Vaidehi Suryavanshi, Master's in Personnel Management, has problems with the following words when she read the daily first time (She seems to have referred to the dictionary for our benefit):
1] FUROR [used for commotion in Parliament over women's reservation bill]- uproar
2] dishevelled [ comment on Amir Khan's look] - uncombed, messy
3] cuss word - use of bad language
4] racial slur - disgrace, insult
5] brazen and malignent nature ---[ used in context of Indo-Pakistan bilateral relations]-- shameless, bold, nasty
6] eponymous character- temperamental (??)

dear kiran sir, i have purposely chosen certain words which frequently appear in news paper which are at times difficult to grasp at first sight , but later when we read the entire news ,the meaning can be logically applied without use of dictionary[if its not handy]. i have ensured to write meaning of such words so that it will help improve he vocabulary as well as application of such words should be situationally valid.regards
