For all those people who dont know me personally, let me tell you something about myself. In my all India CBSE exams in standard 10th, the least marks I scored were in a subject called Science... but I opted for the science stream.Thereafter, I have graduated with a course in IT and went on to get a masters in Marketing. Where am I working now? A technology company providing solutionsfor the financial markets. I have no qualms about admitting that I am not very Tech-savvy and finance is greek and latin to me... but then language has always fascinated me. I feel great if I read a well-written article or a good book.
When in school, I had some very knowledgable English teachers. You all might have attended lectures on figures of speech. Among the 20-odd that were there, one which caught my fancy was oxymoron. I still remeber the example the teacher gave... XYZis a gentle giant
An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms. Over the years, I have heard a lot of examples of Oxymoron and i love hearing them in a line.
Let me quote some instances.
Sachin Tendulkar is insanely talented ... as told by a famous cricket commentator
Kareena Kapoor is brutually honest ... read this in a magazine
He is a dumb genius
I heard SRK saying in an interview " For that , you got to be obnoxiously handsome... just like me"
There are so many such fascinating ones... and i am sure the people who happen to read this will genuinely believe that I have gone berserk or I have become "the last five alphabets of the title of this article "... but there is a certain minority out there who are fascinated by such words. .. and to that certain minority ... pls feel free to add to the list above
