Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Vain और vein (नस) एक जैसे सुनाई देते हैं। ‘जिसकी वेन-वेन में घमंड हो, वही vain।’ अपने रूप और काबिलियत पर ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा घमंड। Noun vanity है।

VAIN sounds like VEIN. A vain person has pride running through every vein of his body — he thinks far too highly of his looks and abilities. The noun is vanity.
