The word I'm hoping to add to common English speech is howmanyeth, literal translation of that lovely Tamil word ethanavadhu. Example: "Shubman Gill is the howmanyeth batter to score twin hundreds in an Edgbaston Test?" Don't know what other languages have a similar word.
There are a bunch of useful things I've picked up from Indian English: "Prepone" as the opposite of postpone (just makes sense and is a hole in the language otherwise.) "Sleep" as an inceptive rather than durative verb. ("I will sleep at 10" rather than "I will go to bed at 10")

Men have cheated on the most beautiful (and/or successful women in the world): Monica Bellucci, Liz Hurley, Shakira, Jennifer Aniston, Princess Diana, Halle Berry, Beyoncé etc etc It is never about the wife's attractiveness. Always about the man's insecurity and lack of integrity. And all the idiots sneering at Jensen's wife are the same ones who wonder why young women now don't want to get married or have children... And who try to scare them saying that they would grow old alone... yeah, right! And those crying about his not having a pre nuptial agreement How will he have a prenup? He married her when he was a poor student waiting tables She would have been the trophy wife for an impecunious Taiwanese 40 plus years ago when Taiwan was a manufacturer of cheap trinkets: A white American who was one of the three girls (among 250) studying engineering She looked after the family finances while he was setting up Nvidia, even selling her jewellery to support him. Remember almost every tech entrepreneur story in the US is remarkably similar: with either the parents providing the money and/or contacts (Bill Gates, Jeff bezos, Michael Dell Zuckerberg etc etc) or the spouse taking up the load when he is struggling. And when the business is being set up the spouse is normally the administrator, HR, intermediary arranging Finance - all of it From Bezos to Narayan Murthy it exactly is the same story Easy to support an ungrateful wretch, isn't it?

Enjoyed watching #Scene. The cinema hall in Singapore was full. It was good to see Suriya back in full form. Brought back the memories of Ghajini, Ayan time Suriya. The humour, action and the story line are excellent. One can watch with family.

ஒரு செல் உயிரியான பாசியில் தொடங்கிய ஒரு ஆய்வு, மனித மூளையின் செயல்பாடுகளை மிக நுணுக்கமாக கண்டறிய வழி வகுத்துள்ளது. இந்த ஆய்வு எப்படி வளர்ந்தது. இதன் பயன்கள் என்ன அறிந்துகொள்ள காணொளியை காணுங்கள். #LetScience #Optogentics @thil_sek @HilaalAlamTamil facebook.com/share/v/1HZ3XtY…

I wish she also played Indian (carnatic music) style. Curious to know the difference.
How cultures sound on a violin. It's fascinating how different intervals can instantly evoke a whole culture. Julia Kim plays 5 scales 🎻 Egyptian, Celtic, Chinese, Japanese, Sundanese.

Vietnam has become a favourite new destination for Indian travellers. But if we turn their airports into picnic spots, spreading food and litter, we risk becoming very unpopular tourists. When will we learn to travel with civic sense? 😮

I have tweeted this before too, The only reason these people travel is, to show themselves off! They have a strange exhibitionist fetish. They fulfil it by doing silly antics like these.. dancing in public places, sitting on floor and eating, anything to make a spectacle of themselves ! They don’t travel to enjoy the world. They travel to get “noticed” .. and this is an extreme form of inferiority complex.
Very proud to tell y'all that our fellow Indians organized a bhandara inside terminal building of an airport in Vietnam. I would request everyone travelling abroad, please do'nt consider organizing this kinda setup in any airport. 🇮🇳

Dear fellow Indians We respect Hindi. Please don’t insist that we speak Hindi in places such as restaurants, banks, offices & airports. If we do not respond in Hindi don’t compel us. Be respectful & sensitive. Hindi is NOT our national language. India has NO national language.

The pain in her eyes 😭. The audacity of some Indians to assume that every Indian should be able to speak Hindi is regrettable.
