One of 'Most indian thing ever'
" She is my real sister.” This won't make sense to a westerner. Because for them a sister is real sister only. All others can't be sisters. Cousin at most. In Bharat, we have chacheri, mameri & fuferi sisters and then the real sisters. English is such a poor language , they don't have words for all my other lovely sisters . For all my lovely chachi, taai, bua, maami & maasi they don't have words.. everyone is an ‘aunt' & this word is feelingless…and dry. You are sitting with eyes closed , they say u r meditating. But you can do so many things with eyes closed : japa, thapa, shoonya, Dhyana, dharana, samadhi or may be u r trying sleep with spine erect. People have spent their life beautifully with eyes closed , just chanting “ ram -ram” within. English..Ufff. I feel, we must bring these words in English dictionary before my children come on this planet.
