Desi Word of the Day

Inshallah = God Willing

This is more of a Muslim thing then it is desi, but it does apply in the subcontinent. Pakistani's use this term all the time (including yours truly), as it's a nice way of staying humble and showing your spiritual side I suppose. It's a very nice thing to say, regardless of religion, as exemplified in the following phrase:

"Inshallah I will be able to make some more friends who AREN'T blokes!"
