Hello Priya! How are you today?

Hello Rohan! I am very well!

Oh wow! Why so much happiness?

Today we will learn an everyday thing!

Which thing? Tell me!

Small little talk! With new people!

Oh yes! Meeting, laughing, a little chat!

Right! People call this small talk!

But we will talk in easy Hindi!

Yes! Today we will learn six useful lines!

Our hero line is: kya haal hai?

Kya haal hai? Very easy, very useful!

As soon as you hear it, talk starts!

And five more lines are with us too!

Like: tumse milkar accha laga!

And tum kahaan se ho, kya kaam karte ho!

Phir milte hain, and dhyan rakhna!

These six lines help a lot at parties!

Priya, yesterday something weird happened to me!

Really? What happened, Rohan?

I got a little shy! My face went red!

Oh my! Tell the whole story!

And I will also share a fun India fact!

Story first! Then the fun fact!

Okay! Let's start!

So Rohan, where were you yesterday?

Yesterday I was at my cousin's wedding!

Oh wow! In Jaipur, or in Delhi?

In Jaipur! It was a very big hotel!

Flowers, lights, songs, everything was there?

Yes! Many people! Lots of food too!

So what was the weird part?

I met a new girl!

What was her name?

Her name was Asha! My cousin's friend!

Okay! What did you say first?

I went near her with a smile!

Then?

Mind empty! No words came!

Oh no! Then what did you say?

I said: Hi! Food! Good!

Haha! Food good? Like a robot?

Yes! Like a hungry robot! She got surprised!

Then what else did you say?

I pointed my finger at the cake!

And you said: Cake! Yes!

Really! I wanted to run away!

Haha Rohan! You can speak better!

I needed one easy line!

Which line?

Kya haal hai? Just that!

Kya haal hai? Meaning asking how someone is!

Yes! Friends, new people, everyone says it!

But in that moment you forgot?

Yes! Mouth open, no sound came out!

Then what did Asha say?

She laughed, and said: Hi! Kya haal hai?

Oh wow! She said the hero line!

Yes! Kya haal hai? She saved me!

Then what did you do?

I took a breath! Then spoke clearly!

What did you say?

Kya haal hai Asha? I am Rohan!

Much better! Name and the greeting both!

She said: I am fine! Tumse milkar accha laga!

Oh wow! The second line came too!

Yes! Tumse milkar accha laga sounds so sweet!

Meaning? Happy to meet you!

Right! Then my fear went down!

See! The hero line opens the talk!

Now kya haal hai is my easy first line!

At weddings, at the office, it works everywhere!

Now that fun India fact!

Yes yes! Tell me quickly!

I heard that in India, a lot of talk happens over chai!

Talk over chai? How?

People drink tea, and ask how you are!

Like: Kya haal hai? Want chai?

Exactly! At stalls, at home, at the office!

I also heard people talk on trains too!

Yes! Where are you going, how is the weather!

From small talk, hearts meet!

And at a wedding, a hundred new faces!

Haha! Then kya haal hai saves you!

One smile, one kya haal hai, is enough!

A long talk is not needed!

Right! Small line, big comfort!

Rohan, your wedding story was so fun!

Haha, I felt shy, and I laughed too!

Now we learn the other five lines!

Now we will learn the other five things!

Second one: tumse milkar accha laga!

Tumse milkar accha laga means "nice to meet you".

When you meet a new person, say this!

Like Asha said to me!

Yes! Warm, easy, and sweet!

I also said later: tumse milkar accha laga!

Third one: tum kahaan se ho!

Tum kahaan se ho means "where are you from".

Ask the city, or the village, in a soft voice!

Asha is from a small town near Jaipur!

Nice! Then you can say: is it nice there?

Yes! One small question is enough!

Fourth one: kya kaam karte ho!

Kya kaam karte ho, meaning what is your job!

At an office party, this question comes a lot!

Asha asked: so, kya kaam karte ho?

And what did you say?

I work in sales! You?

Clear! Answer, then ask back!

Asking back is my new habit!

Haha! That keeps the talk going!

Fifth one: phir milte hain!

Phir milte hain means we will meet later!

Not a long goodbye! Soft and easy!

If you need to meet someone else at a party, say this!

