What's in a name?

Absolute yumm friend who has never entered the kitchen is forced to live by himself. He ate out every day and then realized he can't afford to and needs to get healthy.
Convo:
He: Yedi, I can't believe it!! I can't believe it!
Me: wot?
He: I made something. I created my own recipe. I'm soo proud of myself.
Me: wotcha do?
He: I chopped cucumbers and tomatoes. Added salt and pepper.
Me: okkkk.....
He: And get this... dumped a small container of yogurt and mixed it all in!!!! Not bad, huh?

Me: Ya, it's called raita, yeda!
Pause.....

He: %&^#%$ ! Pura uthar detha hai tu, Yedi!!! BYE!!

New old friends

Thanks to the big social network site, I found a whole bunch of kids I grew up with in Bombay!! It has been a blast from the past and when I call them, every 2 sentences ends up in giggles. I'm known to have great long term memory and these guys have been opening up more and more of my memory related cells and the laughter in my world has been beyond YUMMM!
To FB! love the way you connect the dots of my life! :)

Langotiya Yaar says,"Tu pagal tha.. abhi Khatarnaak Maha Pagal hua hai!" (Translation does not do justice to these words but roughly it means," You were always crazy...now you are a Dangerous and Bigger Crazy!)
Could I get a bigger compliment!! :)

Another sweetheart fuels my fire. Convo via Gtalk:
S: Hi yedi  (yedi in Bombaiyya= vedi in Marathi= crazy in English)
Guddi: HI!!!!!!!
S: What ghazal are you listening to?
Guddi: (!!!!) 'Aap ki yaad aathi rahi'.. but can't figure out what 'chashmanamm' means. My heads reeling. Looked all over the Internet and Farsi translation sites...
S: Yedi, it's 'chashm-e-namm'...meaning Eyes-e-moist!!
Guddi: OMG, I love you!!!! Marry me?
S: Bye, yedi!

Guddi: Can I come?
Tia: Lekin, Mere yahan Sun hai...(But, I can see the Sun here...)
Guddi: Tho? (So?)
