Bhaigiri 101 - Apun ka alphabet

So I was on the phone with my sister getting the latest updates on baby Aish.

"You know, she repeats everything she hears?" my sister said.

"Huh? Really?? Like everything??"

"Yeah! Do you wanna teach her something?" She asked.

"YEAH-A!!! Pass her the phone!!"

My sister passed the phone to Aish.

"Hiiii!" I said.

"Haiayayaya!!!!" Aish screeched.

"Aishu, say 'Apple!'? Apple? Apple?" I said, sounding extremely silly.

"Apple." She said.

"HOLY COW!" I said (to myself, of course. Wouldn't want Aish to freak her mother out by suddenly saying 'HOLY COW!').

And that's when I felt the resounding thud on my head. It was my alter ago Sash Bhai, who had administered a dose of the rolled-up-newspaper weapon-of-ass-destruction on my head. (For those who don't know, I have about ten alter egos.)

"Shyani... Yeh tu kya kar reli hai??" Bhai said.

"Arre Bhai aap... bahut dinon se dikhai nahin diye... Woh kya hai na Bhai... apni Aishu bolna seekh rahi hai na... bole toh..." I said nervously.

"Pata hai pata hai... mast repeat kar reli hai... lekin tu bachi ko bigaad kaiku reli hai? Kya bakwaas sikha reli hai usko??"

"Bakwaas? Bakwaas nahin Bhai... Woh Bhai... kya hai na... Apple... woh 'A for apple' seekhegi na school mein... toh... bas apun socha thoda paileich preparation..."

"Abbe dhakkan! 'A for apple' toh usko uske shyaane Amreeki teacher log sikha hi denge. Tu usko kya naya sikha rahi hai?" Bhai demanded furiously, tapping her fingers on the armrest a la Mogambo.

*gulp*

"Bhai, aapki baat mein dum toh hai. Toh thoda advice de dijiye... kya sikhaya jaaye?"

"Kuchh sikhana hi hai... toh usko mere sanskaar sikha... baaki toh woh apne aap seekh hi jayegi... abhi usko kuchh alag... kuchh solid sikha." Bhai said with a proud smile.

"Haan bhai... samajh gaya apun... bilkul."

So I came up with a new alphabet - only for my tiny tapori - containing all the keywords she needs to pass Bhaigiri 101.

A for Apun
B for Bhai
C for Chikna
D for Dhakkan
E for Englis
F for Fultu
G for Ghanta
H for Hafta
I for Ishtyle
J for Jail
K for Kharcha-pani
L for Locha
M for Mamu
N for No tension
O for Oopar tak (pahunch hai apun ki)
P for Pulis
Q for Q re shyaane?
R for Rampuri
S for Supari
T for Tapori
U for Uthwa lo
V for VIP log
W for Wasooli
X for X-pert
Y for Yeda
Z for Zabardast

I got that one as a forwarded email. Not the post, the alphabet. I was rolling on the floor, and you better pay for the injuries I sustained from rolling over a sleeping cat. He did not like being rolled over, I tell you.

Sayesha said...

ps: Apologies to the cat. :P

Bole to Jidhar tum, Woich apun ka SWARAG..

Unknown said...

Ramgopal Varma, agar tu apun se pooche tho, thu bhaigiri mein teekh hai yaar. Ab bahut flop nikaal diya, chal apne tapori chaal par aaja, warna langda ho jaayega. Sach bolta ki nahin
