A beautiful song is being played in the background. Eyes of the lady is being compared to the deep seas. Yes moody and self willed sea. Before you can come up with couple of more thoughts , he blurts out “Awesome”. A single most oft abused word. No I have nothing against the word but I want the users of the word to know that please do differentiate between different degrees of feelings or greatness you attach to different events, different people. Awarding an awesome to everyone is like awarding a gold medal to one clocking 20 seconds for a 100 meter dash. Before the word means everything and loses its charm. Lets put a moratorium on it and use it when it only warrants it. Needs few examples? Cross court shot of Federer . Ball by Warne to get Gatting clean bowled in famous Ashes Test. Poems of Keats. Delivery by Al Pacino in “Scent of Woman” . beautiful articles by Guha, Beautiful Snaps by Rai. But terming every second thing awesome just takes the aura of the word.
Awful was another awe inspiring word which lost its charm because of overuse.
