Definitions

This post is dedicated to ENGLISH... sounds crazy huh? I learnt the definition of a definition, the definition of an extended definition (i dunno wat the hell is EXTENDED DEFINITION) and more about definitions in SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL ENGLISH FOR ENGINEERS-II (:P)...The next period was physics... My physics sir always speaks a lot... He was speaking about imagination... So somewhere in my head i got this idea of defining something... The first one is IMAGINATION (thanks to my physics sir and English)..
IMAGINATION: If you ask anybody "wat is imagination?" their immediate response would be "thinking an event or concept which has not yet occured". But thats not it.Imagination is an overstatement or exaggeration or build-up(:P)..
Take the normal alien movies.. We have seen aliens having a pair of hand or more in some cases, eyes,nose,mouth just like humans but the numbers differ.. The writer or the person who creates the character develops the alien BY EXAGGERATING HUMAN MORPHOLOGY...
Take the fiction novels... They develop their ideas around an object present at that time... My favorite game HALO develops around genetics,information technology of this age... The harry potter series... Everything...
The next definition is different. I purloined this one from a book which is not released yet (BOMB BEYOND AGES BY ARAVIND KUMAR :P)... This definition is about nature... here it goes..
NATURE:Somebody say nature is love.. some say nature=pulchritude.. some say nature is default... But the definition of nature is capricious... It changes from time to time.. What we call it as nature today is not natural some days before... We say nature is "the natural physical world including plants and animals and landscapes etc". But after some 100 years they will say "zoo is a natural place,please save nature!!". Or maybe a person installed with an I-POD in his spinal cord will become natural...!!!
Hope you had something to think on and comment some uncommon definitions that u have come across like U.T- Unwanted Test :P...
ciya!!!
