This reminded me of the Radio Mirchi (FM Radio channel - Mirchi in Hindi means Chilli- the guys proclaim that their channel is as Hot as RED CHILLIS!!) where I heard someone say "Yeh meri christmas Teri Christmas too". For non-Hindi speaking people the pun is intended on the word Merry = "Meri" in hindi means Mine and so rhyming with Merry or "Meri" in Hindi is "Teri" meaning yours. SO it is everybody's christmas as far as enjoying is concerned.
This ULTA PULTA Nitin is good. Again for non-hindi speaking people 'Ulta' means Backwards as the name Nitin reads same backwards too. And the word 'ulta Pulta' is associated with mad people....
He interviewed an "EXPERT" On what Delhites should wear this winter. I wonder why they even BOTHER to call these so called experts. This lady, I did not get her name (so that much for her fame!!) said soooo shweetly, "Ohh this is a loveeeelly season.. sooo mannnyyy marriages and festivals are going on... women can wear some nice pullover on some nice skirt, they can even wear some nice long coat, that will go nicely on their bodies. They can also wear some nice trousers and wrap their necks in some nice muffler. [Then she probably rememebered that there are umpteen ladies who do not wear trousers or skirts] You can also wear some nice salwaar kameezs and some nice pullovers, That would be simply niceeeeeeeee"
It was so sick!! The lady did not talk of colours, She did not talk of designs. She did not talk of what body types should wear what. She did not say what occasions befitted what dress this winter since she started by saying there are marriages and new year and christmas and all. She did not talk of stripes, or dots or squares or flairs or different dresses even except for pullover, trousers, skirts and long coat and then threw in a salwaar kameez.. and DESIGNS? Ohhhhhhhhhh THEY SHOULD BE NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Why do Radio Mirchi even bother to call these 'EXPERTS' on their broadcasts!! I wonder.
And I do remember my english teacher telling us never to use the word 'Nice' either as it is poort english. Instead of nice one should rather use other descriptive words. So there is your dress expert with her sense of Hinglish!!
[The Hindi version of English].
Nitin are you listening!!
