One of my Colleagues from North discovered the magic word Swalpa. He uses this at the start of all conversations @ the angadi,@chaishop you name it.

Will certainly have him read your post. Waiting for more along the same line..

thanx for it.That was indeed helpful.But i would appreaciate if there is more of it,because there r many things i would like to learn,especially a beginner like me,to be able to ask my maid to do the household activities.ex.cleaning the floor,washing utensils,etc.How do u convey such things?anyway the above was indeed helpful.
