Susegad is a concept which is associated with Goa. It is derived from the Portuguese word sossegado which means quiet. Sadly, the word has acquired negative connotations and is taken to mean a relaxed attitude and enjoyment of life.
However, this is not what susegad meant. It means contentment, and being at peace with yourself.

Got an apt word
word-nerd
Came across this in a sentence which tells of an argument with a person who has a fantastic vocabulary. Such people can use words to turn and twist any argument in their favor, and you are left wondering where the argument started and where it went and indeed, where it ended!

Check this out
Fiction makes the world real.
And another one:
Reality is in the eye of the beholder.
A suggested read - Revenge Wears Prada - for those of us who loved The Devil Wears Prada, if just for the last sentence in this review:
I’d rather work for Miranda Priestly any day.
