Daily Tid-bits

19th Nov:
- Meghna, the 8 year old, unafraid to make mistakes in her english usage:
---"...Papa...will you drop ur friends 'in a row' (read 'all together')....";
---"..no...I will be 'more than sad' to do this...." to her Papa's "...she will be more than happy to do this.."
- Remembered a 6 year old's "...give me a hankey...my nose is 'leaking'" :)
- In one area of Plano, Texas there are so many Indians that the apartment owners do the yearly painting around Pongal! The numbers of Indians in any part of the world rocks! Bhanu, my colleague, believes that like "Apna Ohio" n "Apna Kentucky" there will be "Apna Alaska" n "Apna Antartica" too some day!

11th Nov:
- Mummy: "Mujhe mixed vegetable banana nahin pasand. Agar aaj mixed vegetable banao, toh kal kaunsi sabzi banao? Koi bhi toh nahin bachhi joh kal naa khai ho." :)
- Parul attempting to articulate a requirement: "The system will facilitate the user to publish a promotion only after it undergoes an approval workflow."
Yvette: "Can we replace the word 'facilitation'? It sounds too deep." :)
