Beautiful expression 

We are all fascinated by what’s now known as Tharoorian English and can witness number of posts and reels on social media on how a particular phrase or sentence would appear by using Tharoor like words.

But beauty of any language does not lie in use of difficult words, but its attractiveness to the readers’ eyes. 

While reading the latest book by my favourite author Dan Brown, I came across the following piece of conversation:

“I’ve witnessed your proclivity for proximity to peril.

And I your predilection for paranoid presumptions!”

The words used are quite common that are part of our daily conversations, but their use and sequencing make it very pleasant and poetic. 

This is one aspect that all of us – budding, published and aspiring authors- need to work on to make our writing more engaging to the reader. 

One thought on “Beautiful expression 

  1. Beautifully expressed! I couldn’t agree more.

    The true elegance of a language lies not in the complexity of its vocabulary but in its ability to communicate ideas with clarity, rhythm, and impact. A writer’s brilliance is measured not by how many difficult words they know, but by how naturally they can touch the reader’s mind and heart.
