Memory trick · Prashant Sir

‘Austerity measures’ सोचिए — जब government हर फ़ालतू ख़र्च काटकर सख़्ती और सादगी से चलती है। Austere वही सख़्त, कठोर और सादा अंदाज़ है — जैसे कोई साधु जो सिर्फ़ ज़रूरी चीज़ें रखता है।

Think of ‘austerity measures’, when a government cuts all extra spending and lives strictly and simply. Austere is that same strict, severe and plain manner, like a sage who keeps only the bare necessities.
