Bhosadi Ke

No no no no no....

that is not an abuse. Delhi Belly has made this suddenly hip & popular now, but this is pretty old from since I was in school (DPS RK Puram, New Delhi, since you ask) or even before. Cryptically DK Bose has been around for a long time. For us, it helped that one of our friends was actually a D Bose. K was introduced by us in his name. It suited. It also helped understand the meaning. Now I am being mean.

anyway.. it is not an abuse.

As history goes, its supposedly originated from Gujrat. To understand the origination, break the word down..

BHO + SADI + KE

BHO - Earth - fertile earth
SADI - Rotten
KE - From

Combined - One who hails from infertile or rotten land.

Useless Trivia : In Pune there is an industrial area called Bhosadi, only they pronounce it as Bhosaadi ('aa' as in aadmi). I cant resist snickering everytime i tell the taxi driver to take me to Bhosadi. God people can wait to get out of Bhosadi and I am asking to be taken there. Bhaiya 'Bhosadi ke' liye rasta kahan se jaata hai ... ha ha ha ha ( Bro, bhosadi ke, how do i get there ?)

So the song is actually awesome, even if you remove Mr. DK Bose from it. Music is rocking, singer is awesome and the lyrics are stupendous.

Daddy bola to galti hai meri..
Zindagani tujhpe guilty hai meri...
Sabun ki shakal main beta tu to nikla keval jhaaaag....
Jhaag.. Jhaag Jhaaag -- BHHAAAAG !
