Join the dots

Each word is like a dot. A drop. Each word strives to come together and form a story. All the dots together give shape to any shape. Every drop counts to form an ocean.

In order to fare well in CAT, I am trying to improve my vocabulary. Improving lexicon through reading novels and newspaper is a secondary objective. The main purpose is to satiate my hunger for stories, exotic plots, breathtaking locales and debonair people. So, the new words that I come across do not lodge into my memory as permanent residents. They register themselves as foreign tourists (the words/phrases English has borrowed from sister languages), visitors (words that I found new/interesting but remembered for only some time) and many a times as useless acquaintances (whose meaning I may decipher from the context but cannot use in my own sentences).  This handicap incapacitates me.  Every time this sinking feeling addles my preparation. To overcome this debility, I have decided to write something every now and then. This little paragraph/ poem/dialogue will contain all the words I learn that day. I wish to continue this to the acme of perfection. Within a few days, I would like to see my fears allaying. This millstone must be dealt with. With this kind of determination I thus herald a journey towards verbal cynosure.
