Thanks. ......................

i normally prefer an indian word spelt in english script with numbers an special characters thrown in.
e.g. take the word suraksha, add # and 2020 and you have
surak#sha2020 as a password

huh........................!

pick two or three things you can see, and one you can imagine. Take one syllable from each, and make a gibberish word. The advantage of these "words" is that they are a lot easier to remember than computer-generated strings but can still never be found by a dictionary lookup program. Tailor-made nonsense! Add, as panchabhat suggests, some puctuation and number[s]. Try not to put them at the end, because most people do.

Agree 100 %, non dictionary terms are always better. We can have the advantage of using a local language term and hence not forget it.
