#ऐकत

[survivetoread]

Conversation with my mum during the T20I Cricket World Cup final between India and South Africa, discussing the stray cat who lives in our building now.

Marathi:

Mum: दाराबाहेर कॉमेंटरी ऐकत असेल. [dārābāher kŏmenṭarī aikat asel] Me: विचारत असेल, "संजय मांजरेकर अजूनही खेळतो का?" [vicārat asel, "saṅjay māṅzarekar azūnahī kheḷto kā?"]

English:

Mum: She must be listening to the commentary outside the door. Me: She must be asking "Does Sanjay Manjrekar still play?"

Pun Explanation:

Marathi for cat is मांजर [māṅzar], which is, I presume, where the surname मांजरेकर [māṅzarekar] must eventually derive from.
