Don't just read! work with it!

The English vocabulary is colossal and there knows no end to the list of words that are still undiscovered and we're too languid to look up for them on the internet or the dictionary and we context presumably skip to the conclusion when we come across them while we're reading an article or an important document. It feels no less than an achievement when we're able to find something relatable to our persona or word we can colloquially use and tell people what it means. However, different sources describe these words differently which can consequently be misleading and erroneous to use unless you’re well versed with the etymologies and origins of the words. We can still become handy at using them through effective reading.

“E” has been my favorite letter lately, not because it has got some of my favorite words but because it has a wide range of unique words that can be so confusing yet interesting to use. Let’s have a look at some of them.

1.       Expurgate: "Purge" which means removing unwanted substances, the word hence used as verb means removing unwanted matter or glitches from the written documents. You may also call it removing offensive and objectionable matter that may slander someone's reputation.

2.       Exonerate: Show someone to be blameless. When a convicted person is shown a clean chit, he is said to be exonerated of the blame. For example: Even after having been exonerated of the bribery case, the DCP is still questioned on his loyalty to the Police service.

3.       Exacerbate: The word has a Latin origin, “exacerbatus” meaning to provoke. Make something worse; embitter the feelings of a person. Used as verb, this word can be used to describe an already grim situation which has been ruined further. Example: The Prime minister’s remark on the dalit suicide has exacerbated the rage amongst the protesters.

4.       Expedite: Latin origin, “expeditus” meaning to set feet free. It refers to Speeding up something, make it happen sooner or be accomplished more quickly. Example- The security forces of the terror struck pathankot need to expedite their functioning to ensure the localities’ safety.

5.       Expedient: An adjective that describe ways which are advantageous rather than just, conducive to advantage or interest, as opposed to right. Means of attaining and end, a convenient one but unjust, improper or immoral. Example- It is not the language framing political vision but the campaign slogans serving as an expedient function.

6.       Expiate: Latin origin, ex + piare meaning to atone for. To compensate something with another, make amends for wrong done, past deeds or decisions taken. When you do something that may negate the effects of the wrong done in past, or when you’re sorry for something you realize you shouldn’t have done, you expiate your deeds.

7.       Encomium: A Latin word deriving from en + komion meaning , the praise of a person or a thing, a glowingly warm, enthusiastic praise. Say encomiums bestowed upon a teacher during her retirement ceremonies.

8.       Expatiate: Derives from ex + spatium, to wander from space or course. Used as Verb, meaning to speak or write at length about a subject. Example, the naturalist is known for her willingness to expatiate on any number of issues relating to wildlife and environment.

9.       Extenuate: Derives from, ex+ tenuare meaning to make thin or small. Acting in mitigation to lessen the seriousness of guilt or an offence. Example- But it is my business and shall be all my business, to repent of my failings and not Endeavour to extenuate them.

10.   Exiguous: Used as an adjective this means very small or scanty, in inadequate amounts. Example- Computer equipment that would be prohibitively expensive, given the rural schools exiguous resources.

Oddities of being a writer

If you are a pen and paper person and have a peculiar habit of noting down even the slightest of thoughts that come to your mind, there are certain idiosyncrasies that you will be flabbergasted to know that you have.

• If you are writer you have a keen sense of observation, you can't afford to let go of the slightest of events unnoticed. Observing things with hawk-eyed senses helps you write better as well as understand better.
• You have a profound idea of what you are writing, you need to know all that you can about the field in order to produce a clean document of your thoughts and ideas that doesn’t require expurgating or bowdlerizing or you might end up committing a faux pass if you go around bragging about something that doesn't comply to your cognizance.
• You have an experience of every moment that you pen down, so you bring your readers a clear picture of the event. Even if you write for yourself, you are as well a connoisseur in forging down what exactly did happen, so that even after you read it after a long time, you don't find trouble manifesting the true course of events.
• You have a way with your readers, you are well aware of what they might like and what they might not. You empathize with them when you write. You have a power to perceive the world from the view point of a 10 year old child, 20 year old teenager and a 40 year old adult. 
• You are always ready to learn, when you come across something new, you develop a febrile attitude towards writing about it, so that you can have another clique of readers who might read it. You learn from other’s writings too, you know how to write conveying the exact same idea restraining from developing a counterfeit at the same time.
• You are also well aware of the society, its trends and modus operandi so that what you write doesn’t become outdated and what you write is always readable whether it alludes the times today or a decade ago.
• Your writings never fail to raise certain rhetorical questions blowing the minds of your readers. It not only generates awareness among your readers but also invokes in them a keen sense of curiosity.
• You have a rebellious attitude towards the wrong done, dauntless writing about the established traditions and culture. You are always ready to debate about what you feel is right. Your writings and your ideas of creating a better world justifies your hostility towards injustice. The letters to the editor from the editorial column of the newspaper The Hindu never fail to enthrall me be it a political agenda, a law, or a murder. They’re all about opining about the happenings today and raising voice against the injustice.

So even if you’ve written something trivial , an event or an account, treasure it, because who knows someday it might inspire you to write something that might give you your cahoots of readers. 

