What is the most appropriate word for ‘GanDeri’ in English?
I have puzzled over this for long and asked a number of friends. In fact, this is a re-post of the question I had posed at this blog 3 years ago. The best I got was ‘sugarcane cut-piece’; where ‘cut-piece’ is itself a peculiar Pakistani-ism, if not Pinglish.
Do you have a better suggestion?
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
We call it Billets.
Hor ganay choopo, is a famous Punjabi story. Where a couple of friends were trying to come up with an idea of how to be rich (just like sheik chilli key mansoobay).
@Adil. If you are acting cute by getting puzzled over this, thats another matter. English has adapted a lot of words from other lanuguages. Evn Izat has made it to the dictionary. So ganderi will remain ganderi . ANyways nice try acting cute.
