Another whimsical attempt to dawdle on the pointless by yours faithfully.
This time we will together explore use of the word BUS. Also called bottom of the barrel fishing.
As in its phonetic presentation in English and couple of Indian languages.
Therefore the readers with non multi language skillset should quit here.
So on to the Bus. As in boarding the conveyance. You guessed right. I thought of this insanity while traveling on such a device. A Marathi local bus rider offering a seat to me would say 'ye bus'. Whence a Hindi bhai would say 'baas kya?'
Whence I would suspect that the episode is about to become a busketcase with all of the bus ye bus wo bakwas. So to bypass the oncoming insanity I would suggest to my fellow ridership - bas rehne do yaro kuch aur baatein karo.
So we move on to less basi items. When my Hindi friend pipes up - bas ek baat bataa - ye baas tujhe bhi aa rahi hai?
As I contemplate this sudden turn of events I spot an old Bong acquaintance heading our way who says 'Boss, tum ye boss pe ata hai?'
Not knowing if the baas or the Boss comment deserved an answer I decide to play safe and go 'ees baas ke baad to mein ye bus pe nahin aaoonga'.
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
Aur nahi bus aur nahi, gham ke pyale aur nahi..
