A quick look through his Twitter page shows Shashi Tharoor has never been a man of few words. The Thiruvananthapuram Congress MP liberally uses on social media such words that are rarely heard or known, often to take a dig or two at the politicians. In his latest on his Twitter timeline, Tharoor has yet again dug out a little-known word, this time, however, to praise Congress president Rahul Gandhi and, in the process, elightening the Twitterati as always.

Posting an interesting trivia that it is the shortest English word that contains all five vowels, Tharoor tweeted a word from ‘Tharoorasaurus’ — Eunoia. The word means “beautiful thinking; a well mind”. Making things easier for his Twitter followers, he also shared the usage of the word thus: “In rhetoric, eunoia is the goodwill a speaker cultivates between himself &his audience, a condition of receptivity. There was a lot of eunoia evident in @RahulGandhi’s #JanAakroshRally speech today.”

Not surprisingly, Tharoor’s tweet got people on the micro-blogging site talking. While many expressed gratitude and thanked their stars for having decided to follow Tharoor, this one guy declared Tharoor the ‘ENGLISH TUTOR OF INDIA’!
