पे
I watched Chance pe dance , a Shahid Kapoor movie, and thought that it's as good a chance as any to find out what "pe" means.

This reviewer says that dance on chance implies seize the opportunity.
He seems to have liked several movies that I love too.

Jab we met. This was my first Hindi movie and it remains the Number One Favorite. I've seen it so many times I can understand it without the subtitles.

Glad you liked my reviews. Stumbling across this reminds me that I haven't written one in quite a while. Something I should correct soon, perhaps.
ReplyDeleteIf you're interested in translations, you might also like this Hindi section of a site on songs I started a while ago. The translations attempt to be poetic rather than word-for-word, and the site also needs more tending, but there is enough there to look at: http://indiansong.org/topics/hindi-songs
All the best with your Hindi adventures.
