speaking of gujarati... perhaps it's due to my limited exposure to that language, but whenever i think of it i remember the passages in _midnight's children_ [1] where the bombay language riots are supposedly caused by marching gujaratis bumping into marching marathis as the narrator looks on, the latter shouting a supposed parody of the gujarati language: "su chhey saru chhey danda leykey maru chhey". i'm not sure i understood all the nuances of that phrase. -rishab 1. a great book, but so much so that rushdie seems never to write any other.
