INSPIRATION! :-)))

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70UF82nysIU

Dear parents / kids and teachers who are parents
and almost EVERYONE,

Please oh please watch this video.

Its just simply amazing! My family shared it with me on social media.
I don't know who said the following words, but they are true.

IT'S NOT A SHAME TO FALL, BUT, IT IS A SHAME TO REMAIN FALLEN!

No matter what your field, what you do, don't think it's insignificant. The journey of a thousand miles, starts with a single step. And GOD! the obstacles we have to face like our own stupid innate inabilities, negative thoughts, friends and well-wishers (WHO MEAN NO HARM?!), their advises, thinking it's for our good and what not. That would be the "FALL", but once you regain your consciousness, and start running the race, with only your own self-confidence as motivation and a little?! bit of help from GOD, one could do AMAZING feats.

So, bottom line, "BELIEVE IN YOURSELF". YOU CAN!

With lots of LOVE and regards,
Your dear friend,
Laskhmi R. Srinivasan. :-)))

DIrect & reported Speech! :--))

Direct speech is usually in the dialogue form. When we talk to a person we address them directly. Asking them and hearing their replies or vice - versa. when we put it down on paper, we write the person's name followed by a colon (:) and write the speech in dialogue form that is enclosed it within quotations / inverted commas.

Lakshmi:  "Hi P! How are you?"
P:  "I'm fine Lakshmi. I didn't see you for the past couple of days, where had you been?"

Like this! It can be in the formal or the informal mode.

Now for reported speech. This is what we find in newspapers. Whatever has been a part of a meeting, conversation or speech is reported to us.

Now, Mr.X would have said something like, "We / I will take strict action against people who are found smoking in theatres, restaurants or other public places. Such nonsense won't be tolerated." But when it is converted into reported speech, it sounds like this:
Mr.X said that an action will be taken against people found smoking in public places.

Lakshmi:  "Where are you going?"
Ashwin:    "I'm going to cycle."

That was direct speech.

Lakshmi asked Ashwin where he was going. Ashwin replied that he was going to cycle. Now we can also do away (avoid) that from the above sentence, it's not compulsory.

Note that the verb changes in Reported Speech is different from the one that's used in Direct Speech.

simple present → simple past                  will → would

past → past perfect                                  can → could

present perfect → past perfect

This is true if the action is complete, while if the action is still going on or is set in future, the same verb could be used.
