Oddest comments Evah, people
ubu: got the first bit, didn't understand the small stuff i.e. mera sapna sadhu hai translated as my dream is a sadhu, you want to be one is what you're saying? Its the full moon night here in Singapore and I lit some incense shit and said the gayatri mantra - covering my ass, sure, but you never know when enlightenment may hit you like a bolt out of the blue so "be prepared" as the boy scoutmaster said.
me? I'm cleanandsober, this here is singapore, where you are hung by your heels for minor misdemeanours and flogged for petty theft...
tellurian: are you trying to say something in three comments?
astroZ: whatevah ;p

1) see Panels 15 and 16 of your post (inclusive of insets, excluding cover and accompanying panel "Would you agree professor")
2) I think that the ink is great
sayyyyyyyyy Tellurian... NICE link... thanks!
Oh my! Have you not been there before? Are you in for a treat. Some of my all-time favourites (YPOVMD) are: William Dalrymple talking about The Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 - fascinating history. Everything is Miscellaneous - Taxonomy/Folksonomy 101. If you want controversy, listen to Christopher Hithchens shout down other people. I could go on but…
Might I also point you in the direction of Awesome Tapes from Africa, because it's a great post and it fills up the free space on my mp3 player after downloading these podcasts.
Sorry for the derail infini

other than that, i wasn't able to come up with the hindi for "to be", other than the ubiquitous 'hai', but yes, now i've finished my studies & am in service, all i need do is marry, pop out a kid or two, marry them off, and then it'll be all "well, seeya never, i'm putting on the saffron, growing back my dreadies & hitting the road!".

(hm, unfamiliar with baath. one source says "talk"; another "lap, or bosom". talk, lap, bosom and bath. nice)

baath as in "talk" but that's a literal translation. in this context the sentence is an exclamation of suprised approval or "that's sooo coool, dude" ;p

UbuRoivas: Not that you or anyone else is necessarily reading at this point, but perhaps the word you were looking for is "hona"? I'll email you too; just wanted to post it here as well for the benefit of future generations.
