Indian English-Part I
After completing today’s ISRO Scientist Entry Test (which I am sure to flunk), I was walking back home from Thriuvanmiyur Signal. (The one between Bus Depot and RTO) and I saw this poster. How we Indians kill English. :)
Ness Wadia (and hence Preity Zinta too 
)sure has reasons to be happy about. Bombay Dyeing is creating quite an impact on Indians.
Oh, the numbers are blanked out because I don’t want to be flooded with comments saying “I want a house in Adyar, Thiruvamniyur Area. Can you please SEND ?” No, don’t!! I am not a house broker.
Apartment Flats, hmm…nice new words. So now onwards if somebody asks me where you reside, i would say in that apartment flats

You didn’t get it actually, but it’s alright.
@George,

@Amog,
This is Chennai. People have the money. The day a housing project is announced, all the houses are booked in the next 24 hours.
@Rachel,
Ah, that’s ok. But you should learn to read between lines. Literally.
Apartment flats is an interesting angle in itself as opposed to those flat apartments we live in. 
@Marc,
Yes. I can sujjust the house you are living in currently. Or if you want to shift, you can come to my place. My house owner is demanding 10k per month from next month onwards. We are currently paying 6.5k. (for a two bedroom flat)

@George,
It may sound hilarious. Only because you haven’t heard people making use of it. It’s everyday usage really.
Things like “Blunder” aa mistake pannaraan are common usage these days.
After a while it gets annoying.

That’s just a ploy!
The minute you become interested in byeing a 20 lac flat:
Promoter:” sorry saar…all booked ”
Customer:” But i cannot able to understand. ”
Promoter:” when we advertise,all kaas-kaaran come and bye it. ”
Customer:” Pleej,can you able to find me housing? ”
Promoter:” Oh-justaminit,i fargaat..we have a 70 lac apartment-flat.You want? ”
Customer:” ya. “
