Congress MP Shashi Tharoor speaks on his new book "Tharoorosaurus". "There are about a thousand words in the Oxford English Dictionary which have come from India," Mr Tharoor said. "I grew up in an India where books were my only escape, only education, and only entertainment," he said. "I did do a weekly column in a Sunday newspaper for word of the week and I thought of 53 words, one for each week of the year and a bonus thrown in for the leap year," he says of his new book.
