5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and entertaining 8 Nov 2006
By Ajay
Format:Hardcover
My initial misgivings were soon dispelled when I found this to be an entertaining and thought out read. In that I mean, the book has words for us all. I didn't know that some of the words had direct links to Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi and considering I'm a word buff, I welcomed the chance of being put to rights. It's good to see that British Asians are making their mark in dictionaries too. What's better is that Collins can see and affirm the Hinglish contribution without getting to pedantic about it all.

Cool read - had to happed sooner or later.
