Inglish As She Is Spaken

5 July 2010 | Language |

You’ve got to love Inglish. Only we always “court arrest” (instead of fair damsels). Rains always “lash the city” (hear it now: whip! whip! whip!). And our netas are always air-dashing to Delhi to meet the High Command before a charge-sheeter with back-combed hair and a wheatish complexion (as opposed to Basmatish?) jumps into the “dicky” and becomes an absconder.
