Hi Bhosadike<

Hi
Bhosadike!!!!!!!!
It would surprise many of you to know that the origins of this word are in a Sanskrit greeting,
Bho sad ike ?
meaning,
Sir, are you well?
Everyone knows that 'Sad' is a prefix used for good things, like sadguru, sadiccha etc.
'Bho' is a term used for respect, brahmins will know it since it is used in the abhivadaye.
Ika is a aatmanepadi verb meaning 'to be'.
ike ikaavahe ikaamahe
Ikase ikethe ikadhve
ikate ikete ikante
are its forms.
This was a popular form of greeting in ancient India, before the Mughals came and prohibited this greeting, for reasons unknown.
However some enterprising locals continued to use this greeting.
Therefore, to assasinate this greeting morally, the mughals gave it vulgar connotations, and those are alive even know.
It is time we revived our ancient indian traditions.......
Say Bhosadike to all the people you meet and explain them its true meaning.
