OGLE -To stare at wolfishly
The male buffalo named Shera kept ogling at the buffaloes who were enjoying a nice bathing session at the village pond or jhod.
NUPTIAL- Pertaining to a marriage
Guy proposed to the girl,"Will you be my partner on my nuptial day?"
RENDEZVOUS- meeting
Shera(the same male buffalo mentioned in the OGLE sentence) kept waiting for the buffalo at their usual rendezvous,the same village pond,on the Valentines Day but the buffalo ditched and deserted him.(This was the reason for his ogling...)

रविंदर, या पाठशाला बढ़िया है भाई और बातों बातों में अंग्रेजी भाषा का ज्ञान बढाने का अच्छा तरीका है I आर सहारण नै भी अपना humour दिखान का बढ़िया मौका मिल ज्या गा I

This word 'rendezvous' is basically a French word which has been accepted in English dictionary also as it is. It is pronounced as रान्देवू in French. But I have heard some very educated English speaking people mis-pronouncing it as रेन्देज्वौस.

[ravinderpannu]

I agree with u vp sir,

well it is a value addition to know about the origin of the word rendezvous..,, long backn (8 yrs bk) i used to spell it as रेन्देज्वौस ,soon i realised that it is रान्देवू.

Easy French words accepted as it is in English dictionary-albeit with a little variation in usage.

Sans : Without (pronounced as सां in French). In French also same meaning.
deja vu = something one is sure to have already witnessed experienced. Literal meaning in French is "already seen"
beau: A male escort/boyfriend of a girl. In French literal meaning is "handsome" - antonym of "belle" which is used for beautiful in French

Splice : Well, there is a growing requirement for Fiber Splicing Engineers these days due to increase in fiber based networks.
Metamorphosis: there is metamorphosis in thinking in arab world leading to agitation in the society.
Inert : Most of the people registered with JL are inert.
Vortex : Tornados are examples of vortexes

[Saharan1628]

Splice
The haryanvi metaphor of punjhad paadna(ripping the tale out) is difficult to apply literally on animals like mehns(buffalo) since their tale is perfectly spliced with their body.

Inert,Metamorphosis,Beau,Vortex
My buffalo became fat and inert and was not giving proper amount of milk.Baba Ramdev suggested some yoga exercises for her and after doing those for quite some time there has been a metamorphosis in her physical appearance from the earlier one and her beau(Shera) is paying much more attention towards her.The sizzling avatar of her has created vortex among all the male buffaloes of the village.

pls tell use of ''to be''

[QUOTE=vpsingh;But I have heard some very educated English speaking people mis-pronouncing it as[/QUOTE]

VP Singh Jee, It is usually the well educated class of people that bring about change in the formal use of a language. Once they popularize a particular usage, it then becomes mainstream. I read this somewhere.

Urmila.

[urmiladuhan]

pls tell use of ''to be''

"To be or not to be" is the opening line of Shakespeare's play - Hamlet. I just googled it and it means 'indecision'. When a person is not sure which side to take.

Urmila.

[ravinderpannu]

And what about <Could> bls31

Sir ji,

Yes Urmila ji, you are right. In fact it was a suicidal statement of Hamlet when he considered himself a useless fellow because of his inability to take revenge of his father's murder by his uncle who wanted to be a king. He was in a dilemma whether to remain alive or not.

Since this thread is related to English Proverbs,I wonder if anyone could write some Sidhuisms(proverbs from the mouth of Navjot Sidhu) in this thread or maybe start a new thread coz they are the best and awesome as well as agrestic in nature.Sidhu is well renowned for those.And also it's high time to keep a note of Sidhuisms since IPL season is going on and he is being asked to SPEAK..Boy that man loves speaking..
Probably the only one who could give Obama a run for his money when it comes to being a great orator.
