Dear Vir,

Visual Dictionaries are available at any good book shop.
Most cost around 500-750 rupees.
Black and white ones are cheaper.
Really, they are a feast for the entire family.
Mine has sections on food, attire, tech, people, space, machines, etc,
etc,etc.

There is an alphabetical, a subject and a thematicindex, so you can search
for the terms any way you like.

The first time I used it was when I attempted to make a continental recipe.
The recipe needed thyme, broccoli, celery..terms that I never knew about.
Then with the help of the V.D.(not venereal disease,ha ha), I could
understand these new terms, and shopping became easy.

Another time, another place.
My daughter needed info on parts of an ocean liner ship. No prizes for
guessing: the V.D. helped out, with floor plans of each deck,and neatly
labeled diagrams of all the parts/cabins/decks, and even crew.
With the advent of the net, books are slowly losing out, but not everyone
has access to the computer.
So, such books will remain evergreen.

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Taher.
