Subject: Bhopali Lingo

 

Bhopal is famous for four things "Parda/Zarda/Garda/Naamarda". The first of the four words 'Parda' is for symbolizing the old tradition of having Burqa clad ladies which you'll come across in scores on the streets of Bhopal.
The second 'Zarda' symbolizes yet another tradition of chewing Tobacco with 'Paan', which is in vogue till today. You can still find pan stalls all over the city in scores. The third 'Garda' is for the dusty roads one came across in the old days of yore. 'Naamarda' refers to the eunuchs reciding in the older areas of the city, specifically Itwaara, Somwara and Mangalwara. They dance at various occasions such as marriage and birth of a child, and demand for money in return of the 'favour'.
A famous dish of Bhopal is "Bun Kabab" ( along with namak waali chai ). Easily available on the streets of old city, these small eateries are a meeting point for many.
