Well I seriously seem to be spending a lot of time with the letter "G".Many of us are confused with the pronunciation of some words beginning with G as sometimes it takes the phonetics of 'Guh' as in GAIN, or 'Juh' as in GIST and even worse is the pronunciation with "Zhuh" as in GENDARME(zhendaarm) which refers to a member of the French Police.The only good thing about it is that the 'Zhuh' sound is generally for the Foreign Words.
Here is a double dose of words with 'G'--- "Grandiloquent"( "GRAND" + "ELOQUENCE") which means using long or complicated words to impress people.Then there is "Ghoul"('gool') which means a person who revels in what is morbid,loathsome or filthy.

Will try my best to concentrate on a different letter the next time!

I am back with some more inspirations from Greek and Roman Mythology.This time i have got a phrase that i assume many of us have heard befoer...it's called "The Gordian Knot" which means a very difficult or impossible task or problem.Legend has it that King Gordius tied a very complicated knot and said whoever undid it would become the ruler of Asia.Alexander the great cut though the knot and the rest is history.
Well as always I could not help but connect it to the Swayamwara ceremony of Sita in which Rama broke the Bow which no one else could and went on to marry the princess.
Somehow all this proves that somewhere the mythology from different parts of the world confluences to a particular point.
Well let's get more inspired and improve our vocabulary!
