I have been receiving emails that I Publish some of my thoughts on some of the Subjects I have been writing about,
I have been receiving requests from ,I presume to be students, that I publish a book on English Grammar, as they have read my posts on English Grammar,
The post on Degrees of Comparison is quite popular.
And there have been emails asking me publish my posts on Hinduism and Indian Philosophy.
On looking at the profiles of my regular readers , I find them to be well-informed and very knowledgeable.
I like to receive your views on the Subjects I may publish, eBooks and printed version.
I have completed my manuscript for English Grammar.
The Book is different in two aspects.
It is aimed at all people, not making English Grammar only a Text book, for after all Grammar is useful for every one.
And I have tried to use simple language , devoid of jargon, as the purpose is to make people understand Grammar, not to prepare them for examinations.
Secondly I have found, in most of the English Grammar Books, the examples quoted are from the West and this, to me sounds irrelevant.
For example for a country starved of rains most of the time, what sense does it make to say ‘rain, Rain, Go Away’?
or what exactly is the purpose of saying jack and Jill tumbling after?
Would it not be better if we can provide examples from the Indian context, especially from the Ithihasas and Puranas so that children , and in my opinion most of the Adults in India, learn more of values than nonsense sentences?
I have attempted to provide examples from the Ithihasas , Puarans and from Indian Current affairs,
I would be grateful if my readers could spare some of their time and energy and let me know what topics would be of use in Hinduism/Indian Philosophy.
I welcome suggestions on other topics as well.
As I have mentioned in many of my posts I started writing for the pleasure of it.
Now as I find that is useful to some one, I am extremely happy.
Not that what I say is correct but it has made people think and read some of the Indian Original Texts,
This, I could find from their comments at the site and in personal communications.
Await your feedback.
Regards,
Ramanan.S.V.
