Isn’t the English language at times funny? <br />For one word can have meanings too many. <br /> <br />For example, take the word ‘cell’. <br />With this single word ‘cell’- <br />what you precisely mean, <br />you can never tell. <br /> <br />A cell is the microscopic unit of life in biology <br />or it could be a chemical device to produce electrical energy. <br /> <br />It could refer to a place where a prisoner is confined <br />or it could denote an area of a spreadsheet defined. <br /> <br />It may mean a very small room in a monastery <br />or a little compartment of a honey comb on a tree. <br /> <br />Of late everything seems pell-mell with the word ‘cell’- <br />for its ring-tone has another interesting story to tell. <br /> <br />So when you just say ‘cell’ <br />what it means we can hardly tell - <br />unless we know the context <br />or wait till what comes next. <br /> <br /> <br />28 June 2010 <br />9: 45 am<br /><br />Gita Ashok<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cell-3/
