ORANGISSA
LEAMON - "Orangissa Leamon - So for
the peany" . Yes that's how I have been singing this rhyme all along. The
actual words go as " Oranges and Lemons- Sold for a Penny". And that's not all. There are more rhymes that
get wrongly sung. English per se, is a foreign language to India. Many a times- words in English rhymes don't
sync with Indian surroundings. It's not easy to connect with word " Penny"
since we hardly use it in day today context here.

OFFER
LETTER- For all the Office related posts
that have come to this blog - there was an Offer Letter to start with. A letter that
came with an Outline of World Map. A Map to be connected by
Oceans. Then by Seas- going deep into
Rivers - routing through Water channels & finally reaching the Ports. Obviously! What more did you expect in O from a person who speaks of Outbound-Inbound cargoes all the time!

LALA TOPIWALA - My cravings for "Samosa" satiate here. The exterior of the Shop looks like any other " Lala ki
dukaan" that you hear in movies. White
board/ Name in Bold Red Font with a picture of soft drink to go by. But the mouth watering- delectable &
authentic Samosas they serve, leave me craving for more.
Where is this Topiwala eatery located? Want to visit there on my next visit to Chennai.
ReplyDeleteHaha I used to sing it as "Orange juice and lemon"
