Things Prahbu has said, that I wish everyone could hear.

" Comedy..." : Funny. So if someone does something hilarious, prahbu laughs, and then follows it with the word "comedy!

" Throw me" : When someone dumps you. He was telling me about how one of his girlfriends dumped him, but he said, " then she throw me".

The other day we were packed into the car going to have dinner, and there were a couple conversations going on in the car. Judith and Russ were talking, and David was on the phone talking with a student, and Hannah was talking to herself. Prahbu and I were quietly sitting up front, but I was listening into one of the conversations in the back silently. I asked prahbu which conversation he was listening to. He told me, he was listening to the road.

how great is that? and so accurate for India. The road speaks to you in a way here. The people learned to listen, not look. So Horns are very very important, as well as yelling through your glass window at other drivers. If somethings happens when prahbu is driving, the other driver and him talk to each from the windsheld. We always tell prahbu that the other driver can't hear him, but it doesn't really stop either of them. ha

Time Pass or Love? The other day when I was driving with prahbu, we saw a girl in front of us starring at him, and he was looking back at her. I told him he can't do that cause he is married. followed by laughter. He then told me, "its just fun, you know, Time pass, not love". I was like what???? He then explained to me that guys in India have girls they call them time pass, not love. It means it helps the time pass but you don't actually love them. hahaha. In that moment I realized I was a "Time Pass" for this guy at the fruit shop. lol. every time I go get fruit, this guy doesn't know english, but he comes over to me, smiles, and waves. Then usually as I get in the car he waits and waves. I always ask prahbu what he is thinking. In this moment I realized, I am helping him pass the time. hahahaha

Last story.

In the evening right before prahbu goes home, he asks what time he should come in the morning. We never really know, it changes, so then Judith told him that she would call him in the morning. Then he followed her reply with " before means you call..."

we didn't think anything of it, and said alright, and closed the door. Then Judith laughed and repeated what he said, with a bobble of the head to finish it off. " before means you call...( head bobble...) We forget that we now understand another language...broken english. love it.

Its awesome living here. Something funny happen so much of the time. there is a bit of broken english for ye.
