A blog which won't hold meaning for anyone else but me..







This is in continuation to my passion to learn new words and
to use them, ya ya i sound like aspiring to be lexicographic.. May be you are
not wrong.. :)I wish i can fuel my mind with all the words and can make
beautiful bouquet for words(poems or letters) for my friends.
So all i am going to do in this blog is to write down all the words i am
learning..

so the first one is adulation
:: Means praising somebody more than required/deserved, flattering
http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/Opinion/Letters_to_Editor/Dont_pamper/articleshow/2406943.cms

In the present context, this is the best news article to attach with my first
word.

Okay now there are three words which are almost similar but are of course different
.. not exactly homologous.

These are Advent , Avert, Advert
Advent
:: arrival
Avert
:
: prevent , avoid, turn away
Advert :
: To refer to as in Advertisement

Yes this next word is my favourite

Adventitious :: Now in Botony it refers to a structure which is grown out of place /on its own ���

��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� Scientific American 1849

TO PREVENT INCRUSTATIONS IN STEAM BOILERS

Mr. J. Horsley, in the Isle of Wight, for substances to prevent incrustations. He
employs for ordinary sea water, two drachms of the oxalate of potassa combimied
with two ounces of ammonia phosphate of soda to each gallon of water operated on.
This precipitates the adventitious matter in the boiler, and keeps it from forming on
the plates in crusts. It is evident that this is far too expensive an anti- crustant ever to
come into use; but he states that this mixture will render salt water fresh and fit for
common cooking uses. This itself is a chemical fact of no small value.
n.However in normal use it means "Added extrinsically; not essentially inherent."

The next word is derived from history and it is

Aegis:: Hmm the only analogy i can think of from our mythology is of ram band", something which will not fail .. similarly this word is from greek mythology and is name of the mythological protective shield of Zeus. And in mordern english it means a shield, protection, or sponsorship. The concept of doing something "under someone"s �gis" means doing something under protection of a powerful, knowledgeable, or benevolent source. The word �gis is identified with protection by a strong force.See this these guys make aegis helmets :) http://www.tackroominc.com/riding-helmets-aegis-riding-helmets-c-22_201.html

So the last one for the day is

Affable: Which means ,warm friendly , easily approachable.. You know when i first read this word i thought of my sweet friend Pooja.. my other colleague named Manomina Bose ya Smita also makes her place in my mind..[I know you all dont know these but these girls r for my association with this word] people who are raelly sweet and just by their presence things starts becoming vibrational..

Bryan Adams.. here i am

Here I am - this is me

There"s no where else on earth I"d rather be

Here I am - it"s just me and you

And tonight we make our dreams come true



It"s a new world - it"s a new start

It"s alive with the beating of young hearts

It"s a new day - it"s a new plan

I"ve been waiting for you

Here I am



Here we are - we"ve just begun

And after all this time - our time has come

Ya here we are - still goin" strong

Right here in the place where we belong



Here I am - this is me

There"s no where else on earth I"d rather be

Here I am - it"s just me and you

And tonight we make our dreams come true



Here I am - next to you

And suddenly the world is all brand new

Here I am - where I"m gonna stay

Now there"s nothin standin in our way

Here I am - this is me


So here i am. .. with my new set of words..
Vaise since i have mentions Bryan Adams then i can certainly not miss the the most apt song here..

It"s only words and words are all i have to take your heart away.

So here i am , with words i have..he he he
I have been jabbering for quit sometime in my blog so my next word is
Jabber:: just speak out without much thinking.. an unintelligent speach.. chatter rapidly..

Jeopardized :: To put at risk, endangered

Jettison:� meaning to throw or eject from a ship, aircraft or vehicle; or discard or abandon
Human Jettison: Lifeboat Ethics and Economic Efficiency

Edify: To instruct and inform someone to uplift morally and spiritually.


I"m lucky enough to have seen so many angels. Every day I come
across those who get on with the work that God has put them on earth to
do without fussing, those who encourage, those who edify, those who
live a life of intercession. They"re the angels I see and they"re the
angels God see"s too!

i dont know what to say about this word though its a negative word still i kind of liked it
Amok (amuk) : when used as an adjective it means :frenzied as if possessed by a demon
�but as an adverb it means : wildly without self-control , in a murderous frenzy

Running amok most commonly used phrase,�� "to go mad with rage" (uncontrollable rage). Although commonly
used in a colloquial and less-violent sense, the phrase is particularly
associated with a specific sociopathic culture-bound syndrome
in Malaysian culture. In typical a case of running amok, a male who has
shown no previous sign of anger or any inclination to violence will
acquire a weapon and, in a sudden frenzy, will attempt to kill or
seriously injure anyone he encounters. Amok episodes of this kind
normally end with the attacker being killed by bystanders, or
committing suicide.

Anachronism:: an error involving time in a story; something
or someone misplaced in time
An anachronism is anything that is temporally incongruous—that is, it appears in a temporal context in which it seems sufficiently out of place as to be peculiar,
incomprehensible or impossible. The item is often an object, but may be
a verbal ex-pression, a technology, a philosophical idea, a musical
style, a material


coerce:: To cause to do through pressure or necessity, by physical, moral or intellectual means.

Ambrosia:
The food of god , In ancient Greek mythology, Ambrosia is sometimes the food, sometimes the drink, of the gods, often depicted as conferring immortality on whoever consumes it. Nectar is the drink and ambrosia the food of god.

Drawing a blank:to be unable to get information, think of something, or achieve something.
Ask them about the car"s performance and you"ll draw a blank.
We"ve asked 2000 schools to join the campaign, but so far we"ve drawn a blank. (= none of them agreed)
