patiala...the city of maharaja..the birthpalce of patiala peg and patiala salwars
and also the inspiration behind patialalogues....
the junta of patiala wears on its sleeve its sense of pride for three of the four above...and another being State Bank of Patiala..Bank of India and Bank of Baroda are same for a lot many. Aunties and uncles love to get girls and boys get married as soon as dey reach the legal age. A nagging doubt : that they start dreaming and preparing about the impending wedding as soon as the kid reaches puberty...hmmmm.
everything closes at 9 pm or maybe 10 pm..but don't even dream of getting something to eat if u re hungry at midnight..drink some water and sleep.
patiala has really fascinating names for their residential colonies and market places - sheranwala gate, jattan , jooran, leela bhawan,...some royal and some embarrassing...
people are great most of the times...specially the older generation....the only trouble being they love to get u married...if u do some work for someone old, u can expect an invitation for lunch at their house or an offer of fresh vegetables from their farm and even better - makki ki roti and sarson ka saag in a dabba....with a dash of elderly love..and all we can say is wowwwww.
now the younger generation....guys think dat they can hit on any gal they lay their eyes on...if you talk to them in english with them, a phenomenon is obeserved without fail - suddenly their accent changes and dey start speaking ameriacan english!!!!!!!!!!. there is another set - rajma chawal...now these are guys who have gud looks most of the time ummm...sometimes not...but their girlfriends are absolutely awsum...pataka dey call em...now rajma chawal will go to CCD, order a kaaappuuuchino in american accent and den go to any college canteen and yell "ik rajma chowul dayiiin oyye " (its not a spelling mistake...d pronunciation of rajama chawal is a bit like owl) .
