PDFOver the past few weeks, everyone has been going calendar crazy. I mean EVERYONE. I was sitting in meetings with colleagues trying to write “messages” and then find the right pictures to go with the calendar they were making. Amy was asking me how to edit some of her photos so that they would look better when they were printed in the Centre for Microfinance’s calendar. Friends were running out to buy newspapers which had free calendars included with them.
There was so much hype that I just couldn’t resist making a calendar of my own.
For those of you who don’t know what the Grumpy Writer’s Grumps is all about, it’s a place where I’m taking some of the Indian English problems that I am always correcting and making a (hopefully weekly) one-page newsletter telling people (mostly my students at the Tata-Dhan Academy) what kinds of things they should avoid when writing. Not everything will translate to an international audience—many things are definitely localized, in some cases even to Tamil Nadu (and not India overall) but for those of you who have been to India, you might recognize some of the things I write about from time to time.
Anyway, if you want to print this little thing, you can download a different PDF which—when printed double-sided, cut in quarters, correctly arranged, and stapled—will give you a nice pocket-sized version of the calendar above.
