Recently something shook me and realised that I need to improve my english.
I went through some wordlists from a Competetive exam book and found out that I was a DUMBO in english !!! To get used to that kind of language, I would have to use those words in real life.
So maybe my next blog will look like this !
Last week we had a bacchanal since one of our onsite team mates had come to India. We were maladroit in the stints given to us, so he decided to have a tutelage for 5 days. For the last five days, we got a smattering, but in the end i was just a charlatan. This night I had decided to forget everything and erode whatever comes in my dish. I reminded myself of the forswear of not having any non veg in the month of august. The starters were ordered. Fish Tikka, Chicken Platter !!! (Not to enumerate that a soup comes before a starter ). I immediately reneged what is said earlier. I avow that I am a gourmand and possess a discretion when I see food ! I ate like a glutton and was very happy to finish whatever was served in my plate. I hate seeing the food plate devoid of food. Though this was a bacchanal, I had a covenant with myself that I will follow teetotalism for the rest of my life, so I just snubbed from the rest of the section and concentrated only on Delicious food. The hotel management had done their homework in gastronomy and were gusto in filling my plate. I am in complete oblivion of how much I ate later, But I remember when I got up from my seat I had an effusion that I have gained at least 2 Kgs of weight today. Again from Now onwards a new perjury,
I will be abstinent, and will relinquish all my gluttonous habits :-).

Hey dude u r simply a prodigy.. Now be my tutor and advocate me...
I think English (or any language) is about its structure, rhythm and grammar and not vocabulary. I don't see why I need to know the subtle differences among 10 words with the same meaning, 8 of whom are not going to be used by me ever.
In fact, using too many 'big' words comes out as an effort towards ostentation. It robs the language of its rhythm.
I will consider a person good in English if he does not make mistakes with the sentences (incorrect expression) rather than someone who may not have a 10-syllable word to express something that could (more) easily have been done with a 2-syllable word.
If you want to improve English, concentrate on the structure, the grammar, the tit-bits like puns, alliterations, allegories and metaphors, instead of expanding your vocabulary to contain words you will never use. Enjoy the beauty of the language.
