Most of the tweets and speeches of Indian politician Shashi Tharoor make us go back and forth on Google looking for the meaning of some of the words he used in them.
He made us aware that words like ‘Floccinaucinihilipilification’ and ‘Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia’ exist and how we must use them. So, it’s pretty imperative to have a dictionary handy when listening to him or reading anything written by him.

Recently, when a guy went to hear Tharoor speak live, he made the wisest decision of carrying the OG oxford dictionary with him to the auditorium.
Taking to Twitter, show host R Lungleng shared a video that shows a man sitting with a dictionary on his lap in the audience while the MP for Thiruvananthapuram is seated on the stage, waiting for his turn to deliver his speech.
The video is allegedly from Nagaland where Tharoor was addressing the youth at ‘The Lungleng Show’.
Sharing the video, Lungleng wrote, “Someone in Nagaland literally brought Oxford Dictionary to my show to listen to Dr. @ShashiTharoor. Bringing Dictionary along was just a joke statement until I saw this.”

While that guy might have brought it for fun, I think it was the need of the hour.
