Why Desis feel no embarrassment for passing air publicly? :hmmm:

ek joke yaad aa gaya:

 *One day President Clinton was visiting Queen Elizabeth and she  decided to take him for a tour of London in the Royal Carriage. Now the  carriage was being pulled by six Royal Stallions and one of them  suddenly passed gas. It sounded like a twenty one gun salute it was so  loud. The smell permeated the inside of the carriage and the Queen was  totally devastated.*
  *"I apologize profusely for the terrible smell inside the carriage", she said.*
  *"Oh, that's alright", said the President, for a minute there I thought it was the horse."*

Re: Hawa ke naam

Vaayu and Varun are used in both Sanskrit as well as Hindi and also in some more Indian languages. Gaali in Telugu and Kannada.

Re: Hawa ke naam

Varun is for water. Vayu is deity (means blower)(A person or device that blows) Vaata means blown literally. Pavana is also used in Sanskrit.

Re: Hawa ke naam

wa'o is also used in Sindhi for air. koso wao is garam hawa... ladies give blessing to their children as 'shala koso wao na lagai'... May you don't have to face hot air (difficulties).

Re: Hawa ke naam

Wa in punjabi but I left it as it's very similar to hawa.

Re: Hawa ke naam

Hawa / Waa is used in almost all Indian languages. Interesting to note that Persian 'Baad' and Arabic 'Reeh' are not that popular. same is the case with words for water. Its pani in almost all Indian languages. Arabic 'Maa'o' and Persian 'Aab' are not in common use.
