Stupidity

Dec 23, 2005 19:04

My brother and I do the stupidest things. We IM each other on MSN - he from his laptop, me from the PC. And both of us are in the same room, just a few feet away from each other.
Here, we have a term for such acts of boredom: khwaar, with the 'kh' being pronounced like the 'ch' in Chanukah or the 'ch' in 'Loch Ness'. A khwaar is a person who does ( Read more... )

Yeah, sure :D

I think I remember you mentioning that your brother goes to Purdue, right? Where is that school anyway? Haha, there are so many unis in the States that I have no clue as to their whereabouts. For example: Ball State? Where the heck is that? :)

It's in Indiana, about 2 hours from Chicago and 1.5 from Indianapolis. It's situated in a little town called LaFayette.

Ah. Two guys I knew in high school went there to run track. I'm pretty sure they've graduated by now.

Yay, India! I'd like to visit there sometime. Is the Bohri masjid a nice place? Because if it is, I'd probably spend most of the time looking at the architectural details of the place instead of the lecture/sermon, given that I'm an architecture buff. But SIX HOURS? Damn... O.O

Oh dear, you don't wanna visit India until and unless you have a portable toilet. The toilets there are horrid.
The Bohri masjid is actually a lot different from Sunni or Shi'ite masajid. It has a LOT of room for women. Usually 2 floors are completely for women. Each floor overlooks the very center of the ground floor, i.e. the men's floor. The architechture is slightly different from Sunni or Shi'ite masajid in this aspect. Also, you have to have a Bohri ID card to be allowed to enter the masjid :)

Ooo, India! That sounds like fun! Sorry to hear about the toilet situation though. I'm sure no one will mind if you go in the Ganges. Hey, people throw all kinds of shit in there!

The lecture sounds like it might be...interesting, lol. I'm sure you'll find something to do. Here's an idea: make some flashcards with a new Hebrew word that you want to learn on one side and its translation in, well, any language of your choice (English is my only choice, unfortunately). You'll be able to get a ton of Hebrew studying out of the way and you'll be able to carry them around really easily. I can't tell you how many hundreds of Hebrew words I have learned by doing that.

Lol :þ Can't pee in the Ganges. Gotta leave something for the Hindus to pee in, right?

Your idea sounds great! Or, I could simply take my Hebrew language book along and answer questions in that! :)

Haha, my brother and I do that all the time too! Can kwaar be plural? If so, we are a bunch of kwaars! Anyway, your India trip sounds quite interesting. Don't know if it would be awesome because come on, it's India or just plain boring. Maybe a little of both? Take lots of photos for me! Have a safe, fun trip.

wicked_danu December 24 2005, 05:50:10 UTC

Haha.. yeah, khwaar can be plural, but in Urdu the singular and the plural are both the same.
I can't take any pictures.. I won't be carrying a camera, because I'm not going as a tourist [God help those who do!]. But I will have interesting stories to tell :)

electricmenorah December 24 2005, 06:31:19 UTC

ah, you are just going to be inside the whole time? Eeeks!
