So आज के 16 व्यंजन कौन से हैं जो हम आपको डाबा भी सर्व करने वाले हैं? Let's check them out. The sixteen of them are allusions, malcontent, gargantuan. Putative, nuptial, licentious, diminutive, intrepid, innuendo. नौ में से कितने आते हैं चेक कीजिए आप। और अगले सात कौन से हैं? Bilker या bilk या swindle, zephyr. It's not zephyr, it's zephyr. Onorous, libertine, intimidated. Very easy one. I'm sure you know this one at least. Cousiner, yeah cousin, C-O-Z-I-N. Petrified. So these are the sixteen dishes that we're going to serve you today, and let you check for your own self how many out of the sixteen do you already know? And in case you do not know many, wow wow congratulations! You're in a great zone and at a great place. डाबा पे हम आपको सारा आपके पेट में डाल देंगे और आप कभी उसको निकाल नहीं पाएंगे। They'll become a part of you forever. So let's begin. तबा तुम्हारे ये इशारे हम तो दीवाने हैं तुम्हारे तबा तुम्हारे ये illusions या innuendo the synonymous के दो words आप एक साथ याद करिए तबा तुम्हारे ये innuendo so this beautiful song तबा तुम्हारे ये इशारे This movie, चलते-चलते got released in 2003. Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji starer. As a noun, it means an indirect or a passing reference. एक indirect reference, एक इशारा. Directly ना कहा गया हो, but indirectly एक इशारा दिया हो. For example, the book written in 1929 contained several allusions or innuendos to some widespread viral infection in 2020. Scary ना? But 1929 में किसी ने corona predict कर दिया था. So At times people spook you out with the future forecasting things. So illusions means innuendo. Innuendo means इशारे। One more way to remember this word would be Devanand Ji का एक कितना मस्त गाना था।
आँखों ही आँखों में इन्नुएंडो हो गया, बैठे-बैठे जीने का सहारा हो गया, आँखों ही आँखों में illusion हो गया।
And one more Amitabh Bachchan special song which I remember, very beautiful song.
छूकर मेरे मन को किया तूने क्या इन्वेंडो?
Yeah, illusion, इशारा। So I'm sure you got it right. These two words are a part of you forever. Just one more revision and they are with you forever. My name is Khan and I'm not a terrorist. Oh, what a beautiful movie it was. My name is Khan and I'm not a malcontent. Malcontent means someone who disturbs or causes trouble. Um, the malcontent youth soon began to plan a revolt. You can use this word both as a noun as well as an adjective. It was too late to stop the malcontents with a show of force. So I'm sure you got it right. My name is Khan and I'm not a malcontent, someone who creates trouble or disturbance or a terrorist kind of a person. That is a malcontent. So eighty percent mnemonics, the word connects are absolutely right. The other twenty percent, the nuance, the finer shade, the finer finer differences, exact definition and meaning. You have to back it up, substantiate with with a good dictionary when you make your notes. So eighty plus twenty जब कोई eighty मेरा twenty आपका हो जाएगा, तो word आपका permanently हो जाएगा, right? I'm sure you got it right. So malcontent means My name is Khan. I'm not a malcontent. So SRK की बहुत ही हिट मूवी आई थी वीर जारा। वीर जारा would be now called as intrepid जारा। Intrepid means fearless, very brave. So वीर जारा what do you call it? Intrepid जारा। And how do you use it as a sentence? Our intrepid army men. Yeah, some intrepid boys were still ready to take the difficult journey even after the calamity. एक सलमान भाई का गाना था दबंग मूवी का। हुड़ हुड़ दबंग दबंग दबंग दबंग दबंग means जो कि fearless हो, so इसको हम change कर देंगे। हुड़ हुड़ intrepid intrepid intrepid I'm sure you got it right and you're never gonna forget it.
He's the worst dancer you know, just opposite of Hrithik Roshan.
