Rajesh,

Why shall I have to make attempt to ridicule you? 

You need to think yourself where and what comment to do. If it is your effort 
to make me shut up my mouth, it would not happen. Very purpose of language is 
to express myself and need not to be grammar expert. You understood what I want 
to say. That’s all.
