Your findings are quite interesting.I can not find even any remote connection between these two words- convulsion and conversion.The word convulsion is often used metaphorically.For example the word 'convulsion' in the sentence 'a society in convulsion' is used to denote an upheaval.
Kalyani,
I also sees no relation except some common letters in these two words supplied.But it is good to explain both.
Through this thread, I wish to draw attention of all to the sentence- "i am agree." commonly used by members.

We should write- "I agree'. I am agree- is not correct expression.
Thanks for introducing this topic, it is quite educative. :)
Let me differentiate between 'very' and 'too'

'very' modifies a verb. it is in good sense. when, we say 'He is very intelligent', this is a good comment.
The use of 'too' is in bad sense. This means 'more than justified. Thus saying- "he is too clever" is a criticism and not compliment. This means that the person is so clever that he may cheat.
Why girls are more beauty than boys- This is title of a thread. I wish to correct it. The sentence should be - why girls are more beautiful than boys. This may also read- 'Why girls have more beauty than boys'.
Beauty is a noun and not adjective. So girls may possess beauty but they are not beauty. In this context, Keats has written- A thing of beauty is joy for ever. He has rightly written 'a thing of beauty'. This could also be 'beautiful thing'. But this would not be poetic.
Gulshan I wanted to ask you one question. Income from boddunan will be taxed under what head of income in Income tax?
Jayen- Income from Boddunan will be taxed under the heading- "Business and profession".
