Getting my blog Famous. How????

I was thinking on what would make my blog a success. Get everyone notice me?
Something different. Then I thought may be awesome vocabulary with loads of complicated words
and jargon.

Then I decided to write my today's blog using all the possible words I know. If I do not know some words, I will take the help of the universal Guru- Google.
_________________________________________________________________________________

My alacrity/appetency to share my esurience for Vocabulary with candor would be animadverted by a few. A few would objurgate.But how else do I display how 
erudite I am.
My confusion is that as a response to this writing, would I get impertinent comments or praise?
There may be a few indolent readers, who would not even bother to pick up a dictionary to check the meaning.
But for the maverick that I am,it bothers me the least. Also my predilection for complex words is insatiable.

I don't intend to Vex anyone neither will I coerce anyone to read.But I abhor to accept that after re-reading, I felt haughty.

Woo..what was I trying to say? I Re-read not just once. Then I finally decide to add the actual meaning and make it simple for myself.

My alacrity/appetency(eagerness) to share my esurience(excessive greed) for Vocabulary with candor(honesty) would be animadverted(disapproved) by a few. A few would 
objurgate(criticize).But how else do I display how erudite(learned) I am.
My confusion is that as a response to this writing, would I get impertinent(rude) comments or praise?
There may be a few indolent(lazy) readers, who would not even bother to pick up a dictionary to check the meaning.
But for the maverick(an independent person) that I am,it bothers me the least. Also my predilection(preference) for complex words is insatiable
(incapable of being satisfied).

I don't intend to Vex(annoy) anyone neither will I coerce(to make somebody do something by force) anyone to read.
But I abhor(hate) to accept that after re-reading, I felt haughty(disdainfully proud).


Realization strikes : It's not about the vocabulary show-off that will help me. Even if simple and basic words are used,
thoughts conveyed to the reader would make me a success.

Strategic marketing - Lessons from a Bhelpuri wala

Most of the time while getting back home I join a friend of mine who drops me at a metro station. In my second or third visit itself I noticed a bhelpuri wala. This man is not like other local market tapri wala. He was clean and seemed well organized.  He had 4 plastic covers, each containing onion , tomato, coriander and green chillies (all uncut). Highlight were the fresh lemons. He had papers folded like cones. A box with masala and a cover with loads of mixture. Like any office goer returning home, I too was slightly hungry for some munching. What better than bhel. I liked the way he customized my bhel by checking for the quantity of chilly and lemon. I liked it so much that I got one more for my sis. Thus began the love for bhel. One day it so happened that my husband was about to pick me up and I was waiting just next to the same bhel guy. I was an observer that day. In a span of 20 mins this guy served around 8 customers.  Interesting! I began talking to him(shhh......

Getting into a Child's shoe

Yesterday I had been to my cousin's place who has a 2 years old daughter. It's interesting to see the way the kid has grown. Every day she has a new thing to learn. Now like every 'proud' parent, my cousin started to play the 'tell me who is this' game with the kid. The kid answered patiently and happily coz every answer was followed with applauds. An hour later, we had a new visitor. The neighborhood aunty. She re-started the 'tell me who is this' game. And the kid continued answering with a smile. This made me get into a kids shoe and think of what he/she might be thinking at each age. Let me start with age Zero to 1 year. My parents hug and kiss me, I absolutely love it. I feel wanted. But why do they not talk properly? 'Mela thota baby thoyega,ghummi dayega ' . What the hell!! I do understand the language. Anywayz next comes the uncle next door, I was happy the first time he came and got me a gift. But was followed by a 'lu lu lu lu...

Nick names - why are they important?

I just completed reading The Namesake by Jhuma Lahiri. A very nicely written book. Relations are portrayed beautifully. But what caught my attention was the concept behind nick names. In North India its common to have Nick names like monu,sonu, guddi, etc. In South India, you may have multiple names, but all the names will be meaningful ones. For e.g., Sita is the name given by elders, in school she will be Gayatri. But in Bengalis, it is a custom to have a bhalo naam and a daak naam. Bhalo naam is the formal name by which one would be known in school or college or office. Daak naam is the pet name ones family keeps. Selecting this pet name in itself is a task. And these names are weird, Bulty, Rumi, Budi and so on. But there lies a deeper meaning to this tradition. These names are meant to make one realize that life is not always serious, life is not just about struggle, life is not just about running for survival. Life at times is just for one self. Life is sweet cute and meanin...
