Donna,
Hey, I’ve been away from the site for awhile. I came back and noticed that you are here again.
I hope you don’t mind that I have now tied with you for the month on the “four a day”. As of today, we are tied at 120 words for the month. I know that you must be busy moving now, so. I hope you won’t mind if I go ahead and pass your…[Read more]

Suresh,
Thanks for the quick response! I appreciate the corrections and am re-submitting my conversation attempt for your approval.
I did get a chance to look at a few of the videos that you shared on Laddoo recipes. Like Donna, I was not aware that there are so many different ways to prepare Laddoo.

Tina: Thanks for the great summary of Dussehra. My husband, who is American, asked me the purpose of the holiday and I must confess I was stumped. I said it had to do with the number 10 and Rama and Sita but that was all I knew. Your explanation was perfect and he is now satisfied! :-)

David,
You’re doing a great job with your vocabulary!
I saw a question that you had asked on the chatroll. At the time, I didn’t have time to respond. Johnnyji did a great job explaining. I thought I might just add something. The Hindi language written in the Devanagri Script is so phonetically correct that once you learn to combine your…[Read more]
