bonked and bamboozeled in mother india

i have started too late to collect
expressions that are found often in
india on signs and in conversations..
from this time onward...
i will be making note, madam!

whenever talking to a government official,
it is highly recommended to call the
above mentioned as sir..
you just might get somewhere
with your request!

you do just one thing..
this is often stated
when asking for some assistance..
first..
you do just one thing..

if you are asking for directions
or the proximity of such and such a place,
the most frequent answer is:
just there..
which could be anywhere
from here to timbuktu..

reading the newspapers..
which are great in number,
you will find the most interesting
stories noted in the most
entertaining way..
instead of being hit on the head,
by a tree, no less!
bonked...

"one can never have too much of cricket"

....to be continued....sir!
