The ZH has been very excited lately, and doing odd things around the house. She says a new kitteh is coming soon. Well, maybe not meowing kitteh, but rather one of those human "bachcha's". It will be the third grandbean for the ZH, a "chhele" grandbean. The "mata" is her daughter and the "baba" is her son-in-law. "Baba" is from Calcutta, (Kolkata) India. So I thought I should learn some Bengali words, the language spoken in that region. Above are some of the words I am studying. I am a bit worried though, because I have not yet found the word for "cat" or the word for "meow" or the word for "Zoey". Oh, and I guess it's almost time I should start calling the ZH "nani" and I should go tell the Zoolatry Dad he is "dadu".
