What is a “LOTTA” ?

Yeah, interesting enough?

I just started my blog and was wondering how to let people know about this mega happening on the face of internet. From some remote cell of my mind, yes I posses one, Bloggers.pk popped up. I went on to register my blog. I was impressed to read, “The blog author must be of Pakistan origin, to verify this we ask you to answer one question”, among the conditions to qualify for registration, and waited anxiously for the question to come up.

And the question was … yeah rite, “What is a “LOTTA”?”

So much Pakistani :)

OK, first post.

Gardish (as-sani), because I have been doing some tech-reporting on Gardish some years back, and this one is second in the series. I have recently started with Islamabad Metroblog, and while I was on to blogging certain things touched my mind but couldn’t blog them on IMB as those were not related to Islamabad.

Enough of a reason to start this blog.

Lets see what comes our way ….

See ya!

    Aaahhh, my bad. Should have mentioned in the first place.

    Well the definition I happened to compose after observing a lotta was, “A pot used to keep water for purification. Its a bowl like pot, but gets closed near top with a small opening left to pour water in. It also has a trunk, yeah like that of an elephant, which is used to get the water out of it, for use.”

    Comprehensive enough :)

    No, the definition that I know is ” A Lotta to me is Sheikh Rasheed” :)

    Comprehensive enough :D

    Janab,

    Lotta is derived from two words “Lot” and “AA” means wapis aa (Come Back)… that is some one who comes back… Let me complete ….

    Consider…
    1- I work at Company A
    2- I switch to Company B
    3- Then after 4 months I Get back to Company A. ;)

    This process of going from one place to other and then getting back is “Lot” “AA” can be read together as LOTA :)
