Make sentences with:
Remember your old english question papers at school?. Before the short answers, ERC (Annotation) and essay questions, there were these little ones - Fill up, match the following and make sentences with.
Now, "Make sentences with" was wicked. You have to think of sentences on your own on the spot using the words in the questions. Also, the sentences you make up should not be too obvious (which sadly became the case most of the time), else the teacher would think you copied!. I think that was the only situation in a language paper where one stops and thinks.
This post tries to bring back that experience, in a blogger's sense of things!.
Make sentences with the following words:
1. Glory: He was living in the glory of the past (posts), which was still bearing him fruits (comments).
2. Mercy: An extremely long and verbose post deserves atleast a mercy comment.
3. Amuse: He was amused to see one of his long-forgotten archived posts had got an extra comment.
4. Anger: He shook his fist (mouse) in anger when his frequently visited blogs had no new updates,
5. Shame: He was filled with shame when he saw no "Updated!" sign next to his blogrolled page in a fellow blog.
6. Overkill: The 140th review of Anniyan officially marked the overkill of the blogger's freedom of speech.
7. Ignorance: Pity his ignorance!. He did not care to check if this kind of a post had been published elsewhere.
8. Excuse: .. and this is an excuse of a post!!.
Sorry guys!. It's not that I was busy or anything (I am not a workaholic, remember?!). Just that almost a week had already passed since I posted!. And oh, by the way, he (9. assumed) that he has an obligation to post something every 4-5 days!.

This post of yours made me to recall the days when I used to approach my DAD, to make some sentences during my school days.
Excellent usage of that experience, in today's blogging context..
hilarious...

11.Confused you will not be but 10. amused you can be because rotation is what the earth will do inspite of universe telling not to.
I prefer making sentences like Yoda!

Vatsan: OB ashtanaa??! LOL!. I had a doubt if it was "Make sentences with" or "Create sentences". Finally, I went with the former.

By Meena, at September 21, 2005 11:35 AM
Really!. Small world huh!.
I was in the 97-2001 batch.
By tt_giant, at September 21, 2005 12:45 PM
Very nice post TT_G.! Brought a lot of memories of my school days.!!
We used to have fun at school with such sentences.
And the 8 + 1 sentence you have written about blogging / Blogs are really creative indeed.
I liked No.3!! Amuse! I do feel the same way when I get a comment for a long forgotten post.!!
By Narayanan Venkitu, at September 21, 2005 3:08 PM
Narayanan: Thanks!!.
Yea, I liked doing these exercises back then, even for those lessons which was not included in the syllabus.
If I ever got a really hard word to use, then I simply answer: "he was asked to make a sentence with XYZ, but was still struggling to do it"!!!..
