Memory trick · Prashant Sir
Philistine को 'feel + less' से याद कीजिए — जो art और culture के लिए कम feel करे। Music, painting, किताबें उसे छूती नहीं; वह सिर्फ़ price tag देखता है।
Break PHILISTINE into 'feel-less-tine': a person who feels less for art and culture. Music, paintings and books leave him cold; he sees only the price tag.
