Harakh Padudi

























This is one of my entries for the typo day 2012 poster competition. We had to send in a poster using a word in our mother tongue. I chose to work on the word Harakh Padudi. 
I dont know when and where I heard it first, but I found it quite funny. It is a Gujarati adjective referring to someone who is overly excited. For instance, Harakhpadudi Hansa (There's a play by this name). Maybe similar to what we call an Enthu Cutlet in mumbaiyya language.
