Hello people
Part 2 of Indian English where we cover Casual references in english desi Style!!!!
Casual use of words yaar (Hindi: यार meaning - friend, buddy, dude, man, mate), bhai (Hindi: भाई meaning - brother) and bhaiyya (Hindi: भइया meaning - elder brother) much as with the American English 'man' or 'dude', as in " Arey! C'mon, yaar! Don't be such a killjoy!", "Long time no see, bhai." or "Ay, bhaiyya! Over here!" Yaar is the equivalent of mate in Australian and British English. The word boss is also sometimes used in this way, among friends but also to male strangers, as in "How much to go to the train station, boss?", or "Good to see you, boss."
Informal and sometimes coarse assignations of familial relationships to friends. For example, alliyan in Kerala, machan in Chennai, mama in Hyderabad literally meaning uncle and sala (Hindi: साला) in Mumbai literally mean brother-in-law, but are informally used by the youth to refer to each other. Targeted at a stranger, such words may take a derogatory meaning (like "sleeping with your sister").
Use of interjections Arey!(Hindi: अरे) and acchha! (Hindi: अच्छा) to express a wide range of emotions, usually positive though occasionally not, as in "Arey! What a good job you did!", "Accha, so that's your plan." or "Arey, what bad luck, yaar!"
Use of the word "chal" (Hindi: चल - Imperative of the verb "to walk") to mean the interjection "Ok", as in "Chal, I gotta go now" at the end of a phone call
Use of T-K in place of O.K. when answering a question, as in "Would you like to come to the movie?" – "T-K, I'll meet you there later." (Hindi: ठीक है Transliteration: Theek Hai, literally meaning "fine is", meaning "okay"). T-K is an anglophonic homophone of the Hindi phrase "Theek hai" similar to the French "Ça va" similar to the English phrase "Alright then."
Use of oof! (Hindi: ऊफ़ - an interjection in Hindi) to show distress or frustration, as in "Oof! The baby's crying again!"
Along with "oof!", there is also "off-oaf!" [of.fof] which is in a more whining voice which kind of means "oh, no!". Not many Indians will say this, but it is used widely in Hindi movies or soap operas. The South Indian equivalent is "Aiyo!" [əiː.jo],(Kannada: ಐಯ್ಯೊ) expanded to "Aiyaiyo!"(Kannada: ಐಐಯೊ) in proportion to the provocation. The latter phrase is the trademark of the South Indian, as caricatured in Hindi movies.
Use of "Wah" (Hindi: वाह) to express admiration, especially in musical settings, as in "Wah! Wah! You play the sitar so well!"
Use of "just" and "simply" in a seemingly arbitrary manner in southern India, especially Kerala. e.g. Q:"Why did you do it?" A:"Simply!" or "Just I was telling to [sic] him.
"Lady's finger" means "Okra" (as in some other English-speaking countries). "Brinjal" or "Bai-ngan" (Hindi: बेंगन) means eggplant or aubergine.
"Hill Station" means mountain resort.
"Hotel" means "restaurant" (as well as specifically "big hotel") in India: "I ate in the hotel". "Lodge" is used to refer to small hotels. Sometimes "Lodge" refers to a place where you stay (in rooms) and "Hotel" refers to a place where you eat.
"stepney" or "stepaney" refers to a car's spare tyre. It is also used to refer to a mistress (i.e., a "spare" wife!)
"specs" means spectacles or glasses (as in colloquial UK English).
"cent per cent" means "100 per cent" as in "He got cent per cent in maths."
"centum" is also frequently used to refer to 100.
Overuse of the word "Please" as an interjection, often over-stressing the vowel. This could stem from "please" being implied within the verb conjugation in Hindi, causing speakers to overcompensate for its absence in English.
Use of the verb "sit" in place of "located" e.g. "Where are you sitting?" for "Where are you located? (for one's location in a school or office but not home)"
Use of "chumma chumma" (Tamil: சும்ம means simply) at the beginning of a sentence. (eg. chumma chumma dont talk)
Unnecessary repetition of a word to stress on the general idea. Used mostly with words like Yes No Right Ok etc. (e.g. A: Did you finish reading the book ? B: Yes yes !!) It is generally accompanied by an emphatic shake of the head.

