"Magnet Mall" Kaha hai?

little moments of personal pride: three saree-clad ladies stopped their taxi in front of me, asking about the new magnet store in the neighboorhood and I was able bolo hindi me (answer in hindi.)

at lunch now I understand a portion of the joking and chatter that goes on in the office, and during the youth dance practices I can pick out word here and there in the blaring hindi pop songs. Best of all, I can connect with people just by saying a few words in marahti, even if its just mala marhati yete...
