 📜Daily Scroll "The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you." — B.B. King I'm so happy you're here. My name is Vibhuti Binjola, and I’m a student with a deep interest in the English language and literature. Over time, I realized how challenging it can be to find simple, well-organized notes that actually help — especially when studying for exams or trying to understand difficult concepts. That’s what inspired me to create this blog. The Grammar Scroll is my personal space to share what I learn as I explore English — from literary eras like the Renaissance and Romantic period to essential grammar topics like the use of articles, tenses, and sentence structure. I will also create and share worksheets for practice, because I know how helpful it is to apply what you’ve learned. Whether you’re a fellow student, an English enthusiast, or someone preparing for exams like SSC, B.Ed., or NET-JRF, I hope you’ll find something useful here. My g...
