Overheard in India

Overhearing funny and sweet things in India are ideal examples of a dual-SIM identity. While they may be something normal for someone living there, they can evoke different emotions in someone else. Here are a few things I've heard in India:

The Outrageous
Person to employee: Woh pagalo ke doctor ko deaao. [Go give it to the crazy people's doctor.]
Me: Confused look
Another person in the room: Psychiatrist.


The Adorable:
The Canadian flag's description in India: "Red and white with the Mohabbatein wala patta." 
[Red and white with the leaf from the movie Mohabbatein.]


The Interesting
My driver's description of Gurgaon, "Haryana ka Singapore." [Haryana's Singapore] 


The Sweet yet Amusing:
From a Domino's salesman on the phone taking my order "Aap extra cheese lellejiye, apka pizza delicious ho jayega."
[This one is hard to explain...any suggestions?] 


There are countless such situations and I'm sure I'll be discussing them in many more posts to come. What are some interesting things you've overheard in India?
