Easy Hindi for the Tourist

Posted in Uncategorized by afr2114 on November 8, 2009

Here are some phrases taken from a handbook purchased in Mumbai that outline dialogue which may be useful when speaking to your servant. Ghori Princess Abby reads directly from “Easy HIndi for the Tourist” which claims to be published in 1996 and updated in 2006, though its phrases carry more of an “1886″ Raj-like air. Easy Hindi for the Tourist details practices (traveling with large guns) which are now illegal in India and includes such golden phrases as ” Is the bullock cart comfortable?” and ” I want to get a Tiger!” — Ally Reeves (Roommate and Producer)
