Hinglish: communication Vs language confusion.Pages

There are two potent questions in my grey mind.

(i) Though in my 40 years of teaching no dumb (lacking the power of speech Ref: dictionary.reference.com/browse/dumb) student applied for admission to engineering. If it were true, should I have had denied him/her admission?). I hope not.. on the contrary the student shall get preference- because of handicap quota.

(ii) What would have happened if I had not wasted my precious years learning German, when I was not to be exposed to advanced literature ( technical or other) right one at right time

My published verses.Personal Development

So forget shopping list. Will it obviate problem or write off.. ??

On the onset, I was serious to see the real problem and seek the possible solution!..
But alas!

Well! Le’me attempt some causes to the problem.?.

The technology gave us gadgets and gizmo’s
The intent to do things double time added some more load.
the parents were in a haste to see their child is worth putting into a leadership/ earning position fast.
and we started loading her with laden weight….

As a result…
Her health suffered!
