I've bern forced to live in the Midwest for the last year. We had eight inches of snow yesterday.

Can't wait to leave this flat icebox for the warm tropical weather of Pennsylvania or New England.

Just to add further to my above post about it, I forgot to add that "nanaan" too is a Punjabi term. The Urdu word is "nanand", which is hard to describe about its correct pronunciation. Try "na-nannd".

Here's a test for you. What are these relations:

Samdhi/samdhan. Lakkar Daada.

Lakkar Daada means The father of someone's great-grandparent


Lakkar Daada = Great-great-grandfather

Right. So it goes something like this: baap, daada, par daada, akkar daada, lakkar daada. Father, grandfather, great grandfather, great great grandfather, great great great grandfather.

So the answer is great great great grandfather.

For all we know, he was a real jerk and was great great great in name only.

The requirement was that there should be "great-great-great", but you only wrote "great-great".

I will be honest, I knew about the latter term, but had no idea which of the great grand-fathers it is - that is, which generation.

"Samdhi" - one´s child´s father-in-law.

"samdhan" one´s child´s mother-in-law.

Lastly, I have a feeling that both these are Hindi words originating from the Sanskrit word "sambandh", meaning "relation".

I believe there is an akkar daada in the sequence somewhere. I heard it from my Ahl-e-Zubaan (native Urdu speaker) friends. Being descended from illiterate Punjabi zameendaars myself, I would've said baap, daada, par daada, par par daada, par par par daada and so on.

But that repetitive par par par just sounds stupid. Like a sputtering engine. Or worse.

Correct on the samdhi part. The etymology is probably right too.

It is a dismal Saturday here too. "April is the cruelest month," as Ezra Pound famously wrote.

DHONI183 corrected it before I say anything that nanaan is a Punjabi word,in Urdu it's Nandh and is pronounced as nan-dh,simply..

Lakkar dada is sheerly new for me :P,I have heard par-dada..
 
Have any of you seen Danielle Wyatt's tweet? Do you think she was serious?

Kohli's mom seems to think so.
 
^i dont know the details but i heard she proposed to him or something..
what does Anushka has to say about it:P

Yeah, she tweeted "Kholi marry me?", it's embedded in the Tweets by Cricketers thread. I don't know what A Sharma made of it, but VK's momma was like he's too young and all.

That made me really laugh out loud.

Its just a spur of the moment reaction. The older generation don't get it.

My female cousin helped me with something once and in gratitude, I told her that I'm gonna marry you. She was okay with it because she understood the context which was that I was simply thanking her and was very happy (not that she wouldn't have been okay anyway :butt) but my Mum made an issue of it and scolded me. :adnan

Kohli and Anushka know what's going on but obviously his Mum does not.

Yeah i checked it out there as well..my friend told me about it too!
LOL,his mother..aunty to serious hogai!:))
 
I understand what she meant but it was still unusual reading it. My parents will hopefully understand if I'm in a sitch like Kohli and Danielle, or Mamoon and his cousin. :P
 
Things are sooo boring these days.

Nothing can keep me occupied for more than a few minutes these days-not even the Internet.

98:O?! Are you sure? That I think converts into one night passing after two days, or something. Or did you mean 198:13:?
 
LOL, 198.

the night of 29th September and 12th April 2014 inclusive. I happen to confuse number of nights and days at times and had a hard time in my childhood grasping the am and pm concept. :ibutt

Ah´ okay. So, given that I asked this question before the night passed in Germany, should one more be added to make it 199 now?

I have always been an expert at this AM and PM thing:hafeez.
 
Yes. I use the 24 hour clock system, I think the AM PM thing is stupid.

I hate it when u r typing on an iPhone and keyboard's space bar or some other key partially covers the submit button. So during a sentence if you miss hit that key by a micro milimeter, the submit button on the screen is pressed. And you retarded sentence is posted.

Agreed. This and the different time zones confuse the hell out of me :))

I think day light saving thing is even more stupid.
Why don't they change the clock for half an hour FOR ONCE and then NEVER EVER change it again. It will perfectly even out.
 
It would be fun if the popular PPers have their own smileys.

Bullet Drive and W63L35 would be the biggest hits for obvious reasons. :yk2
 
Why don't I wake up on my alarms and keep snoozing it,I am really fed up with this habit of mine..Even for many days I've not offered my Fajar prayer on time.Very bad:(

I put my alarm clock across the room so id have to get up for it. I either turn it off and go back to bed or dont wake up at all!
 
I also would not have but I awe why it's happening these days.I think I need to change my alarm tone,it might come handy.
 
I am logging off PakPassion,at least for a week or more for the sake of my exams:P,finally it is going to happen and I hope I stick to my words..I am awing how I will spend these days but exams hold their importance,you know.
So long guys!:) and don't forget to remember me in your prayers:)

I'm losing my touch. Couldn't clear a phone interview. Generally I can sweet-talk or bluff my way through that, and get an on-site. It's only then that they get to see how little I know.

Not this time though. My dreams of returning to the Northeast lie in tatters. Time to brace myself for some more of the flat Midwest. :(

I would recommend you to put your alarm/phone in a drinking glass/cup. The volume will reverberate. It would improve the volume significantly.

You aren't alone.

I have a spelling test tomorrow which will have words from anywhere in the dictionary! I am still here.:azhar

However, I have a routine for the whole day. I have a specific time during which I have to study, regardless of anything.

Also, good luck for your exams.

^ "Dictation." That's what it was called.

We had an absent-minded old teacher, Mr. Gill. A dapper old-school gentleman, impeccably dressed, just absent-minded.

He would, during the dictation, say a word that we had to write. Lets say "Education." We would pretend we couldn't understand what he had just said. He would pronounce it slowly. "Eddddjuuucayyyshunnnn." Then someone would ask for the spelling, and Mr. Gill, being his absent-minded self, would spell it out. All of us passed with flying colors.

An enduring memory is Nawaz Sharif appearing on TV in 1993 during his tussle with GIK, saying he didn't take dictation.

Ever since, I've pictured Nawaz, dunce's cap on head, dressed in shirt, tie and shorts, pencil in hand, refusing to write anything, as GIK, the stern old English master, wielding a ruler, menacingly patting his palm with it, threatening to pounce.
