Although I am not a Patel, we could have a Patel band. :laugh: :laugh:

Gujarati is not harsh if you speak it politely, I'd say .
It's just that most gujjus don't speak Hindi very well, unlike me :D , so they tend to find it more refined/ whatever

Yep I'm starting this fall - I just did my undergrad there too so it feels like I'm just starting school like every year for the past few years.. You should have gone to USC! How is it up there in Stockton?


BTW, my name is so not Indian/guju/etc.. I was named after the 80's UK pop singer Sheena Easton. Crazy hippie parents! :laugh:

Yah but I couldn't say no to a 3-year program. Stockton is stockton :scared: but it's all good because we only school here for 2 years and then our third year are rotations so we can go home or anywhere else and do them there :)

:love: Nice name. I think Sheena Easton was the one who sang the song "for your eyes only" (James Bond movie theme). btw...I'm Jeenal =)
 
thats true - back in HS my mom was googly-eyed for the UOP program too (theyre 6 year pre pharm one). but the thought of it being so far (i live in LA) deterred her from encouraging me to go there..

and yes easton sang that song for the james bond movie! but i like her "Morning Train" song the best..

yah i didnt even know about the program until during undergrad, which i'm actually glad because when you rush through school, you miss out on a lot and then you end up being one of the immature kids in a professional school wondering if you've chosen the right career path. I went to UCI for undergrad, got my BS then came here =)

hmm...I'll have to listen to Morning Train sometime this week. But enough with procrastinating and it's time to finish studying, got a quiz tomorrow :oops:

Ya- your guess is perfectly right. I am 26

But still we start using that sign in the 2nd year of MBBS studies- and I was there in 1997.

And for RxGal

Ya- i'm back home finally- happy to be back with my family and my gal :)
 
ya- i have to agree that Gujju language sounds a little harsher than Hindi but actually it is a polite language.
There are so many dialects in Gujarati that if you put a Kutchhi, a Mehsana patel, A Saurashtra person and a South gujarati (Surti) together, they would not be able to even understand each other.
Also that Gujjus in general speak very bad Hindi- they mess up hindi and gujarati and what finally comes out of mouth is something funnier than both! Actually many have abilities to do the same with English too!

I can escape that Bad Hindi blame myself because I lived 2 years in Lucknow when i was around 12 and I can speak respectably good Lucknowi hindi, and little punjabi too.

The singer of Dil le gayi....... was Jassi

"Biju kem?" means "Why another one?" or it can also mean, "what else?" as we usually ask at around the end of a telephonic chat. I don't remember the context of the movie, but i think the latter one is more frequent use.

"what else?" = "biju su?" or "biju kai?" i think i mix up all the synonyms :p

Your Gujarati is good, but I am sure the KHNH people meant that by that line. I trust them to mis-use Gujarati words and mix up.
 
well, i was real close!hehe!
