Lata  was best friends with Lila   and Rama with Anil. They drank a bottle of cola and lo…popped out  Ganga  

  Lata brought along Rebeca whereas Rama chose Chandal.  Rama forgot that Cita  was a Red.

No, I have not gone crazy. (And no offense intended to the above named, please) The former are Spanish words that sound like Indian names . The following are their English translations.

Lata = Tin  Lila = purple Rama = branch   Anil = blue Cola = queue

Ganga = bargain Chandal = tracksuit  Cita (Sita, poetic license) = appointment  Rebeca = cardigan  red = web

More kidnapped words by Spanish from Indian language:

naranja= (narangi) = orange

tu= tu (mazhi ahes) = you

pagar= pagar ( kadhi honar?) = to pay salary

culo= culya (var laath milel) = buttocks

santo = sant (Tukaram etc) = sage/saint