कोई बात नहीं सेनोरिडा, ऐसे बड़े-बड़े देशों में छोटी-छोटी बातें होती रहती हैं। सेनोरिडा, gargantuan gargantuan देशों में ऐसी diminutive diminutive बातें होती रहती हैं। DDLJ, the movie which told us what the meaning of youth is when we were growing up. Yeah, it made us daydream. It made us understand what love is all about. बड़े-बड़े देशों में ऐसी छोटी-छोटी बातें होती रहती हैं। Could be said as gargantuan, gargantuan देशों में ऐसी diminutive, diminutive बातें होती रहती हैं। Back it up with a good dictionary. Make your notes and these two words are forever used. I'm sure you got it right. SRK is the is उनको हम King Khan कहते हैं Bollywood का regarded. Regarded. So when you regard someone, the word is putative as an adjective. It means something which is generally considered or reputed to be. Supposed— he's a supposed King Khan. You know, uh, how do you use in a sentence? DNA testing will not be possible because the putative father has died. Putative means supposed to be. You can use another word called as putatively. Putatively as a word, it is used as an adverb. Putative as an adjective and putative as an adverb. So putative is supposed to be. For example, Rahul is the putative bully of class tenth. क्या मूवी थी यार मस्त मूवी अमृतसर what a beautiful place it is और फुलकारी के दुपट्टे इन्होंने पहने मिसेस कोहली ने और शाहरुख़ खान जी को सेंटी गया और रब ने बना दी जोड़ी would be called as रब ने नपचल सेट करा दी रब ने नपचल सेट करा दी। नपचल means anything to do with marriage or weddings. So today I receive a lot of emails from ladies who are in their 25 to 32. They're saying, "माँ आप पीछे पड़े हुए हैं शादी कर लो." So their parents are worrying about their nuptial plans. What ladies? Even men also. Nuptial means wedding. Their nuptial nuptials were initially planned for Europe, but because of corona, they finally married each other at the Agarwal. So napchel means wedding. एक पुराना गाना था बहुत अच्छे वाला।
शायद मेरे napchel का खयाल दिल में आया है, इसलिए मम्मी ने मेरी तुम्हें चाय पे बुलाया है।
Anyways, so पुराने गाने कितने मस्त होते हैं ना? Napchel means शादी, right? I'm sure you got it right. एक शाहिद कपूर जी की मूवी आई थी विवाह मैंने देखी नहीं but the just for if you if you if you're more of a younger generation millennial then विवाह I'm sure you would be able to recollect more than the song I just sang विवाह would be called as nuptial I'm sure you got it right सुरेंद्र सानी from पंजाब पावर तानिजी तानिजी आप क्या चाहती हैं सुरेंद्र जी मैं चाहती हूँ कि आप मुझसे इतना प्यार करिए कितना कभी किसी ने किसी को ना किया हो सुन्दर जी आप क्या चाहते हैं मैं तानी जी डॉन डॉन को जंगली बिल्लियां बहुत पसंद है हाँ हाँ हाँ डॉन डॉन को लाइसेंशियस बिल्लियां बहुत पसंद है जंगली बिल्लियां लाइसेंशियस बिल्लियां सो लाइसेंशियस means someone who who Who's lacking in legal or moral restraints? Someone who disregards the conventional morality norms, or someone who goes beyond the bounds or limits. जंगली बिल्लियाँ, लाइसेंटियस बिल्लियाँ। बहुत इम्पोर्टेंट महत्वपूर्ण सिनोनिम है इसका लिबर्टीन। लिबर्टीन में भी पहले दो अल्फाबेट्स L I हैं और लाइसेंटियस में भी L I हैं। So you can make these two parts, these two words a part of yours forever. Licentious as well as libertine. The lady officer Recognized his licentious advances early on and warned him. भाई सुधर जा। Licentious means जो कि खुला मतलब जिसमें कोई बंदिश ना हो। Dawn, dawn को licentious बिल्लियाँ बहुत पसंद हैं। I'm sure you got that right. बहती हवा साथा वो मतलब बहती जफर साथा वो। Again the pronunciation I'm reiterating for you is not zephyr it is jafar a soft gentle breeze with a cyclone warning in place it goes without saying That you can expect more than a zephyr, right? So मेरी तीन साल की बेटी आर्या उसको जब मैं सुलाना होता है तो उसके लिए लोरी जो गाता हूँ वो शाहरुख़ खान की मूवी है उसका ये गाना है इसने SRK special it is.
