    Hindi/Sanskrit

    yeah, i was thinking that, or satsangi, or a handful of other terms. the problem is that hinduism really doesnt have the sin-redemption idea, so penitance is lost to the language =)

    Hindi/Sanskrit

    finish? i've only just started it =) it's very complex, and i want to do it right =) and no, there really isnt an easy way to pluralise. it's very dependant on word gender and if the word is a sanskrit loan word or a native hindi word. in this example, it would be andh sanyassio.

    The return of the Colossal D&D sale

    ahh. my bad, i didnt see that part of the post =) Wow, Shimla, huh? That's way north. Be careful though, as a lot of the kashmiri violence has a tendancy to spill into Himachal Pradesh. Same with the Punjabi separatist movements. Nonetheless, it's still hella cool what yall are doing...

    The return of the Colossal D&D sale