Talking about something you've been doing everyday, somedays putting in ten hours or somedays just one or two, When you've been derelicting your significant interests(blogging being one of them) in the name of being labelled as an aspirant, 85%ile isn't something you settele for, it by no means is expiating all your sacrifices, turning down proposals of watching a movie or going on a weekend trip and deep down you've known all the way, you haven't been up with anything worth it's while. Telling people that this was all you wanted would be a white lie because, you know you needed a lot more than that.
I still remember how excited i was when learnt about google adsense, not longer i realised  that the term has a wider meaning and it might just turn out be more than just an extra-curricular. Not that i couldn't do it, but just a glimpse of me working my ass off hovering over something uncertain didn't motivate me enough. Finding good in everything that happens, those  moments of hypertension and slepless nights of forlorness thinking about what might happen are gone, plus  not seeing certain people harangue me anymore, ofcourse nbobody's got that lot of time but yeah , they have got a heating something to gossip about.
Moving on with life is by all means  a hobson's choice. Getting to that i've got a cohort reading my blog, intriguing  why i'd quit. It's absolutely heartwarming to come accross people who not just appreciate you but encourage you to do more. I do see myself writing so much more in near future, working over setbacks and staying motivated above all. After all that happens i've got family, friends and people who believe in me.

Don't just Read! Work with it!

Good Evening fellas! So heres something for you to talk aloud , talk back to it, make you use your pens and papers and not just mental simulation.

No! Not another story, I'm starting with my first vocabulary session, I'm myself taking these sessions on a routine, and believe me quite a heating stuff you encounter once you dive in! I'm being a l'll descriptive with these words for the beginning, i'll be briefing it over time once it gets inveterately here.

If you let your mind play over some of taciturn people you will come across why getting into a conversation with them is morose, sullen and unfriendly. It is their disinclination towards the dialog that makes them un-affable and secretive.
Here's  a executive engaging in a romantic affair with his secretary in the office, he indulges in this extra-curricular activity without having a word on how to keep their private life afar from the professional one, as they're both well aware of the doctrine in such cases. Hence this conversation about keeping a starry-eye on this employer-employee relationship remains "tacit", hence unsaid.
A person is never called tacit. The noun is tacitness.

Often, though not necessarily, a person of independent income, you engage superficially into pursuit of one fine arts say painting , writing, sculpting, composing etc, doing it largely for your complacency and amusement and not to attain any professional merits or recognition nor are you inclined to earning money through this hobby.

This is still delightful! I've been stalking over hundreds of blogs to what more can i be bringing up for my audiences, and i feel its nothing less than an achievement if i happen to find even a single person telling me "i read your blog, its amazing!" I'd been expecting more but it'll need more time and grease i suppose. so, i'm kind of packed with semesters nowadays, so i really cannot seem to find enough time to bring you anything not just satisfiable but massive and  something you can just lose yourself into! with every post i write i find a number of more creative ideas and possible ways to rectify them. so lets see, there is so much on my mind, you'll soon fiind what! Just keep reading my stuff! and it'll be even more appreciable to hear some suggestions or changes i could do with my blog. And I'll soon be including a column on "The surprising ten", which will be the ten surpring words from the vocabulary that i'll be updating weekly, and yes those will be completely passive! But again that will need some time, summing up, its amazing here! I'll be back with all of it'! Love you guys, keep doing great! tada! :)

Seclusion: Lets get a way with it!

Seclusion, Forlornness, Solitude are the worst ever abstract nouns I can link Mankind with. People say, they like being lonely, but i ask do they have a choice?? They feel they can head on working away from the crowd, good that'll fetch them, But in thunder of loneliness and those walls you've build up  portending the future benefits, will not take more of time to cage you up! Mother teresa said, "the most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved", henceforth loneliness is not something you can abate through money or luxury! What happens when you are alone? A scent of depression and pessimism is what you'll go through. For once you feel, you've been given up by people who you thought had loved you once, the ones you trusted, for a while you can be doing good enough to not letting you realise the need of being amongst people, people you can laugh out and crack silly jokes with, but when the heft of emotions heap up, they'll have to come out, They'll need someone to listen, not just anybody out but someone who understands it and respects it too!

MY STORY
Having being around family and friends, i had developed this small and restricted area of happiness until my graduation, i used to find happiness in even slightest of events, say a compliment, a good score in class assessment and there's an endless list! My parents had provided me with a big comfort zone. Apparently, Even buying essentials was something I did for the first time, when I entered college.What my parents forgot while nurturing me with all sorts of luxuries and self-indulgence was that they just have me for a finite period of time, and i'll ultimately have to travel a long road of journey  alone without them. This all that took me to cope up with the super haphazard consequences of loneliness! The courses and means of happiness and the things that instilled joy in me had completely transformed. Working on them was first step i took to conqeur the haunting lonliness i faced. This is something that you face when you all of a sudden move out of your so used to daily routines.


THE STAND ALONE PHILOSOPHY
This is something you really need to condone the ambiguity In. When one despises being alone, one insists on Standing alone! Its just an independent tread you can seek a prop in to handle unaccustomed situations. You ought to be unique in every way, there is gonna be a lot of criticism and censure with your ways and principles but those just ain't enough to shake you off your strong affirmations. Anyways, Lets get back to the mighty introvert thing we were dealing with! Hope you guys are still with me!

DEALING WITH IT
What exactly you were up to when you last felt alone? Nothing? I guess. This is just where you need to cut yourself some slack, keeping busy! Once you have a lot of errands to deal with you never find a navigation to Loneliness. People will just feel the need to be around you, they'll have quite a keen sense of curiosity every time you rush with your manic activities.
Another thing that gets you to feeling lonely is Stress, keep calm and try to analyse the situation, know that you are way bigger than your problems. One way to deal with stress is writing, every time your up with something new or undergoing any trauma or a mood swing! Pen down your emotions, whatever you are upto!
Music! Nothing's better than a beautiful song or a music genre you usually listen, to alter your emotions or drive you into a world less of worries! All you need is to create your own suitable surroundings, that will help you survive while you are lonely, Say a beautiful graffiti on your wall that you look at every time you wake up!
There are millions of similiar things you can work out with and find a solution to it, just remind yourself that,
