Asker


There are limited things to do in Dhaka and so i will take Catherine shopping on the week-ends. This is not your neighborhood mall, but usually a more open air kind of market. Recently, a shop owner looked at Catherine and then said to me "What is her name?" i replied "ask her" . He again asked ME "what is her name?" i replied AGAIN "ask HER". he leaned down right in Catherine's face and said "ah, Asker, what a beautiful name!"
another example of NQR* in Bangladesh...
*NQR=not quite right
