Whenever the bookseller and I meet on the bus, we greet each other. Most friendly. "Arre bhai, kia kaise hai." "Oh, thik hai, thik hai, bahot kripalu se, aapna?" "Thik, thik, thik ... " "Bhi thik, bhai." "Jal-raha hai ... "
Per a long-standing tradition, it is in Hindustani.
Reflecting mutual appreciation for curry.
I worked in a Desi restaurant.
Several years ago.
Which is why I think that this video is AWESOME!
JUS REIGN EXPRESSES HIMSELF
INDIAN RESTAURANTS ARE SAVAGE

Everything in that clip is true. Everything.
I just licked my own elbow.
Bilkol sacha!
Yaar.
BTW, nearly everybody is named Ahluwalia. I don't know why this is so. Jay Ahluwalia. "Allo namaste I can be kindly speaking to mister Ahluwalia, yaar?" Which Ahluwalia please?" "Mister Jay Ahluwalia!"
"Ahhhhhhh, kaun'sa, bhai-saheb, har' kise Jay hai ... "
Well, actually, they aren't. But they've probably changed their handle to something white people can pronounce.
Like mister Jus Reign, whose real name probably is a tongue twister.
I'm guessing something like "Jay Singh", for instance.
Very mushkil, is it.
YOU! ARE A PIECE OF MEAT!

Stop shaking my hand.

THEIR NATURAL HABITAT
There are more dogs in this neighborhood than children. One very rarely sees people walking their children outside when one is, hypothetical...

Dear Back of the Hill,
I am very interesting in dn̥ǵʰwéh₂stics, so I had an important quæstion regarding.
I understand that there's Ebb and Flow, and there's Kander and Ebb, so I'm assuming that "Kander" and "Flow" are the same. Is that correct? Or does the ordering of the pairs matter, such that we can't assume that item #2 in set 1 is the same as item #1 in set 2?
Thank you very much,
Moïse
A kindly NOTE would be appreciated, but especially more a POST complète.
Bonjour Moïse,
Kander and Ebb were the New York equivalent of Brecht and Weill, whereas Abe & Flo are a custom upholstery company in Dallas.
Hope that helps.
Can you make it into a POST! Postus, posta, postum. WombatS!
