A1 chikki wala is a very famous chikki center at Lonawala. As we all know Lonawala is a hill station famous for Chikki and hence we always get it from there. Though we get some famous chikki brands now in mumbai as well but Lonawala is specially a place where people can get chikki’s for gifting too.

I saw some hits for “cooling glasses for mens.” Is that “mens” IA or just a typo?

Just came across this in a completely different context. The IA element is kind of light but I want to read more from this guy: https://www.thehindu.com/books/know-your-english/know-your-english-meaning-of-pancake-people/article2750006.ece

Ha, no, didn’t notice that one. Was referring to the incorrect spelling of someone’s name that had been spelled correctly in the previous sentence.

Don’t know if this has been noted already itt but I’ve often been taken aback & charmed by the IE use of the verb “club” where in SE we would say “group”, e.g. “I will club these things together.”
