A tribute to the original linguists

Ever wondered from where do the gracious words like fundoo,todu,fodu,rapchick,dhaakad and many others come from.

I think i just came across the source,the fountains of such words.

They are simply you and me,but rewinded a few years backwards.For some it will be rewinded many years backwards.

They are children below the ages of 5,at their creative best.

When i listen to such children calling,a computer,adum.
When i listen to such children calling,sleep,nina.
calling pen,mann.nature's call,chicha.
going to lu,as su.
calling nani,nun.calling food,khau.
calling chewing food as kattu kattu.
water,mum.

calling opening something(kholna),as lolo.
calling sitting down(beutho),as te to.
anything which is double,as tutu.

And another calling rain as appa mum mum.
and yet another calling loo,as vivi.

And the most amazing children singing,Bulla ki jaana main kaun,by Rabbi Shergil,

as "Bulla se shana(smarter) kaun?"

i am forced to think,who the real balshrees are!

Dear Balshree Kids,
We were planning to launch balshree.com for balshree awardee from Bihar. It seems this Project is not going to be approved from concerned department. Now, this domain is almost useless. I visited your page today and an idea flashed in my mind. Can we develop balshree.com as a PORTAL for all Balshree awardee across country? A PORTAL where we can put blogs, Discussion Forums, Photo Sharing and so on? Share this Idea with your friends and let us know. Please do reply asap within a week appreciated.
