Charas Mat Bo

Oh, now I have got your attention, haven’t I? Stop scratching your heads while figuring out what the above phrase means. Well, it means don’t irritate or bore the hell out of me. But, then there’s something charming about the diction, right?

So fraands, welcome to the U.P. lingo. While I was born and brought up in the city of joy, my great-great-great-great-(phew!)- great grandfathers hailed from the land of Uttar Pradesh. While I have a clear hindi-diction with a mix of Bengali words and some proficiency in English, the seasoning of my lingo is done by the UP (or as we say it Kanpuria) words. ?

I am sure I have piqued your interests, slightly (at least), so why not give you a sample! Here are 15 U.P. wale words you, too, can add to your dictionary to jazz up your daily life convo.
