India- The land of many mothers

I am amazed at the rate at which many of my friends swear and curse so very flippantly, fully well knowing what the words mean. In an attempt to refrain from using distasteful language on this blog, I shall use "X" in place of Maa( Mom/mother in many Indian languages), and Y in place of behen(sister).

Maa/Behen gaalis are a way of life for many people in India, so much so that when someone gives you such gaalis, there's a good chance that he is a good chum. These gaalis with all their might convey affection in most cases, and not disgust.

Fine, but upto apoint...beyiond which, well...read on

For e.g

....arey, X chu*&^ padi hai,
Fitness ki XY ho padi hai
Arrey, prof ne aaj X C#$^h di be

Seems like people have no dearth of moms. I was taught that all Indians are my brothers and sisters, but these fellas seem to have taken this teaching a step further.

Whatever....
