Here's what the 'praise words' used by Shashi Tharoor for Chetan Bhagat mean
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor is famous for his grasp over English language and his unending vocabulary. Tharoor regularly uses high sounding English words that even common English speaking people have not even heard of which always brings him in the news.
This time it was no different as the Congress MP was on target while responding to a request of the author Chetan Bhagat. On Sunday (September 13), Tharoor tweeted the link of an article written by Chetan Bhagat about how the youth of the country need to concentrate on GDP and unemployment rather than discussing Sushant Singh Rajput's death case.
"Superb piece by @chetan_bhagat on all that ails our country & what we should do about it. Chetan’s great virtue is the simplicity and directness of his writing. His message is clear & I hope his fans in the government act on it," Tharoor tweeted.
However, Chetan Bhagat was not very happy with the simple words used by Tharoor to praise him and requested him to use some big words.
In response to Bhagat's request, Tharoor tweeted, "Sure, @chetan_bhagat! It’s clear you are not sesquipedalian nor given to rodomontade. Your ideas are unembellished with tortuous convolutions & expressed without ostentation. I appreciate the limpid perspicacity of today’s column."
The three-line Tweet has around 7 'big words', know there meaning here:
