Improve your Vocabulary

Memorizing lists if words to build your vocabulary is both tedious and unrewarding. Author Ida Ehrlich developed a method of vocabulary building based on the keys of the English language.
In her book Instant Vocabulary, she discusses 259 keys with a list of corresponding words and practice exercises.
By the time you finish reading and working with this book, you will be able to know the meaning of the longest word in the English language, Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, even if you have never seen/heard it before. I have to wait a few more days to get its meaning since I'm half way through the book.

Spectacular View from the sky

Though I'm scared of heights and flying, I always look forward to the fantastic views from the plane's window : of azure skies, cotton candy clouds, stretches of green speckled with lakes, winding rivers, city scapes, night lights and sometimes another aeroplane!
Returning to Mumbai after a great time at a family wedding, I clicked some pictures just before landing. Since we arrived in the evening, a little before sunset, I captured the matte finished, silvery expanse of the Arabian Sea.
A river flows out to meet the Sea..
An off-shore oil plant?
