Humour by Rehana Munir: D is for dictionary

Surrendering oneself to a physical dictionary can be an extreme sport.

To be reunited with an old love is one of life’s sweet pleasures. I’m currently enjoying the rekindling of one such romance, with a well-jacketed Oxford charmer whose linguistic brilliance is reducing me to a blithering fool. I now know how one Mr. Tharoor feels. The seductions of a pocket dictionary, the kind you carry to bed, are not to be scoffed at. They are to be delicately savoured like an elaborate cerebral striptease conducted solely for your gratification.
