Hindi is weird O gultis..

I understand you, I completely understand you now O gultis of this world ! I now understand why you are so confused with this national language of ours - Hindi. And I shall try and never scold a gulti now for his wrong usage of this language.

Had this discussion with Aman, Sari and Taxi, and was completely blown over by the simple problems these poor gultis face (Taxi is a ghati , by the way!). There is no verb usage for a thing in Hindi. While one can make out that ladka aaya and ladki gayi, how does one know that ped kaata and lakdi giri ? For those of us who know the language well, it comes very naturally -- kind of a gut feeling. But for them, how do they decide ? What is the rule ? And I was bowled by their simple question.

And to add to it, we associate gender with words of English too, which are used commonly in Hindi. Therefore, how does a gulti know that bus chali and truck ruka ?!

And best is that ghaas kaati, but baans kaata !! Why ?!

Now at least I do not have an answer to it, except that it seems to be a gut feeling due to my close familiarity with the language for all my life. And I think it's fine if those poor souls do not have that gut feeling, as the rule behind it -- I don't know what it is. So my plea to the world is -- please do not scold a poor cute gulti who's trying to speak some Hindi !

Anyhow, am gonna find some Hindi stud and ask this to him first thing. It is something good, and I'd like to know that !

So gulti's of the world, rest in peace. Your Hindi is cool. :)

Ankur.

Ayesha Zulka..

Ok so I met(saw?) Ayesha Zulka. Big deal.

Back at the passport office yesterday, she was just like any other person. It is Bombay anyways, big deal you saw a movie star. But she is cute. Soo smiley. And pink ! Why do all these stars have to be pink ? She was slightly chubby too. But basic point is -- she is cute ! And that is the only reason I am posting this - to tell people that she's still the same.

Still same as in her role in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander. So my toll of having a look at lead movie stars now is a paltry low-quality -- three. Them being - Urmila, Priti Zhangiani and Ayesha Zulka. That's it. 5 years in Bombay and this is what I am treated to :(

Anyway, this is so insignificant to even post ! :D And the real story is that after a full file-on-the-table time of 2 years, my passport seems to be nearer to my hands. And I am keeping my fingers crossed. Let's see if my motherland wishes me to go travel seven seas away or not.

Abhi going me. Oh and while I am leaving, I'd like to reiterate - Ayesha Zulka is still soo beautiful !

Bye bye,
Ankur.

I am happy..

I am soo happy..

I, a person who always loved books but never found time to devote to them, has finally started to actually _read_ them than just collect and keep in the rack.

I have read some 9-10 books in the last 3 odd months, and by my standards it's HUGE! I shall get membership to some good liby there in Delhi and read lots and lots more. This will be one of the first few things I wish to do there. Please remind me of it.

Just finished 'The Good Earth' (was great) and now have my hands on 'Vernon God Little' (heard it's great too).

Early morning, eating time. Byebye.

Ankur.

I bow to you ;)
