That joke appeals to my philosophical and dorky senses and makes me smile every time. :)
I'm leaving for Goa on Thursday afternoon and coming back Monday then leaving for Tiruvannamalai( a small pilgrimage town in the state of Tamil Nadu) on that Thursday and returning Monday. A family friend has graciously offered to show me and some traveling companions around the ashram and local sights. I'm excited for traveling! I will try and update on Goa when I get back. Maybe we will have internet then?!!
And now here is a short list of
Words I won’t forget in Hindi:
Dayalu( kind hearted)- I think of Dayenu the Passover song
Kalam (pen)- sounds kinda like Gollum the way its pronounced
Dhobi( laundry man) – Like Dobby from Harry Potter
Gulab (rose)- For those of you who know Fun with Eggs I think of ‘Gay in the Gulag’.
Kendra (centre)- because it’s a name I won’t forget
Kamzor (weak)- it’s the dinosaur that died out before the rest of them because it’s weak and that’s why you’ve never heard of it.
Lekhak /lekhika (writer)- close to my last name
