Hello Again everyone,
A few days ago I wrote a blog just because I wanted to practice my writing skill. It wasn't a very interesting blog and when I posted it I was sure that hardly anyone would read it or comment on it. However, the response was beyond my expectations and I'm so grateful to all of you for your priceless kindness.
My previous experience has given me the hope that sometimes even meaningless ranting could be a way to practice and improve writing skill and I'm so happy about that.
A few days ago, Seeker challenged us to write a story in just three sentences and so many members have been taking part in it. All the stories, except mine of course, are so splendidly written that for the first time during my stay here in this learning club I've come to know that I'm surrounded by such talented writers! Don't misunderstand this statement, friends, because it doesn't mean that previously I didn't think of members as talented. Of course, they are extremely talented and I knew this before Seeker's writing challenge. My point here is that writing a story in just three sentences is an excellent example of how highly they're capable of expressing themselves via fiction and writing something in just three sentences can not be thought of as something ordinary. It shows how much creative the members of this club are and perhaps we have so many potential best selling authors among us. Maybe, one day we'd hear that some of our friends and fellow members have written wonderful books and have taken the world by storm.

A few days ago I came across a story on BBC.com. It said that facebook was turning into a growing and unstoppable digital graveyard. A lot of its members were already dead and 8000 of its alive members were dying every day! If you're interested to know the details, you can read the full article here. By the way, I was wondering if one day our club will also meet the same kind of fate? Perhaps, it's already true for all online forums for some extent, however, on a much smaller scale as compared to facebook.

These days a lot of countries across the globe are facing an obesity epidemic. It's not only the people, who are obese, suffer but also the countries as a whole suffer as medical conditions that result as a consequence of obesity put severe financial burden on governments. Obesity, as you may already know, causes a lot of life threatening illnesses like cardiovascular diseases, a variety of cancers, Diabetes and a whole range of other diseases. To prevent obesity, governments try to implement new laws from time to time. The latest being the UK government is thinking of banning junk food ads. I thing the idea is just great. It's duty of us all in general and governments in particular to save our younger generation from unhealthy eating habits so that they don't suffer.

That's all for today, dear friends!
Please, do correct mistakes. Please do!
Have a splendid week ahead! :)
Comments
I go with saba's comment. Yes, few words with the soul of eloquence are better then a whole blunt para.
Thanks nida for sharing your view point.
I think quality is more important than quantity, for example, an interesting blog in just three lines is better than a boring blog in 100 lines.
Nowadays people have become facinated by new things but soon they lose their interests for instance like Facebook users. I am not sure about the reason but I hope EC continues for ever with its active and eager members for learning English.
About obesity I believe that we should teach our kids to exercise from their childhood and turn it into habit. We should also use more healthy food, fruits and vegetables.
This blog of yours nida, proves it true to yourself too.
Thanks for sharing.
