Phrasal verb

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2NwmcNKaHk  You seem a little under the weather. What’s wrong? My car broke down (stop working) again… And I ended up (do something unplanned) coming by bus. I had just picked (collect) it up from the mechanic a few days ago… But the repair didn’t hold up (remain strong), can you believe it? The car engine gave out (stop working) again. I can’t rely on my car any longer to get me where I need to go. It just wears  (exhaust) me out. Sorry to hear that. I really need to buy a new car. I started putting aside (save) money every week. I earn money freelancing online in my free time. Wow… that sounds great! But I can’t keep up with my (keep pace with) studies this way and I always fall behind (not keep pace).

Hey, Lisa and I are going to a concert next ...

Says his prime job was to speak against Omar Abdullah and Mahbooba Mufti to project them as Anti-national. No such thing happened. These guys  tried to move in by force. They were arrested for trespassing. There is no clampdown on right to report. We all report from the field and we never break into anyone's home. Hundreds of homes of innocents were demolished in UP by branding them "rioters". Hundreds wer...

Noorie Abbas | We SHOULD Have Confidence in Modi's Government

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxIWkzugGDs  Ladies and gentlemen, I have a few disclaimers before I proceed, I feel that it is necessary to acknowledge as katty nicely revealed that I am in fact Pakistani and political opportunism inside and that as a Pakistani woman to speak in defense of Narender modi is fundamentally against my nature. I mention this bcoz I need you to know that I would not be speaking in oppostiion to this motion unless I thought it absolutely necessary. I suspect many of us on this side aisle  will be taking a limited view on what qualifies as confidencebut I must stress that there is still thee essence of confidence nonetheless. I speak because I truly feel that to vote no confidence in Modi's government is to vote no confidence in the voice of south asia a concern that unites both India and pakistan. I am not an apologist and despite what the proposition pushes forth there is evidence of unfairly discedited success on modi's part, the promise of ...
