The Maglish speaker strikes again!!!
Yesterday a friend and I decided to do a bit of shopping (both actual and window). After shopping for a while we decided to get some lunch, accordingly we arrived at Oasis, Andheri. I love the ambience here and food is also awesome (My personal favourite is the Chicken Angara, guaranteed to set your innards on fire).
It was past three and only three other tables were occupied with the occupants just whiling time over coffee.
One group vacated the table and the doorman held the door open for them. Here I would like to mention that it was raining pretty hard when we arrived at the restaurant. The Oasis lives up to its name and the people who are on the inside do not have any inkling of what happens on the outside. The group stepped out and one of them wails " Oh No!!!, its Paausing again!!!!"
Needless to say my friend and I burst out laughing!!!
I guess a bit of explanation is required for my non Marathi speaking audience. Manglish is when you introduce Marathi words into English. Rain is called "Paaus" in Marathi, hence my protagonists remark :))
LOL.
ReplyDeleteIt is actually quite funny when you explain the joke. Generally, it never is....
ah!! and i got confused :) wen we mix malayalam with english, we get something called manglish :)
