The motive of this thread is to increase vocab. we all do come across new and fascinating words but hardly we bother ourselves to peep into dictionary.

So wth the use of this thread if one can learn atleast one or two words a day , i guess its worth it !!

Try and come up wth more useful and handy words which are useful in our normal or proff life and try and use them!!

Hope this thread wud do a lil for everyone !!
