Words. Help

In office I interact with Americans and Spanish guys.

Its not easy to understand them. No don't get me wrong. They are not being sarcastic. Its not there accent. Its not there pronunciation. But its there watchamacallit. exactly.

All these new words "not in English dictionary' throws me off guard. But since I am fortunate to have lovely colleagues. They help me out. So I thought let me make a list of all of them and I will frequently update it.

1) watchamacallit - What should I call it(chuckle chuckle).
2) Dang - Bang or Bingo.
3) Humor me - no no don't tell them a joke. It might mean. tell me or Show it to me. Well to tell it in a context. I had a problem with lotus notes. Well it was not launching. I called up this tech support guy and he said lets switch on a net meeting and you can humor me huh!!!!.
4)my husband's fav- Are you done with your food? " No, am working on it". No they are not building a pyramid out of their food.
5) My personal favorite- Bajesus. Well Catholics are not to take Jesus's name out without using a prefix. So they call him BA Jesus.
6)Run by me - No no Keep aside those sneakers.. He means..Can you tell it to me.
7)Father-in-law's fav- Do you want some more curd? No am good. If you eat curd you wont become bad? ahmmm y did he say that? Question mark Question mark.
8)Its all BS - Bull Shit hehehe.


Spanish.

1) Asta manyana - See you tomorrow.
2) Dois Dois - nothing to do with our Dosa's.. Means god god.
3) Buenos Dias - Good Morning.
4) Buenos Noches - Good Night.
5) Buenos tardes - Good Afternoon.
6) Oso - Bear.
7) Casa - House.
8) Como Estas? - Mui Bien. How are you? - AM fine.

Rest in next.

Wats up?

I was reading blogs of my friends, family, Amitabh Bachchan, Serena Williams and so on.. it reminded me of my own. As I sit here on my couch, I try remembering what I used to call my blog. A smile and lot of head scratching later "lost-changesinlife". Was so lost there ahah ding ding.. To think that I once thought, will be a big blogger with huge audience, did not think my posts would be so less frequent Or as one friend calls me regularly irregular.

So as the title says "Whats up". Well to be silly would be "the sky is".

And AM NOT!!!! hah.

You want up.. So here it goes. Apart from routine work in a beer company. Ahem!! Burp @@***** I have a latest fetish toward cooking. Thanks Mom-in-law. Its been a week and everyday I cook something new. Yes :)my inertia towards new dishes have gone poof!!. Well nothing of the exotic is made. But different to "Mr Tastebud or should say buds"

Since my now so obliging husband helps me in cleaning, shopping and even cooking (as I blog, he cleans the bathroom)I want to keep him happy. Heard somewhere that "pet kush tho admi kush" or in language most of you understand "To enter a man's heart is through his stomach" "????" yes its a tested theory.

So for guys who are thinking what I cooked. well Aloo parata today, South Indian pulao, North Indian pulao, Gobhi Manchuri, Pudina bath. Surprisingly all of them turned to be real tasty. (well told you was not exotic). Bottom line "Whats up" would be well happy and well fed Husband and Wife.
