DB came by my desk and chat and her phone rang. It was her daughter and I could only hear DB's side of the conversation -
"Hi Chinnu, how are you?"
"Have you finished your homework?"
"Chinnu I don't understand, what does it mean?"
"No ma, what does वाट लग गई mean?"
I just about fell down laughing.
In case you don't know, "vaat lag gayi" means something like "I got screwed" or "I am in trouble". Except it sounds much funnier in this mumbayi slang fashion. And especially when I pictured little AB talking to her Telugu-speaking mom in slang, it was just too much.
