Comments on: “Hinglish” ??? https://rishiknots.com/2008/12/08/hinglish/ Born and raised in 3HO Sikh Dharma Kundalini Yoga Fri, 29 May 2020 19:45:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.4.13 By: Anonymous https://rishiknots.com/2008/12/08/hinglish/comment-page-1/#comment-132 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 04:35:58 +0000 https://rishiknots.com/2008/12/08/hinglish/#comment-132 I always looked at the picture, then pretty much just rearranged the words from the questions to get my ‘answers’. I don’t remember anyone caring if we passed or failed. I figured they didn’t want to send failing marks home to parents – just like they checked our letters home for anything objectionable (the ones not copied entirely off the blackboard). “You don’t want your parents to worry, do you?” Do you think our parents really thought we were coming up with that stuff ourselves? “I trust that God and Guru find you in the best of health and happiness.” This from a 7 year old?!

Anyways, I’m off topic – I think my teacher for this class was not so bad compared to some others. She wore a scarf over one side always, where she had lost an arm. I heard she had it out the window driving on the narrow roads up there and another vehicle came by too close and took it right off…

I forgot about Chumchi but still think of people as conjoosed. As you might know I learned English in India, Spanish being my native language, which I quickly forgot, but relearned 20 years later. When we got there, the Spanish word “Chancleta” helped me learn Chappal (before spoke English). 20 years later the word Chappal helped me relearn Chancleta once I started to learn Spanish again. Relearning Spanish, beginning with the alphabet showed me how impossible it would have been for us to use their teaching methods for anything but what we did!!I thought I was the only one who phonetically wrote out my exam answers in English using the Punjabi/Hindi alphabet. Thanks for
