Sorry, have recently become interested in Guru Dutt. He is an ace director.

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 started reading Rohinton Mistry's A Fine Balance, which both seems good so far and also contains plenty of quality IE in the dialogue.

I've just learned that in Kerala, your trendy pair of glares are instead called "cooling glasses."

Ha, didn't realize that was Kerala-specific.

A+

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

Extra points given for the basic fact-checking/ continuity/proofreading error in the first paragraph.

I think mens is only not a typo when it's in corpore sano.

Or In Living Color.

Are you referring to the poorly checked fact that dosas are not necessarily flipped

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.

I was asked on Saturday by a friend's mother from Mumbai, "Are you married having kids?"

Did you tell her that you had no issue?

how does Jimmy Durante say “very good” in Hindi?

please do this for me once

lol

all my immediate coworkers have been in the US too long or are younger and raised on Hollywood movies so I seldom get any good hinglish phrases

on the other hand, I have definitely picked up some speech patterns

not quite the same thing, but i spent a certain chunk of my day browsing through a copy of "hobson jobson"

dude really fucking hated avocadoes

i made a customer service call yesterday and every question i asked the guy said "yes, for that one..." even though i was not talking about a "one," like an option among choices. it was cute.

Yeah, that def sounds like IE.

Yes, for that one, a worthy addition to our thread.

I just learned "Do the needful" a month ago and I've been working with Indian tech people on and off for years. I like it

I wish I could use it without coming across as a disrespectful doofus. Its French equivalent, 'faites le nécessaire', is fairly common.

Looking at that seemed to have brought me some ads for a publication called The Juggernaut.

there's a london based indian street food outlet called horn ok please, didn't know its origin or ubiquity.

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.”

my friend from Delhi says “trust me on that” the same way I’d say “take my word for it”

What’s this about Baby being a common nickname or even a name in India?
