Memory trick · Prashant Sir

याद रखने के लिए gro-tesque तोड़िए — जिसका texture ठीक से grow न हो पाए, वह बिगड़ा, अजीब और भद्दा दिखता है। Grotesque = ugly, bizarre, distorted।

To remember it, split it as GRO-TESQUE: something whose texture could not grow properly ends up twisted, odd and ugly. Grotesque = ugly, bizarre, distorted.
