Dhamki mein mar Gayaa jo; Naa baab-e nabard tha,
Ishq-e nabard-peshah, talabgaar-e mard tha. —– Ghalib

MY DICTIONARY PROJECT
I have started a new project called the Indic Dictionary. This will cover popular household words in India and what they are called in various languages. Eventually, I will make this an easy to use app where where people can easily find something like “hing in English” or “Tea Tree Oil in Hindi” or “carrom seeds in Urdu”.
