Lingo jingo... Blogging Marathon 2014 Post 16

Did not think I would resort to a forward for my blog post today. But I maintain, all is fair in a Blogging Marathon:) So here is some typical Mumbaiya Hindi. Yes, of course, it is Hindi, kya re?

1. There's a minor problem- Arre yaar, "Waanda" ho gaya
2. There's a big problem - Arre yaar, "Jhol" ho gaya
3. There's a huge problem..(unsolvable)- Arre yaar,"Raada" ho  Gaya
4. You'll be surprised .- Ekdam "Hill " jayega tu
5. I am going out of this place - Chal apun "Kaltii" marta hai.
6. Don't make a fool of others - Dekh , tu "Shendi" mat laga sabko
7. Just get out of here, you oversmart fool!! - Chal e shane, "Hawa"aan de
8. I am not a stupid out here - Apun kya "ALIBAUG" se nahi aaya
9. There's some misunderstanding - Arre kuch "Galat Faimili" ho gayi
10. Do u drink daily? - Tu kya roz "FULL TO" hota hai?
11. See, You are afraid.. - Dekh , teri to "FAT" gayi
12. Shall I bash u? - Ee Du kya "Kharcha Pani" ?
13. Just take him into a secret place -Usey jara "Khopche" me leke ja
14. What a beautiful lady !! - Kya "Zakaas Item" hai yaar!!
15. Don't just bluff. - Ee Jyaada "RAAG" mat de.
16. Don't take much tension.. - Jyaada "LOAD" nahi leneka kya??
17. Your clothes are very awkward!! - Kya "ZAGMAG /DHINKCHAAK" pehna tune?
18. I don't care about it much..!! - Abe yaar , "Hata Saawan Ki Ghata"
19. Please don't bore me... - Jyaada "PAKAA" mat be tu
20. All this must be done without anyone's notice - Sab kaam "SUUMDI" me hona chahiye...kya? 
21- Unnecessarily interfering - Oongli karne mein  bahoot mazaa aata hai kya ?

 Jhakas is not here as is maandvali.  I used to look forward to the welcome relief of normal Hindi spoken in the North, during the holidays.

And since this post is not going to be anything original, sharing another link here, about growing up in India.

Yours un-originally!

The slow thawing

I realise I am inconsistent in lots of stuff and instead of my usual defensive spiel,  here is a quiet acceptance of that. Guilty of that and many more things....but not being disciplined tops the list. It shows how I take care of myself, how I keep order at home, how I generally mange myself and my world. How easy it is for me to not keep up to anything consistently....Its embarassing, its seen in the constant self-talk I have with myself. It shows up in stuff pending over the week and taking over weekend, it shows in the amount of dirt that came out of cleaning under the dish-washer, just one of those things which I had been forever planning to do; it shows in how I finally managed to paint my toe-nails after one year - sometimes there was no nailpolish remover; or nail polish itself; other times it was something I remembered just before bedtime or just when stepping out, hence no time to dry itself; sometimes I did remember but pushed it away for a bit and then forgot because so...

May 2013 - The Elusive One

Image
Think back to a month in your life. Do you remember any month or period specifically from the sweeping past or present? Maybe the month before the board exams, last month in the hostel eagerly awaiting to get back home, the month before you were getting hitched that was crammed with frantic shopping and plans on the side to run-away solo or when you were expecting your first baby, waiting for the moment and savoring the peace as you balance one of the last books you will read in peace on your tummy.. I seem to have always had conflicting emotions in every situation, constant yin-yang and the entire range in between. As a part of this group  celebrating our first anniversary on June 2, 2013, we were given a small challenge. Totally voluntary, I must add. The theme being 'The Elusive One'. One could choose to do something new, make a small change in your lifestyle, person..something you've been putting off for too long. You get the drift, move out of your comfort zones and ...

New Year Resolutions - Blogathon 2014 Post 1

Hello all! This is the first in the series of posts for the month of January, Blogathon initiative by Dreamy Mommy here . Today's prompt is New Year Resolutions. In fact, in my hastily scribbled end-of-year post I did touch briefly on this. In the last few years, I like to make resolutions or declarations, whichever, in writing. This is because in the course of steering one'e life through uncharted waters and all that, it is easy to land up someplace you simply did not intend going. My main compass-points for this year are - 1. Take one day at a time - each day is important, value it. 2. Move it, move it - So get moving in some way - a walk, a jog, yoga, dance... 3. Reflect before you speak and/or write. 4. Take responsibility for yourself and what you want to do, easy just does not do it. 5. Be thankful, be grateful, be positive and open-minded. Appreciate differences. 6. Put everything down and listen to my kids when they are talking - even if they are repeating ...
