Laloo, the whole world is friendly.Although you can communicate with millions of illeterate in Hindi,rest of the world outside India seldom knows Hindi.So I think we should ask our eldest son in law who is a software engineer working at Bangalore to start LalooRabdi Ranch.We can also ask his firm to make Hindi keyboard although Devnagri fonts exist.
So see you in Patna again

[Mapraputa Is]

Laloo, I moved R***** thread to MO.
People, how about a moratorium on clarifications who is R**** who is A**** who is I**** or whatever? As an experiment

According to you the person who knows hindi and does not know english is illeterate.
Then the people who only knows french or chinese or russian or any other language and does not know english are also illeterate.

Sorry guys, For those who are not familiar with us, Laloo and Rabdi is one of the most sexiest couple on the earth.
Here are the pics:
Just see how sexy Laloo(in white dress)/Rabdi looks.

Did I hear some one saying that Pakistan is in India? And Bangladesh?
This Link says "More than 180 million people in India regard Hindi as their mother tongue. Another 300 million use it as second language. Outside of India, Hindi speakers are

100,000 in USA;

685,170 in Mauritius;

890,292 in South Africa;

232,760 in Yemen;

147,000 in Uganda;

5,000 in Singapore;

8 million in Nepal;

20,000 in New Zealand;

30,000 in Germany.

Urdu, the official language of Pakistan, spoken by about 41 million in Pakistan and other

countries, is essentially the same language.

Rabdi, Laloo made a mistake selecting you as his partner

Your sum according to 'that link' constitutes not more than 11 million .Also considering Urdu as a subset of Hindi does not seem to have any basis.

It has a basis. To understand that, you need to have some thing called 'commonsense' - No you can't buy it on Internet or elsewhere.

I re-read your statement, but still means that being able to speak Hindi makes you eligible to speak millions of illiterates, and that?s all. So, that implies that all who knows Hindi or uses Hindi are illiterates! Well, I didn't know we have more than 2 billion Hindi speaking illiterates in the world.
[QB]Laloo and Rabdi is the best couple on the earth
I agree!

[Paavam Payyan]

Aaii.. Laloo, we all know that you have insatiable hunger towards public funds and public properties etc, and now you are talking about our public fancy, Shakeela Chechi?
How dare you?

Your statement is correct but conclusion is wrong.I go to a temple, I am a devotee, Does that mean everybody that goes to a temple is devotee?

[R K Singh]

Hi Laloo
seeing you after long time..
But good point raised..
AW who is this Rabdi Debi to interfere and give statements abt people who speaks Hindi
AW as she is your wife I am not saying other things ..
but nice to see two famous personalities together on ranch
Keep it up ..
Language is just matter of communication and love has no loanguage .. so we must go for love ... where communication is much easier and you dont have to look for correct words and grammer

Aah, well, now you are arguing like Laloo

[Anonymous]

Just an FYI....There are 1600+ language dialects in India. And here is a list of more than 1000 mother tongues (languages) spoken in India...not sure why only HINDI receives so much attention...i have no complaints though
Mother Tongues in India

I think there is alot of scope related to language software, I am not a expert on the subject , but natural language processing software can play important role in India.and we can do that here in India, no need of immigrant visas,H1/H4 etc
Can anybody has a suggestion ?
similar to what CDAC(www.cdac.org) developed(I think SHREE or something), any suggestions?
Ingeneral to what extent domestic Indian software market could be developed? I don't see much players other than some initiatives taken by Infosys/state Govts.

Ask Your Husband to take some initiative
after all he is laloo's son in law

Jamal Gote, Software is not such a simple which could be done by few erratic geniuses , but it requires systematic efforts by many people like you I am requesting the people like you to stretch the imagination to give your views about how Indian market can be benifitted using Indian software.

Absolutely right I agree with you, but it also need some finance, which poor software professionals like me dont have so please ask people like your father to give us some finance (after all he is chara king) so we can commence some good projects

[Anonymous]

I agree that making a software requires a lot of money ,but I am asking your view about how software professionals in India can help deomestic market grow.Ideas/views/suggestions don't require money
Making the software is the next step,but whats the problem in stretching the heads for the cause of our people?What do you say?

AW how is your nursing home now, Misa
Misa ... In India domestic market after 10 yr will be great but right now I dont think it has a good market.
Reason one , computer comes under luxry item.
Reason two, users are very less(I read some where .2 OR 2%), agree that they are increasing.
Reason three, we need some good laws for piracy.
But if someone wants to be pioneer in the Indian market then he should be able to survive for atleast 5 yr without profit or say with loss. Then I am sure India is a potential market for s/w
If you are planing for some open source project then ...All the best .. I might try to contribute ..

Translation please or we may have to remove this ... do I have to remind everyone of the "English Only" rule?

[Cindy Glass]

Here's my version of a translation:
The laughter of Hindustani is alot,
Causing many ongoing amusing "chewing overs"
Directing legions towards amusing sounds
The soul of the many for my amusement
Eenie Meenie Miney Mo
Of course it is more difficult to translate since I don't speak Hindi. :roll:
[ July 26, 2002: Message edited by: Cindy Glass ]

Hum Hindustani ho
- We are indians..
Chutney main to chili ho
- There's Chilli in Chutney (Chutney is like curry, a populer indian dish/type)
Ocean main to tuna ho
- There are Tuna (fish) in the Ocean
Dil main to Maria ho
- There is Maria (a beautiful girl) at heart
Eenie Meenie Miney Mo
- Eenie Meenie Miney Mo
Pretty close, Cindy!

<pre>
Self : Honey! If said said "Eeenie Miney Miney Mo" what language would I be speaking.
Jenny : It depends.
Self : It depends on what ?
Jenny : It depends on where you are.
Self : What do you mean "where you are"?
Jenny : Well. If you are in the bathtub you would be singing in your bath.
Self : [suppressing an urge to strangle the little genius] Shall I repeat
the question ?
Jenny : I heard you the first time.
Self : So what language would I be speaking?
Jenny : There is no need to shout.
Self : OK. I am sorry. Now will you please answer the question?
Jenny : What question?
Self : What language am I speaking ?
Jenny : You are speaking English now.
Self : I dont mean now. I mean when I say "Eenie Meenie Miney Mo"
Jenny : Depends on who you are saying it to.
Self : What do you mean by that ?
Jenny : Well. If you are saying it to a Japanese man, you would be speaking Japanese.
Self : I see. What if I were saying it to a Korean?
Jenny : Well then you would be speaking Korean.
Self : I fail to see the logic in this.
Jenny : What does "logic" mean?
Self : [grinds his teeth] That is neither here nor there.
Now will you please answer the question?
Jenny : Stop shouting, will you ?
Self : Ok. I am sorry. What if I said this to a penguin?
Jenny : [giggles] Well, then you would be a silly goose.

Oh no Lalooprasad! You are wrong! I thought that it was English also at first . But then when I went to translate it - I found each and every one of those words has a meaning in Hindi . . . well except for Maria and that Eenie Meenie Minie Mo part .
Of course many of the words had LOTS of meanings in Hindi - so I got to PICK which interpretation I likes best .
Yep - I like my translation MUCH better than yours.
