Cutting Chai and Maska Pao

  Mumbai is a jhakkas city with rapchik girls and pakaoing heat. Baffled? Don’t be!  Welcome to the world of Mumbaiyya-a deliciously colourful mix of Hindi, Marathi and English that comes naturally to all Mumbaikars. Informal and dynamic, free from grammatical stuffiness, Mumbaiyya is more than a language; it’s a culture all its own. It holds the keys to Mumbai, its lanes and bylanes, its dabbawalas and the Page 3 brigade, its Chor Bazaar and its BEST buses. Cutting Chai and Maska Pao is what you need to translate the pulsating metropolis that is Mumbai. Study it, laminate it, tuck it into your back pocket-it is your linguistic survival kit.
