Typical Bollywood scene ………!!

माँ : बेटा आज मैंने तुम्हारे लिए गाजर का हलवा बनाया हैं ........

बेटा : अरे माँ तुम्हे कैसे पता मुझे गाजर का हलवा पसंद हैं?

One of the famous dialect in 70's in our own hindi movies……………... Cool na ;)………………. Son is asking how his mother knows what he likes………... Actually you should hear this from Shirish Kanekar in one of his stand up comedy show (He is also writer and film critic). But as my hubby says, ignore it.................. 'cinematic justice'.