Indian English - Part I - Idioms
Hey guys
The last time I was in the US, I had gone to a Subway and had a pretty tough time understanding what the man at the counter was saying.... Then I leant that we in India have our own way of talking English..... Here is the first part on the common idoms that we use.....
First-class - also pronounced "fus-class" or slurred together; indicates high-quality material, used to describe many things - lodging, cars, food, drink, people.
boy/girl - unmarried persons of any age. Matrimonial ads might describe the candidate as a 'boy, age 28 yrs'. The words 'man' and 'woman' are thought to imply lack of virginity and are thus particularly inappropriate in matrimonial ads unless the candidate is divorced.
B.A. - fail - used in matrimonial ads to describe someone who did not pass the final examinations but was admitted to college and did take college classes, as opposed to someone who did not go to college. 'Higher Secondary (fail)' and 'M.A. (fail)' are similar.
B.A. - pass - used as the opposite to the above
Condoled - as in 'The railway minister condoled the families of those killed in the accident'.
max (pronunciation) - for 'Mathematics or maths'.
Gone for a six or Taken a six - to mean something got ruined. (Origins linked to game of Cricket)
Eve teasing - 'Sexual harassment'
Pre-cap - 'like re-cap at beginning of serial TV show, a pre-cap at the end previewing the next one'
Convented - 'A girl educated well in Christian convent-style school'
I got a firing/I was fired by him - 'I got yelled at by him'
Sharma sir is not here - same as Sharma-ji is not here, a respectful address. No knighthood suffix.
I will make a move now - means 'I'm leaving', not 'making a move on someone', or anything related to chess.
Where are you put up? means 'Where do you live'?. Heard often in S.India.
Where do you stay? is the same as 'Where do you live?' or 'Where's your house?'
Cheap and best means good quality at a low price – i.e. - a great deal
I don't take meat/milk/whatever - 'I don't eat meat/ drink milk' etc
It is worst - 'It is really bad or of very poor quality'.
She is innocently divorced or divorced (innocent)- not the party at fault, or the marriage was not consummated..
Wheatish complexion - Seen in matrimonial ads. Means 'not dark skinned, tending toward light'
"What is [your] good name?" to mean "What is your full name?" is a carryover from the Hindi expression "Shubh-naam" (literally meaning "auspicious name") or the Urdu "ism-e shariif" (meaning "noble name"). This is similar to the way Japanese refer to the other person's name with an honorific "O-" prefix, as in "O-namae" instead of the simple "namae" when referring to their own name. Such a questioner wants to know the person's formal or legal given name that may appear on a passport, as opposed to the pet name they would be called by close friends and family.
"Out of station" to mean "out of town". This phrase has its origins in the posting of army officers to particular 'stations' during the days of the East India Company.
"Join duty" to mean "reporting to work for the first time". "Rejoin duty" is to come back to work after a vacation.
"Hello, What do you want?": used by some when answering a phone call, not perceived as impolite by most Indians
"Tell me": used when answering the phone, meaning "How can I help you?"
"send it across" instead of "send it over", as in "send the bill across to me" instead of "send the bill over to me".
"order for food" instead of "order food", as in "Let's order for sandwiches".
"What a nonsense/silly you are!" or "Don't be doing such nonsense any more.": occasional - idiomatic use of nonsense/silly as nouns (although this use of nonsense is not uncommon in British English).
"pass out" is meant to graduate, as in "I passed out of the university in 1995." Or it could also mean to be fast asleep.
"go for a toss" is meant to go haywire or to flop, as in "my plans went for a toss when it started raining heavily." Another cricket analogy.
"funny" is meant to replace not only "odd"/"strange" but "rude"/"precocious"/"impolite" as well. "That man was acting really funny with me, so I gave him a piece of my mind"
"on the anvil" is used often in the Indian press to mean something is about to appear or happen. For example, a headline might read "New roads on the anvil".
"tight slap" to mean "hard slap".
I have some doubts - 'I have some questions'
Timepass - 'Doing something for leisure but with no intention or target/satisfaction' For example, "Hows the movie?" reply - "Just timepass man... nothing great about it."
"maximum" is used where many other dialects of English would prefer "most."
Divorce (with the emphasis on the i as in pronouncing the word eye) same meaning but different pronunciation
Boss used to refer to any person, regardless of a superior at a place employment, as in (to a waiter) "Boss, come here, [take our order]."

Supreme decisiveness vs Sickening indecisiveness
Hello ppl
Too verbose a title!!! Well.....could not think of anything else to compare 2 nations' reactions to the same external stimuli. One, a nation of hardly a million people and a size not to be too proud of... and the other, an international behemoth... the cynosure of all eyes..... The world's fastest growing economy and largest democracy..... The stimulus - the same - meaningless terrorism.... For all the Einstein's who have not guessed it yet, I am talking about India and Israel.
Israel - One of the smallest countries in the world and also one of the newest countries in the world (Independence 1960s). Their only claim to the land that they are settled on is that their founding father Abraham bought that piece of land centuries ago for 400 silver coins. Surrounded on all sides by formidable enemies in Palestine, Egypt, Syria etc. Located in one of the most volatile regions in the world......
India - A global behemoth, the largest democracy in the world, a culture that has remained unchanged over more than 10000 yrs... established social structures, an economic powerhouse et al... Only major formidable enemy - Pakistan
Pakistan, Palestine - 2 examples of rogue states whose basis of survival is sponsor of terrorism and whose claim to fame is continual neglect and feigned ignorance of international norms.
The Reactions post attacks from the respective stimuli....
Day 1 (T+1) - Israeli government condemns the attack even as the air force starts aerial strikes in Gaza. In India, we start our discussion......
T + 2 - Israel continues the aerial strikes while no foreign power except France condemns the attacks. In India, we continue our discussion.....
T + 3 - Israel starts to launch ground attacks at Gaza... Troops move in to take control over Gaza and start moving towards the southern border. In India, we continue our discussion...
And so it goes on...... Israel keeps doing what they need to do while keeping the international community at a distance and we keep discussing......
I am tempted to compare similar reactions at Entebbe vis-a-vis Kandahar......
What comes out starkly is that we as a country, as an economy lack the balls(apologies for the language) to take any decision whatsoever...... It sickens me to realize that probably 3 yrs down the line when I write my blog, India would still be discussing the military option!!!!
What a joke!!!!!

