" 'Od fata 'od!" :P:P

'Od fata 'od!
 :D:P:P

well, this is my Diwali phrase of the day! :D n quite an interesting one, that too!
so, before i get down to the 'explanation' part of it, a brief 'intro' sorta thingy is definitely mangta hai. :) n not to mention, the source of it, as always (for stuffs that can be certified "controversial")---POPS!!!! :D *luv*

and so, circa 1230 hrs, diwali afternoon, with sun beating down..aah! so much glad for the AC innova.. :p moi n pops (yeah!!!! the best ever team :):D) were assigned a duty..n so, we're off (thankful for the AC innova :P)--*tantanaaaaa* STAR Bazaar *Tantaaannaaaa* the usual chores done, bill paid n then the exit.. n then it hit!!!!
"ki 'od! ki 'od!"---i explained!! a bit irritatingly!

[note: "'od" as such, is no proper word..in fact, it is not even a really colloquial term, per se, either.. but, its been in use, mostly (n probably) by me (only n exclusively) :P *voila* but nevertheless, lemme spill it.. it means--in bong (of course) "rod".. or in hindi "dhup" n in english "sun" :P]

i said again, n this time with my eyes squinting..pops looked at me.. n then at the blistering 'od outside.. n said--"'od fata 'od"..period.

[note-2: now that i've explained 'od, lemme explain "fata".. its a real simple term.. meaning "crack".. n of course, again, in bong!]

so, the translation is still in a real murky state for me.. :( "'od fata 'od" = "dhup cracking dhup" ??? ? ?

nah.. something was terribly amiss..i ask pops--"maane?" pops replied "ask mamma.. she'll tell".. well, so, nothing more to be done.. i had to ask mamma..so, first thing i do, after entering the house-- "mamma, 'od fata 'od maane ki?" n wat followed was a hysterical laugh.. "strange", thought moi! i asked again.. you see, i was persisitent.. mamma tried to shy off n pass it on to pops.. n pops followed suit.. n this went on (the passing the pass game)..but i WAS insistent.. n ultimately, after a lot of effort in stiffling the crazy laughs, pops came up with the explanation.. n in precise terms that i would understand without any difficulty..

"'od fata 'od" = "ass cracking dhoop"!!!

aaha!!!!
i feel "enlightened"! :)

indeed a HAPPY DIWALI! :D
