Praveen , 13th bull has commented on my behalf.

Simply superb enthusiam , keep up the good work.

PS : I believe by the time , I learn all the vocabulary , I would have prepared myself for GRE as well ;)

Have you tried Word Smart, Word Smart II from princeton review?
These are vocabulary books that concisely summarize important words for tests including GMAT and other use of every day life.

Try it! It's very helpful because English is not my mother tongue and I was looking for a vocabulary book that covers important educated words... plus I see most of the words that you guys mentioned above are covered in the book.

Praveen,
Thanks for the good work. Please continue

what is the source praveen can you tell us?