Nice talking! Phir milte hain!

Not cold, not rude! Just easy!

And sixth one: dhyan rakhna!

Dhyan rakhna means take care of yourself!

When going home, say to friends: dhyan rakhna!

Start with kya haal hai, end with dhyan rakhna!

A full small path! Very easy!

Rohan, which team are you on?

I am on Team Rohan! Short talk, quick!

And I am on Team Priya! A bit longer, warm talk!

Haha! Both are good!

A smile is needed, and kya haal hai!

Now a guessing game!

Yes! In India, how much do people talk over chai?

Umm, do half the people talk over chai every day?

I heard even more than that!

Oh wow! Chai really opens talk!

One more small question!

Yes Priya, ask! I am ready!

At a wedding, how many new people does one guest meet?

About twenty people?

I heard sometimes even more than fifty!

Fifty! Then you may say kya haal hai a hundred times!

Haha! So remember the hero line!

Kya haal hai is my best friend now!

Rohan, now practice time!

I am ready Priya! You ask the questions!

First question! You meet a new girl at a wedding. First line?

I will say clearly: kya haal hai?

Oh wow! Exactly right!

Second question! You also add your name. How will you say it?

Kya haal hai? I am Rohan!

Bravo! Greeting and name, both!

Third question! You want to show happy meeting. What will you say?

I will say: tumse milkar accha laga!

Great! Sweet and easy!

Fourth question! You want to know her city. What will you ask?

I will ask: tum kahaan se ho?

Very good! Ask in a soft voice!

Fifth question! About work. What will you ask?

Kya kaam karte ho?

Right! It is very useful at the office!

Sixth question! Talk is over, you leave. What will you say?

Nice talking! Phir milte hain!

Excellent! Not a cold goodbye!

Seventh question! One sweet line when going home!

Dhyan rakhna!

Oh wow! It feels from the heart!

Eighth question! Say the hero line twice!

Kya haal hai? Kya haal hai?

Very good! Saying it again helps memory!

Ninth question! Three lines together!

Kya haal hai? Tumse milkar accha laga! Tum kahaan se ho?

Amazing! All three clear and easy!

Tenth question! Ask about work, then say goodbye!

Kya kaam karte ho? Phir milte hain! Dhyan rakhna!

Bravo Rohan! You are a small-talk master!

It is all because of you, Priya!

You gave very good answers!

Now I can start new talk without fear!

Yes! Speak a little every day, fear goes down!

Tomorrow I will meet a new friend at the office!

And you will say loudly: kya haal hai?

Yes! I will also say tumse milkar accha laga!

Ask about city and work too!

Phir milte hain, dhyan rakhna, I remember those too!

Great! Now you are ready!

Thank you Priya! I learned a lot today!

Listeners will learn too for sure!

Rohan, today's talk was so fun!

Yes Priya! I also had a lot of fun!

Today we learned six useful lines!

Kya haal hai, tumse milkar accha laga!

Tum kahaan se ho, kya kaam karte ho!

Phir milte hain, and dhyan rakhna!

And the Jaipur wedding, and the chai talk!

All lines were easy, useful every day!

Now for the listeners, today's task!

Today's task is very easy!

Think: tomorrow you meet a new person!

Stand in front of the mirror!

And say three times loudly: kya haal hai?

Then say three times: tumse milkar accha laga!

Then say: tum kahaan se ho?

Then say: kya kaam karte ho?

Then say: phir milte hain!

And at the end say: dhyan rakhna!

Speaking loudly will lower the fear!

And your Hindi will feel better!

Try these lines with friends too!

Next time, when there is a wedding, or a party!

Be sure to say kya haal hai!

And yes, do not say cake yes!

Haha! Not food good either!

Right! Robot talk, closed!

One smile, kya haal hai, is enough!

If there is chai, even more fun!

Yes! Talk over chai opens the heart!

Remember the Jaipur wedding, right?

Yes! Asha saved you!

Kya haal hai saved my life!

So remember: kya haal hai?

On a new face, keep a smile, and speak!

It is easy, and fun too!

Yes Priya! Everyone is ready now!

See you next time, friends!

Keep learning Hindi, and keep speaking!

Take care! Bye-bye!

Bye! Do not forget kya haal hai!
