Julie and Julia

A few days back I watched a film called "Julie and Julia". Not many in India would be knowing about this particular film as it was a chick flick. The film is based on a novel with the same name, referring to a famous Julia Child (played by Maryl Streep), who taught French cooking to Americans. Well, for this blog and for the time being, neither she nor the film is important. Why I am talking about the film is the concept that Julie (author of the book) introduced. She is a good cook. She gets a little bored of her life and wants to do something that is new. So, she takes up a challenge. She starts a blog for one year and every day she cooks something from Julia Child's book. In 365 days, she cooks more than 400 items along with many ups and downs in her life.

Well, I am also taking an inspiration from it and deciding to do something that can take me away from routine works. I wish to do something but unfortunately I am not getting anything. Something that can keep both you and me interested in the blog.

Firstly, I asked myself, what I am good at. Just the way Mad-eye Moody asks Harry Potter in The Goblet of Fire. What is my strength? The answer was to end the blog with an English lesson. Don't be scared, dear. I am not going to give heavy doses of English language. I am not that good at English. But then, I like the idea. So, now on, apart from my usual boring stuffs, you will find some English lesson as well. I want to name this section where I can give hits about good English. Can someone suggest me a name for it?

(Name-less Section):

Today's English lesson is a sentence which I have used in this blog: "Well, for this blog and for the time being, neither she nor the film is important."  Use of neither-nor and either-or is known to most. But here I am pointing out the 'is' that is used. The 'is' is used her for the film. Because the film is only one, I have used 'is', singular. If the sentence would be like this :Neither she nor the films... then I would have used are important. In another case, Neither films nor she is important. It depends on the subject that is close to the verb. If the subject closer to the verb is singular, use singular verb else plural. I hope you got it.
