintaining the body temperature to heartbeat, breathing, sweating etc. But mind is blessed with the power of thinking. Sometimes segregating the information to remember or make a choice of forgetting it too. Mind is the reason for the great honour to be known as wise or otherwise :)

Mind includes:
Consciousness
Perception
Thinking
Judgement
Language
Memory

This takes us to the process of thinking. The platform to facilitate the abilities of humans. Thinking includes -
1. Recognise assumptions - recognizing the self made thoughts and collecting the facts
2. Evaluate information - Giving time to confirm the reality in our data and trying to find proofs to support our assumptions
3. Draw conclusions - Once we have the supported facts, we draw conclusions and make decisions
4. Plan of actions - Then follows making the various plans of action to achieve our task or go ahead in judging either persons or situations.

Language and Memory:
Since our childhood mind makes imprints of information practised by the child. This is contained in the form of imprints. The stronger imprints help the child in quick learning of words and makes the vocabulary for communication. The memory power connected with the mind's ability is the key element to drive us towards success. There are many techniques practiced by the students to increase their memory power and present their best in academics.
This deadly combination of will power and mind power is the key behind the making of a Sundar Pichai or a Satya Nadella. So belt your seats to achieve these two to make the best in the professional world.

BY WORDS THE MIND IS WINGED
Aristophanes

Mind is a power house of Imagination. It holds the power of recognition and appreciation. In our ways of speaking we have
a strong mind
weak mind
and a suspicious mind also.
A Criminal mind plans the crimes and the lawyers logical mind plays in the court of law - either proving it or falsifying it.
Another genre of mind is Open mind/minded/broad minded ones. This kind of open minded people are welcomed and appreciated by all. You know the reason why, I need not strain my mind :)

Best minds are those who are clever, intelligent and creative. I could see them in my mind's eye!
