Nitish Kumar's Master stroke

In a master stroke, JD(U) Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar resigned on moral grounds without asking for dissolution of Bihar Vidhan Sabha.

Now all eyes are on BJP poaching JD(U) MLAs to form the next government thus any poaching by BJP is sure to earn it bad reputation.
Meanwhile JD(U) Chief Sharad Yadav tries to forge alliance with RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav to again form JD(U) government.

BJP has tried to counter Nitish's move by calling his resignation as 'emotionally black mailing the rebellious MLAs'.

Dear BJP and JD(U),
We understand!

Foot Note:
The move has element of strategy of using media attention just like AAP (28 seats) ,chief convenor, Arvind Kejriwal's declared no interest to form the government with assertion that BJP would poach MLAs to form the goverment in the Delhi Vidhan Sabha.

This focussed media attention on BJP (31 seats) which needed only 5 MLAs to reach the majority mark in 70 member assembly. As a result of media attention BJP could not garner the required support by poaching MLAs.

How to improve your english vocabulary

Vocab is an essential component of language. It helps you to present your ideas beautifully as well as read, understand and appreciate other people's ideas. So do not see vocab as merely a hurdle to be crossed to get through but also as something that would improve your personality and appreciation of finer things.

To start with
Why do we fall short of words when we are expressing our view?
Either we do not know the word or we do not remember it at that time.

So
Step 1 Know words:

You can get a good list from reading a newspaper, magazine

To begin with, I would recommend
Read just two pages of newspaper daily
Front page of newspaper, Editorial page of newspaper

When you get a difficult word, mark them and find the meanings. But don't stop there
Look at the origin of the word (It helps you to understand why the word means what it means and it can also be used to group words as we will see later)

And now comes the difficult part
Write the word, origin, meaning and the sentence.
Believe me, it works! and you will never forget the word. You would not even need to revise.

Step 2: Remembering the words

Our mind has difficulty remembering a lot of things separately. It is far easier to club things together under a heading. So just remember the heading and all the small things come to you.

For example
Think about move
What words come to your mind?

You would think walk, run, gallop,
Now I come across a new word called 'amble' (means leisurely walk). So I add the word to the heading move

So next time I think of move
My mind automatically thinks walk, run, gallop, amble

So as I find more new words I put them under generic headings. The mind does the rest.
Off the top of my head I can associate with move: walk, run, dash, gallop, scamper, scurry, sprint, flee, amble, saunter, trudge, cavort, stroll, dawdle...

So just put words, usage under generic headings and they will come to you.

Using Origin to group words: You can also remember words by using origin. Get the origin of the word and find all words having the same etymology and group them together. Now, You can act pedantic too while telling somebody about a word... :P
