Near - synonyms

-

I was scrolling through the reels in the evening and somehow I came across these three words - Gorgeous, stunning and adorable. All have the same purpose that is to describe the beauty. But when I started to search for the exact meaning of each of these words, it had separate definitions. They can be categorised to be as near - synonyms. Near-synonyms are words that have similar root meanings but differ according to usage and context. Chat gpt gave me this word and it's definition. 

I know that these words have similar meaning but I wanted to know in what context they are used and can they be used interchangeably. Actually they cannot be used, was the answer for the question. Though they describe beauty and are used in the context of positivity, still their intensity differs a lot. Stunning is a word used to describe an awestruck moment and something more extraordinary. Gorgeous is a term used to describe a strong attraction and a kind of pleasing sense involved. The term adorable is used to describe the very small , innocent and cuteness of the thing. Mostly adorable are used in context to enhance the beauty of a baby or animals like puppies etc. 


I knew these words existed in the dictionary and I have invariably used them in many places without even realising they have their own intensity. Now I think I have understood a little about this. When I asked the chatgpt , it too said they were different and gave me a term called  near - synonyms and words like these can be tagged under this category. And I tried playing a quiz game with gpt asking it to send me questions for which I have to use any of these three words according to the context. I did it to have a clear picture of the concept. It gave me 8 questions, I got 4 right and one it told me partially right because it had two answers and the other 3 to be corrected. Nice effort right!!

Initially I used them randomly. Mostly when we react to a text or an image using emojis. 😲,😍,😊 these three emojis, we use them often right! But each has an intensity. There are many other emojis too to describe these three words and these three emojis mentioned above could also be interpreted in other ways but I took it for a basic understanding, that's it.

Lamp lights in the home 🪔

-
 My home was actually bright with the presence of lamps. 'Diya' or 'vilakku' , we commonly call it. This practice of lighting the diyas in the home is something I encountered from my childhood. How as children we used to enjoy the diwali, this was also one of the common festival celebrated. We call it Karthigai deepam . It's true that we don't get an holiday for this festival but still this brings us a feel of joy while we light the lamp inside our home. I still wonder why this festival is celebrated because like how there are stories for celebrating diwali according to Hindu mythology, there must be a story for this festival too but I have no idea on what is the story because my mind was completely concentrating on lighting the lamp and safeguarding it from the wind. You know, it's really hard to do it because this festival is celebrated during the month of Karthigai , considered to be the eighth month according to Tamil calendar and December month accord...

My morning 'Kappi' ☕

-
Friends! Have you ever felt anything while waiting for your coffee? That too early in the morning. Coffee lovers would surely know the pleasantness in this beverage. I am a coffee lover but I also like to have tea. But if you give me it as an option, sorry but I will have to surely take coffee's side. I took this topic today because my morning coffee is actually still staying in my tongue despite having a tasty lunch. That's how much I loved my coffee today and definitely I have to give credits to my granny. Thank you Avva! ( mean- granny in Telugu) I woke up around 6:30am today and you know my alarm today was the invigorating coffee which my granny was casually preparing it for me. I have no experience in bed coffee so I as usual brushed my teeth and took time in relaxing and saw the slow approaching coffee cup to me which completely woke me up from my sleep. You have to definitely imagine this scene, where the approaching coffee when shot in slow motion that is done movies, i...

My mistakes 🙂

-
It's not wrong to make a mistake. We learn from our mistakes. I am still trying to figure out things and during this journey i commit and committed a lot of mistakes. Some mistakes are done unintentionally, some by lack of concentration and some are done out of over confidence. But I understand that it's fine to make mistakes. These mistakes are the actual factors through which I learnt and am learning on how to plan to reach my goal. Some mistakes impacted me emotionally. Though it made me realise the lesson out of it, still the impact of it stay in my mind. I don't want to erase them because they motivate me twice compared to others and make me to think that I should work even more harder so that, I not only accomplish my task but also show that I am too capable of doing things. 'Every cloud has a silver lining'. This is my favourite quote and I want to find my lining through which I could shine. And to achieve this my mistakes help me a lot.  Sometimes I feel low...
