Haapanavar

I call the Bajaj service station.

Me: Hello, when can I come get my bike?
Supervisor: Sir, you come in haapanavar.
Me: Hello. What?
Supervisor: Haapanavar sir, come in haapanavar.
Me: Oh. Okay I’ll come in half an hour.

    We bought an electric stove and the entire bill was in Hindi. The only things we could understand were the numerals 3000 (the cost).

    This happened to me. The speed post tracking page wasn’t working and I wanted to know if my college application had gotten to its location. I called and after some trouble got this reply when I asked where it had reached: “Pore sevun”.

    Four seven. I had my pen out and had noted those two numbers because I thought he was giving me a phone number. But then he hung up. Want to guess what it meant?

    pore sevun???
    if u cud modify the words a bit and turn it into pure tamizh, it ll sound like
    “pore seivom”
    he s calling u for a battle, maybe after tat only u can get him to talk



  6. Marc says:

    Alayan, that makes absolutely no sense.

    George, maybe he meant ‘Before seven’ as in ‘Call before seven’? I have no idea.



  7. George says:

    I love it! Your responses are brilliant. The truth: Four, Seven. The package had reached intended destination on the 4th of July. I found this out when the tracking page came back.
