What to name it ????

We are not new to forwarded mails teasing/commenting/insulting English in China. After reading those mails, we laugh and make fun of it. I have done all these. Does that mean we are better than China atleast in english? I doubt it really? I believe we are standing next to them not just in population but also in the standard of english. Check these

1) In guwahati express , 1 particular warning board was saying  "  Pull the chain to stop the chain "

2) In Chennai , in 1 of the bus stand , it was written "No Barking" instead of "No Parking"

3)In Punjab/Haryana in 1 of the Vehicle Tax paying Area it was written "Pay Road Tax Hear"

Unfortunately I dont have the snaps of the first two.And the interesting part is, all the 3 mistakes i have mentioned here are done in Govt dept. Only 3 ? I have seen/heard of only these 3. There may or may not be many such mistakes.

Whom to be blamed for these kinda things ? Public like me who see this and dono where to complaint or the people who is responsible for writing this wrongly or the respective dept., which was suppose to monitor this or improper education to all or the people who give such contracts to uneducated people. I really dont have an answer for this. Spelling mistakes are common to all it doesnt matter whether you are educated or not. All my blogs have it. The actual mistake is on the governing body and we need a place where we can raise such issues. May be a place is there already but people are unaware of it . A system which is unaware doesnt solve the purpose. If anyone of you is aware of a place please raise this and i can help if it is needed.

I dont want somebody else to pin point our mistakes, lets be the first to accept it and correct it.Cheers

Scope of improvement

Couple of months ago, my mom came up with a match box, showed it to me and said, "this match box will glow in dark if some light falls on it". I checked it and found that she was right. The match box had its maker's name written in such a way that it glitters in the dark when rays of light fall on it. Its actually easier to grab that match box when it is dark. I was really impressed with that. May be its been there for a while, i noticed it just recently. May be they are in the initial stage and they are in the process of developing it. We are not new to radium stickers, i was playing with it when i was young but the very thought to bring the concept of radium in a match box is an innovation according to me. Though its a very small thing that was done, the actual difference is why was it not done so far and why no one thought of this. The man behind it really deserves a special praise i would say, whoever it may be. The very concept is there is A/C remotes as well.

Few years back if someone have given a match box to me and said innovate something in it, i would have looked at it for days and would have asked so many questions and would have given it back saying nothing can be innovated in it. But there was something that was innovated from it. I really see this as a motivating thing. Its not that someone has done something to me directly but looking into it, i have learn t  "there is a scope of improvement " in everything that you come across. All we have to do is to look at it with a open mind.
