Tharoor gets a taste of his own medicine

Shashi Tharoor often has people reaching for their dictionaries with his use of long and obscure words. Recently he met his match in this teenager from Kerala.

Diya, a student of class 10 from Idukki, introduced him to words that he had never heard of when the parliamentarian made a surprise appearance during a Club FM show featuring her in conversation with RJ Rafi.

Club FM, a private FM radio station in Kerala, recently hosted Diya in a Zoom segment with RJ Rafi to showcase her prowess in English.

The Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram made a surprise appearance to the 10th grader’s evident delight. Diya had earlier messaged Mr Tharoor on Facebook, asking him to pronounce a super-long word.

During the show, Mr Tharoor has to concede defeat as Diya pronounces the tongue-twister in one go, without stumbling or pausing for breath.

“Its not a small thing to remember and repeat the word” Mr Tharoor was quoted as saying. He then congratulates her. “Everyone wouldn’t be able to do it. She has memory power. She has the concentration. My advise is: learn such long words which you can make use of”.
