I am back. Once again. After a hiatus, this time, of more than a month. I think I will dispense with the usual “this time I am going to be regular with the posts” guff and get right down to business.
It is serious GD time for all you CET aspirants and the way to use Cafezika is use the comments section to put in points using the Idea Generation Techniques.
Please put in only ONE point per comment. I will drop in from time to time and give gyan on the kind of points made and also the points that could have been made.
The topic for the day is:
Mumbai the City of Dreams is turning into an Urban Nightmare
GD time once again. I am sure that a whole lot of you are either about to participate in GDs or are in preparation for the GDs through the CET. This series of moderated GDs is for your benefit.
Moderated because I will drop in from time to time and give gyan on the kind of points made and also the points that could have been made.
The topic for the day is:
Reservation for women in Parliament is going to change the face of politics in India.
A Collective Noun refers to a number of persons or things taken together and spoken of as a whole.
The first collection of English collective nouns was put together in 1486 and is traditionally ascribed to Dame Juliana Barnes. Her collection was probably originally written in French, putting together earlier works on the same subject, but Dame Juliana undoubtedly invented several of the terms.
A few of these terms are:
A dole of doves
A turmoil of porpoises
A shoal of minnows
A business of ferrets
A party of jays
An unkindness of ravens (so called because the birds were thought to push their young from the nest to teach them self-sufficiency).
A superfluity of nuns
A prudence of vicars
Collective nouns are also used to make fun of or to praise other groups. For e.g.
A yawn of politicians
An eloquence of lawyers (usually used by lawyers) or A deceit of lawyers (used by everyone else).
There are a lot more such terms. In fact I think there are about 164 such terms put together by Dame Juliana. If you can think of some of them can you add to the collection in the Comments section.
Time for another GD. There seems to be a lot happening in the world around us these days. Unfortunately. So the topic of discussion for today is also on current affairs.
The topic is:
India is a soft state that does not have the political will to combat terrorism.
And I am back. And I will totally ignore that fact that I was AWOL all these days and get down to the business at hand. (Even I can be embarrassed about my laziness you know.)
Anyway GD time once again.
Aaj ka topic:
Did Rahul Gandhi out-manoeuvre the Shiv Sena politically on his recent trip to Mumbai?
Let’s take a look at anagrams today. An anagram is a word, phrase, or sentence formed from another by rearranging its letters e.g. “Angel” is an anagram of “glean.”
I am giving the rearranged word(s) and the meaning of the original word. You need to work out what the original word is. Note: If you are submitting the form you need to input your name without fail.
