I have always been fascinated by the entertainments of this God man, Nithyananda aka HDH Nithyananda Paramashivam ( HDH refers to His Divine Holiness). Despite being a rape accused fugitive, he has been making rounds on the media for building his own nation, KAILASA and more recently for unveiling Kailasa currency through the Reserve bank of Kailasaš® Let us see some interesting, funny facts about Kailasa and its de facto head of the state. 1. Nitthi (as how he is fondly called by people who love him) is a smart man who calls his nation as an E-nation to avoid his followers and potential citizens of Kailasa asking him where it is located. There are speculations that Kailasa has been set up on a privately owned island off the coast of Ecuador or in the Turks & Caicos islands, Trinidad & Tobago in the Caribbean.However, these governments have been denying the entry and purchase of any island in their territory by Nitthi. 2.

Today in the online world,I see people using the same tactics to express their emotions - no matter whether it really sounds the same way or not. In response to a joke told online we see "ha ha ha"- we should understan...
We remember many words and in most cases, their meanings, usage, pronunciations as well. But how often we remember those who introduced a particular word to us? Not that often, unless either the word or the person is so remarkable or in rare cases, when both are. 1. The word : pc: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/ - Ms. Sumathy ( in pic below) introduced me the word "Etiquette" almost 3 decades ago when I was her student learning communicative English as a part of my graduate studies in hospitality management.When she first explained the meaning of the word, it was hard for me to comprehend and later with examples, she engraved the word deep in to my thoughts that every time I come across the word, I am able to relive that moment when I heard it for the first time. - As a trainer, professional in the hospitality industry, whenever I explain, train my colleagues on lobby etiquette, telephone etiquette, service etiquette, business etiquette and so on, I remembe...