ले जाए जाने कहाँ हवाएँ हवाएँ बेगानी हैं ये बागी हवाएँ हवाएँ हवाएँ would be called as zephyr.
ऐ दिल है मुश्किल मतलब although it was an SRK movie as well. But Ranbir Kapoor, like his father, wonderfully talented father, stole the show here as well and took away Mrs. Kohli. No acting कुछ लफड़ा हो गया था last में। ऐ दिल है मुश्किल would be called as ऐ दिल है honourous. ऐ दिल है it means honourous means something which is very difficult. Let us applaud, acclaim and compliment the honourous duties of doctors during corona times, you know nurses, policemen, very honourous duties means something which is difficult. और इसी movie का एक बहुत हिट डायलॉग हुआ था। अगर आपने मूवी देखी हो, शाहरुख़ खान जी ने कहा था कि डरे हुए लोग अक्सर अलफ़ाज़ों के पीछे छुपते हैं। I don't remember if SRK said it or Aishwarya Rai said it, but the dialogue was डरे हुए लोग अक्सर अलफ़ाज़ों के पीछे छुपते हैं। Could be termed, re-termed in English as in a Dhaba language intimidated या petrified लोग अक्सर अलफ़ाज़ों के पीछे छुपते हैं। तोरे नैना बड़े दगा बाजरे भाई का नाम ना आए तो कोई भी ढाबा कंप्लीट नहीं है दगा बाजरे होए दगा बाजरे would be called as कजनरे होए कजनरे तेरे नैना बड़े कजनरे कजनरे as a noun means someone who cheats, dishonest person, an imposter or a swindler. इसका एक derived word है cousin. It's not cousin, it is C O Z N cousin. So याद रखने के लिए आप कोई आपका cousin हो जो कि जिसने cheat किया हो या धोखेबाज़ हो dishonest हो उसका नाम याद रख लीजिए कुछ भी है pintu pinku shintu sonu kakku जो भी है मतलब उसका नाम याद जब आप association बनाते हैं तो आप कभी नहीं भूलते right? So usage would be he cozoned several ladies, elegant ladies into Believing that he was intending marriage, and the synonym for it is a swindle or a bilker or a bilk. When you bilk someone, is someone you then you cheat someone. So I'm sure you got it right. So we done for the day, and let us recapitulate. आपको कितना याद रहा है? मैं आपको meaning नहीं बताऊँगा। आप अपने आप से पूछिए कि क्या इस शब्द का meaning आपको आपके दिमाग में घुसा कि नहीं घुसा? क्या हम आपकी अच्छी service कर पाए? क्योंकि अगर आपको अभी भी words याद नहीं हुए, then And it clearly means we need to improve our service at a dhaba. हम अच्छी सर्विस नहीं कर पा रहे हैं और आप हमें टिप नहीं देंगे। So let's check out the sixteen words whether you got them right or not. The first one illusions आता है कि नहीं? Malcontent, gargantuan, putative, nuptial, licentious. Don को licentious पिलिया। Synonym क्या था इसका? Libertine. I'm sure you remember. Diminutive. Intrepid, innuendo, bilk, bilker, swindle, zephyr, honorus, libertine, intimidated, दगा बाजरे कजनर, petrified. So sixteen done for the day. So boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, Shah Rukh Khan के total चार seasons होने वाले हैं। दो हो चुके हैं, दो episodes हो चुके हैं, दो और आएंगे। थोड़ी सी break के बाद इसके बाद हम retro But I'm really hoping that you're enjoying the time that you're spending at Dhaba because our intention of working this hard is only one, and that is that you become good. And if you're not becoming good, then you're defeating our whole effort and intention. Make sure you revise these words and make them an integral part of your communication till the time we come with the new set of dishes at Dhaba. Hasta la vista! Thank you very much. Stay rising. Stay shining. Thank you.