Recession Pangs!!!!
Hi Folks
Wshng al my redrs a vry hppy nu yr.......
In case you are wondering why.... Cost Cutting my friend, Cost Cutting.... lesser words, lesser efforts, lesser time spent and as they say time is money.....
Recession, Recession.....seems to be all I hear nowadays everywhere right from the corporate honchos on TV, news channels (but of course), company execs, leadership, colleagues, my newspaper guy, teashop owner everyone!!! I believe New year celebrations across the country were pretty muted due to the R-word.....
Suddenly, increments, bonuses and all the other perks that every employee enjoyed even without working is all going down the drain for no fault of theirs.... It is lately in vogue just to have a job!!!
Governments are pumping money into the economy, inflation is at an all time high, real estate is as cheap as it can get, banks are facing the crunch etc etc.... the list seems to be endless....
Cant think of anything much else to say as enough has been said and discussed about this topic.... Just wanted to pen my observations. Apologies to those who thought that this was going to be another flurry of expletives and people bashing.....
Here is hoping that 2009 turns out to be a much better year and provides scope for all of us to see more bonuses, increments and all the other works!!!!

News Exclusivity...... Politicians.... What a Joke!!!!
What a Joke!!!!!
You are reading about the largest terror attack on a sovereign nation, the description of a gory bloodbath and the death of 200 odd people exclusively on this blog!!! Don't I sound like an egomaniac along the lines of Barkha Dutt, Arnab Goswami, Rajdeep Sardesai et al.... And please note, I am naming these 3 people for a very strong reason..... that being that these are the only people from whom you would expect some integrity among the sludge of the Aaj Taks and the India Tv's, the filth of Indian media....
My faith in the 3 people above and therefore in the whole of the supposedly unbiased English media stands shaken to its foundation today.....
'We are showing you exclusive footage of the NSG Commandos getting off on the roof of the Nariman House....' This must have been an image and a comment that all of you remember from 26th November... Well, ya I forgot, the terrorists had come from the dark ages to kill and maim us...... so probably they did not know the advent of a freaking Television set.... Duh!!!!! Let security go for a toss as long as I am getting my TRP's.... Wow, what an attitude!!!
Remember, Barkha Dutt who etched a strong memory of the Kargil war in 1996 in all of us Indians as a brave woman on the army front?? Well, did the same Barkha Dutt undergo so much of a change to reach the annals of patheticity (new word coined to display frustration) in television reporting in 12 years.....??
Rajdeep Sardesai, one of the most neutral anchors in the Indian media thus far??? Stooped to such levels today!!?? Appalling but true!!
I think all media channel reps must first be assembled, their face blackened and then they should be paraded on donkeys through cities and towns!!!! It will probably be the largest congregation of donkeys ever assembled this side of the border.......
And we say that politicians need to be done way with for this country to be a safe place!!
What a Joke!!!!

The Dark Ages!!!!!
What a joke!!!!
Ever wondered how the dark ages were or ever felt like spending time in the dark ages........ ??? Come to Pune, the Oxford of the East, the Detroit of the East, and the best city in the world as all Puneites will tell you.....
We all staying in Pune today are pretty much living the dark ages yet again in the new times!!! 8 - 12 hours of powercuts every single day!! How do you like that?? Its like a slap on the face of all us professionals who have come from near and far...... Everyday, the surety of a loss of power for more than 7 hrs is comparable to the rising of the sun!!! The latter may not happen someday but the former will surely happen!!!
And what is the only word of the solace that the nincompoops that we call the government has?? That Pune will have adequate power by 2012 as plans are on to work towards that date!! Man, am I happy or what!!! 2008 - 2012 seems to be a small amount of time for someone, but in this day and age, staying without power for even an hour seems like a year... So do the arithmetic yourself.... We are probably going to surpass the dark ages!!!
So guys and gals in Pune........ be happy as this situation is only temporary..... Improvement is coming soon in 2012!!!
What a joke!!!!
