You have no idea how good that sounds :)

The only thing I would be worried about is the food.. I really like spicy food but my physiology doesn't and I am sure most of the bacteria will be foreign for me too.. :(

Actually, one of my Indian friends went back home last christmas for marriage and soon fell ill, making me even more worried how I would do :)
 
  • #153
Yes it happens, my cousins live in UK they always got this problem when they eat spicy food, any way there are some international restaurants which are hygenical without loosing taste n without foreign bacteria
 
  • #154
You don't want to eat ethnic food in The Netherlands, it has been adepted to our customs so it has no taste left at all.. I had some really good food in the US though :)
 
  • #155
Yes i would love to if you will be visiting India do meet me and tell me about your culture & food is the food spicy there. Anyway moh main pani a gaya

This is not easy..

First you say.. you have the answer monique
Then.. do you know the sentence (I guess mutlab is sentence?) - I get water in my mouth

am I close? It is hard since there are not Hindi translation services on the net and no vocabulary books in the stores :(
 
  • #159
la jawab here means u are good

U got it right

I wanted to say that u are good in understanding Hindi

Mutlab here is understanding not sentence

Moh main pani a gaya ka - Its just a kind of Idiom meaning You are tempted by the thought of food and u want to have it

Yes, I have seen Hum Dil de Chuke Sanam, that is why I like the song. First the song is played when a husband brings his wife to her first love, but at the last moment she decides to stay loyal to her husband so at that time the song is played for the second time where she leaves her first love and reunites with her husband. It is sung so powerfully, I didn't find out the lyrics until much later, making me like it even more :)

and i know ur Indian friends might be translating for u
Actually they don't because they are thousands of miles away from me now :) But I found out that many of the bollywood lyrics are available in translated versions online so that is where I get the vocabulary :) http://www.bollywhat.com/lyrics/hddcs_lyr.html"

Hum Bewafa Hargiz Na The
Movie: Shalimar (1978)
Music: R.D. Burman
Lyrics: Anand Bakshi
Singer/s: Kishore Kumar, Chorus

I love this old song

Hum bewafa hargiz na the
Par hum wafa kar naa sake
Humko mili uski sazaa
Hum jo khata kar naa sake
Hum bewafa hargiz na the
Par hum wafa kar naa sake

Chorus: jingala la hum, jingala la hum
Jingala la hum hurr hurr, hurr hurr

Kitni akeli thi woh rahen hum jinpe
Ab tak akele chalte rahen
Tujhse bichhad ke bhi o bekhabar
Tere hi gham mein jalte rahen
Tune kiya jo shiwa
Hum woh gila kar naa sake
Hum bewafa hargiz na the
Par hum wafa kar naa sake

Chorus: hurr hurr, hurr hurr, hurr hurr

Tumne jo dekha suna sach tha magar
Itna tha sach yeh kisko pataa
Jaane tumhe maine koi dhokha diya
Jaane tumhe koi dhokha hua
Is pyaar mein sach jhooth kaa
Tum faisla kar naa sake
Hum bewafa hargiz na the
Par hum wafa kar naa sake

Chorus: [ jingala la hum, jingala la hum,
jingala la hum hurr hurr ] ..

Yup, I thought it should have been separated, as a part of Canada, too...
 
  • #175
:smile: In many respects I can relate more with Canadians than Americans. I used to often say that I consider myself an Alaskan before an American. Course I've lived in the lower 48 for the last four years so my feelings on the matter are evolving.
