Quote of the week


Don’t cry over the past, it’s gone. Don’t stress about the future, it hasn’t arrived. Live in the present and make it beautiful..!

बीते समय के लिए मत रोइए, वो चला गया, और भविष्य की चिंता करना छोड़ो क्यूंकि वो अभी आया ही नहीं है, वर्तमान में जियो , इसे सुन्दर बनाओ...!!

Commonly Mispronounced Car Brand Names


When it comes to Brand names, we all have a tendency to mispronounce them. Not that we can’t say the correct pronunciation, but since these brand names come from a totally different language, somehow we twist their pronunciation according to our first language.

• Germans pronounce their W as English letter V.
