desi budya
Tuesday 10th July 2007 01:50:10 PM
Man I am so sick of seeing the same post everyday, someone update it pleeeease ... no? Oh alright then I'll do it (but the next one's on you).
I've called this one "desi budya" i.e. old asian women. The worst thing about this breed of women is that they are damn outright annoying, and to top it off they don't even know that they're being a pain in the backside (and if they do but play dumb, then buddi, you got moral issues and I'mma get ammi on you). I could give you so many examples right now cos I'm a bit peeved off, from a buddi's phone call no doubt.
Let me fill you in ... 10am sitting at home having breakfast, phone rings *ring * ring * ring*, I let it ring for a good few minutes (hopin that it rings itself out) cos I absolutely darn-outright-hate answering the house phone. Then mum shouts from upstairs "Toseeeeeeeeeeeef !" which in other words - amongst other things - means answer the god damn phone you lazy sod.
As nobody else was home I had to do the "honours" (as such) otherwise I never answer the phone, either I let it ring itself out or wait for someone to make an entry. I know it's not going to be for me so why bother? Plus I have a certain dislike for phone conversations, anyway back to the call ...
Me: Hello?
Buddi: Thalamalaykum, puttar teek ai nah?
Me: (don't recognise your voice, but yeah knock me out straight away) Walaykumsalaam, jya teek taak.
Buddi: Amma kutheh nee? (in a mortifying parhe accent, still don't recognise her voice)
Me: Appur. (stretching my punjabi here, oh well)
Buddhi: Amma teek ai nah?
Me: Jya teek en.
Buddhi: Abba vee teek ai nah? (maybe the calls from back home thats why she's asking about dad?)
Me: Jya abba vee teek en.
Buddhi: Therr owr pehna prouwwa vee teek ai nah? (ok seems like pakistan, they'd have to be to ask about kids)
Me: Jya saaray teek ah.
Buddhi: Puttar thussa parnay sharney oh? (its confirmed, pakistan it is)
Me: Jya. (keeping it simple, maybe she'll go away?)
Buddhi: Therr kam sham vee karney oh? (yes pakistan what can I do for you?)
Me: Jya. (go away I said, can't you tell?)
Buddi: Aala changa veh, parhai theh kamm bandya ki doowr karne heh.
Me: Saiyyeh. (my favourite one word punjabi answer)
Buddhi: Phir amma kutheh nee?
Me: Appur. (penny drops) May theynanay phone.
* end of conversation *
I hand over the phone to mum who's upstairs and then make my way back to a breakfast that needs reheating, grrrrrr. Over breakfast I'm thinking what a weird buddhi, don't even know who the hell she is asking me so many repetitive lame-ass questions!
After a while mum comes downstairs and I'm still wondering where the old buddhi was calling from (normally I wouldn't care less but since I answered the phone).
Me: Ammi jee, pakistanu phone si?
Mum: Nah murya, Headfield Road. Commaytee nah puchni si.
WTF?! The buddhi was calling from a block or two away from us, such a retard asking questions for no reason whatsoever. I still don't know who she is but if I see her she gonna be sold to the local halal meat shop. For £1.50.

LOl, pag you dont know the skill dude, when asked how is your mum? the reply is 'teek taak, mai unna ki phone thanee/aa aah'. humph, what else can we expect from someone who neva answers da phone!
Feesa, that was GREAT! rofl...'what else can we expect from someone who never answers the phone!!'
I try and use the CLI (you know the little screen that gets the number on it?? Pini?) If its from abroad, i do not answer..its usually full of questions about my education, my shaadi, more shaadi and shaadi all over again. Haaaaaaaaaaaa ha aha haa *choke*
This was a classy post...really!
P.S. You forgot to post the transaltion for the ppl who don't know punjabi.
Firstly - i love the way you guys talk - what does "Saiyyeh" mean?
secondly - thank god you updated, i was gettin fed up too!
Thirsdly - leave the nice old buddhi alone, she was just being friendly :p
Whoa dude! The poor woman was only being nice! haha.. that was funny though and i liked the way you did your punabi phonetics (sp?)
tauba aj kal key bachey .... she shld call u up again hehehe [:p] the babe(read buddhi aunty) must be lonely
LOL. Tell me about them buddhis. Heck even the middle aged ones. They call in for my mom, I end up picking the fone and they just start off... and then when they do stop coz they decided to aska question... i go silent for a few secs... then say, lemme call mom. and then they haha huhu i thought u were her. very funny. what makes them think that my mom is the only person living in this house. oh and the random ones who go on and on with the same darned questions like ur buddhi. i dont even know wtf u are woman. grrr. she wanted to talk to ur mom why could she just have asked u in the first place if ur mom was home coz she wnats to talk to her... noooo she wnats to go and on with her pointless questions ... hoping for some gossip from the naive kid who may have picked up the fone. grr.
Goodness Pini, they are adding you to the database of eligible batchelors
dont worry , they dont want to marry you themselves but they like to pass on the info at the next function they go to where they see an unmarried girl
"so and so has an unmarried son" kinda thing
so this poor darling lady who probably isnt as old as you say... may well be doing you the favour of your life:D
erm.. or not
be afraid...very afraid:-p
take care
