A very thoughtful start of the B week at ABC wednesday with tribute to the incident in Norway.
So, I was thinking, what to post for letter B this week. And as i visit one of my friend's little Baby, i came across the toy which sings the nursery rhymes and i hear the famous rhyme old mcdonald had a farm. That reminded me of Britain's got talent participant Erick Reid's version of this rhyme. So he goes with a baaa- baaa - baaa, baa here, baa there, everywhere baa baa. Makes me go Boy-o- Boy. Do check out his version, which has surely revolutionized the rhyme recitals and baffled all the listeners.
Interestingly, Gujarati which is my native language, Ba refers to grandma. Often one of my friend refers to his elderly office colleague as Ba, and i get puzzle over which Ba he refers to as he stays as a paying guest to an elderly couple (Ba-dada which means grandma-grandpa). More often a toddler whispers Ba as the first word. Baba in Hindi would mean a saint, little boy or father. Also, "ba-ba" refers to goodbye or outing in toddlers language.
Well, that's all the Blah blah I have for now. Until then Buh-Bye (read ba-ba).
PS: Gujarati and Hindi are one of the many languages spoken in India.
