Good stuff!

Click here if you are keen on reading some really fun stuff regarding words and their wonder, a subject of which I am just as fond as this writer is.
My town is blazing and I am reeling in the heat and praying for rains. I don't dare to pray simultaneously for inspiration for some new blogpost here at this point: the gods might get angry at my importunations. So if you are visiting often in search of something new, do please bear with me for a while.

Quite amusing I must say. Truly there can be nothing greater than language. It defines almost everything in this world in countless ways.

Thank you for sharing the link. Sometimes back I was wondering about the origin of idioms. They are quite interesting too. Request you to please write a post someday about the origin of some of your favorite idioms.

As far as the heat is concerned - I can understand. However, it is winter (coupled with lot of rain and wind) here now. Funny thing is, at times during summer here also we felt cold. [:)]. I am happy to avoid the Delhi kind of summer.

Sir, the link you posted was really good to read. I got to learn so many new words and most of them had been written in such an amusing manner that one can laugh out loud. You were telling us about the English language and this post gives another example in understanding you better. Truly this is one of the best post I have ever read!

Thank you for this gesture. I finf that readership has doubled (from 3 - Santanu, you and someone else - to 6 - including Subhanjan, Tanmoy and Anurupa)!

I had posted another comment but I find that it had vanished into cyberspace (I have a friend whose professor used to explain the meaning of 'vanished' as 'disappeared into vanity'!)
