Remember those good old days when you stood up in Hindi class to read out the “Mahabharata” chapter & got reprimanded for wrong pronunciation ? Hindi was probably the toughest subject to score marks but that sweet Hindi teacher made sure we scraped through the final exam inspite of our horrible command on the language. There was one more peculiar thing about them which you overlooked. They are actually the biggest foodies you’ll ever get across. These 9 idioms that came in our exam prove the point further. Who else will keep mentioning food in one way or the other in muhavare (idioms)?
1. When she got to know that you are “Abhishek’s real brother ” – She had been interested in pakwaans since a long time.
2. When she took you off guard by taking a surprise test – She was perhaps angry over her milkman.
3. When she rubbbed it in by asking you to get the report card signed by parents – She always made sure that your life & her lunch wasn’t bland.
4. Her comment when you tried to create a ruckus in class – Don’t you know she loved radish in salad ?
5. When your parents refused to believe that you bunk classes in school – Yup, she was a big fan of curd & aloo parantha.
6. Your feeling when she scolds you in front of the entire class– Worse than drinking green tea without adding honey.
7. That’s what she advises your parents to make you study – Hookas were popular then also (wink wink)
8. When you & your friends were planning some mischief & he catches you – Khichdi , yo yo !
Isn’t it similar to your die hard foodie friend you just can’t think of anything except food ? We told you, these Hindi teachers are smarter than you ever thought them to be. “Beta tum jis school mai padte thhey na, hum us school ki Hindi teacher thhey“.
