and start a Punjabi Learning Team.
Anyone interested?

My apology for the delay.
The resources for Punjabi online are not as vast as
Hindi y Urdu. And my local bookstores do not have any
books for Punjabi language. I will have to order some.
Will try to post some online resources for Punjabi I have found, within the next couple of days. Anyone wanting to add to resource list, please do.

OK I am feeling like a failure!
Here is a link of post to some Indic Language resources I have found on the web but still don't have books on Urdu or Punjabi languages.

New Phrase - Koi masla nahi = no problem

Will be adding more within next couple of weeks.

Lucky me! I didn\'t know it initially but I hired a bartender for my Salsa Club; then found out he grew up in Pakistan and speaks Urdu, Hindi and some Punjabi! Yey! Speaking Spanish, Indic languages and Arabic on Saturdays now! Yippy Skippy Yahoo!

New phrase - I have one, for now.
Everyone in the whole world has troubles.
Punjabi (India) Nanuk dukhea sab sansar.

It means we should relax and let things come as they may, not to get so agitated and stressed. Basically, chill out.

I would love to find some people to practiice with, especially if you are into Punjabi music, bhangra/desi, I have been trying to learn some Punjabi through song lyrics.

I have a little website dedicated to my favorite desi music if anyone is interested. http://www.desimoon.com

Thanks in advance for any help.

Rupa
