Cum Laude

Couple of days back my friend Peyush asked me about the meaning of 'Cum Laude' which as per Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary pronunced as kum-'lau-d&, -dE; "k&m-'lo-dE. I could not courage to guess it, Are you at a first thought ??

Well, it means With honor; with academic distinction (adj). Like "a cum laude graduate" or in adverb "he graduated cum laude". So, Are you a cum laude graduate ?

Tanmoy... sorry this is an unrelated comment!

Thanks for dropping to read "Irodov".
Visalandhra book house is in Hyderabad. There are 3-4 branches. But the most prominent ones which have MIR publisher books still, are:

1. Visalandhra Book House
Abids, Hyderabad.
(This one is beside NTR's old house in Abids, beside Troop Bazar lane)

2. Visalandhra Book House
Sultan Bazar (Kothi), Hyderabad
(This is very near to Kothi Clock Tower, on the left when you are going towards Badi Chowdi)

Ask anybody in that area, they will tell you.

Please ask for any more info.
