"via Bhatinda" ...

hi dosto
salaam
hru?

i heard Rauf Klasra use this word quite frequently.

what do you understand by this phrase? why the name of an Indian City, Bhatinda [in Punjab], is used in this phrase?

ihave been using this phrase since my childhood when i had no idea about the geographic location of Bhatinda and the word ‘VIA’ itself because i hadn’t learned English yet.

so, come on guys, put your two cents in.

regards

I think Bhatinda was one of the oldest junction/routes built in British era

Re: "via Bhatinda" ...

Lahore is in other side of border. I travel punjab via Patiala because of Nanihal and highway is better only In UP GT road has any significance other than that even in Pakistan GT has no importance now :)
