Presenting the ‘Picture Dictionary’
Visually appealing and for the easy understanding of English vocab…




Plagiarism

Taking someone's words or ideas as if they were your own
(Eg: Call it copying, stealing, or procuring illegally. Anu Malik does it all and doesn’t even worry about copyrights. He might be against music piracy but definitely supportive of lifting tunes without worrying about a legal term that sounds like ‘Copyrights’
But must say the man is finally giving us some fine tunes lately that he claims to be his own)




Vampire
Corpse that sucks the blood of humans
(Eg: Veeru paaji’s “Khuthe kamine main tera khoon pe jaunga. Need I say more?)





Poaching
Illegal hunting
(Eg: Media’s favourite punch bag. Salman Khan, known more for his ‘bare-all’ stunts than his acting prowess. He was the man behind making black bucks more popular than Starbucks.)

Jilted
To deceive or drop (a lover ) suddenly or callously.
(Eg: Only that in this case its Sallu who is the jilted one (courtesy: Aishwarya). The victim.)

Obsession
Compulsive preoccupation with a fixed idea or an unwanted feeling or emotion, often accompanied by symptoms of anxiety.
(Eg: That’s right. Salman is always preoccupied with making phone calls. He just cannot get over the obsession. Methinks, somebody should inform him about Skype. That could save a lot of his money draining into phone bills)

Truly, a man of many words…







Verbose
Using or containing a great and usually an excessive number of words
(Eg: We all know how when Mr. Mahesh Bhatt speaks, we are at a loss of words. That’s because he is using up all the words you may later find in the dictionary while you refer to make sense of his long-winded extravagant speech. His inability to speak in plain words will even raise the dead from their graves.
Same goes for jargon, clichés etc.)




Stammer
To introduce involuntary repetitions and pauses into one's speech
(Eg: King Khan’s favourite pickup like ‘KKKKKKiran….’ Or his staggering, stammering laugh…that reminds you of a racehorse)

  • Hmmm...well manju iam a constant admirer of all blogs forever I guess....
    I think I can add upon many things to your bolg to make it more attracting and catching "everyone's" attention.
    How could you forget the one and only Mallika Sherwat where you can quote enormous cliched adjectives...the bold as known for her bold scenes and "remembered" as she is remembered and talked about in every possible talk show on Indian television...be it BIG FIGHT or Koffe with Karan or Just Pooja....mallika is always omnipresent
