It was impressive, but bloody messy on those fingers Are going to help the thing how would she ever get them clean or get rid of the smell? yeah, I just Wasn't hungry anymore. You know what's funny right? Last time. I was here. So these two old men sat eating like this How can that be comfy, right? Vinay said that all the old Indian men do this at the dinner tables, ...your dad No I mean my dad was a stickler for table Manners Everything had to be in with a knife and fork even weetabix what, my dad thought that's how you integrate we gave the empire pajamas and branders, and they gave us cutlery and cleaner hands (Bollywood song playing in background - from movie "Ram Lakhan" - Deena Deen dha) (Hindi - Rump pum pum ...)

As someone with an ethnic name and backround, and nothing to show for it, this video hits home with me. I've always been slightly interested in learning my native language, but god damn it....I already started learning Japanese.
So can anyone care to explain the leaves they were eating/chewing? Do you eat it? Do you chew it? If you just chew it, what is it for?
Thats not perfect hindi XD
