People
love to travel and most would say “WORDS are not enough to describe neither
interpret” how they feel before, during or after they travel. So I decided to make some research and do a
compilation of WORDS with eclectic meanings yet have esoteric
recognitions.
I have
no intentions of being a Lexicographer or so but I’m sure you will be surprised
to stumble unto this massive treasure chest of WORDS that are literary not just
gems for a wanderlust but might be a pabulum for a ravenous mind.
Let me
start with the word where I have derived my blog name.
