About my city, please have a dekko

My journalist-friend has a role in this portal and recently he gave it to me to have a dekko. I thought of sharing with my friends as it contains some rare video clips of special occasion at the Palace. The prince worshipping the throne and all that. It is a rare one and public are not allowed at the ceremony. But this portal is supported by the Prince himself.

Hi Dinu. I have been looking at some of the vidio and it is fascinating. Thanks for sharing the link with us. Now, can you explain what a dekko is?

I too was wondering what a dekko is....

Have a dekko here, about dekko: http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?method=4&dsid=502&deid=1826327437&gwp=8&curtab=502_1 You learn a new word today, Zany! Even I had not the opportunity to have even look at pictures of the royal ceremonies- this video is truly a rare one.

LOL, I thought it was an Indian word or expression. I would never have suspected British slang! You really put that one over on me.

I was really suprised at the amount of video on that link. It will take awhile to view all of it. But the opportunity to witness the innerworkings of another cultures rituals and ceremony is wonderful.

But it has its origin in Hindi, go figure! I'd never heard it, either.

Having a dekko at the above replies is amusing. This is indeed a Hindi word for "dekho" --meaning 'look'. And a favourite word my writer-friend uses a lot. I tend to pick out the ones that I can remember easily and I have that shortcoming of going blank on words often!! Glad that there are word-hungry people out there! My colleague used to tease me for 'reading the dictionary' and now it is so releiving to have you out there, with me.

reading the dictionary is one of my great past times too....lol who would have hought that we would have a group of us here......I bet we all like scrabble too....

my husband used to read the dictionary. Some of the lesser common words stuck with him. Sometimes I just read the encyclopedia. Usually I am looking up something and just keep reading. I learn the most new words while reading the New Yorker, but right now I'm reading "Catch-22" and Heller uses an amazing vocabulary.

I'm on "Cloud 9"! And I'm this: http://www.answers.com/cyberslacker but don't spend lot of time, just a few hurried minutes and back to work!! I have used this word in my homepage. Another of my friend's favourites is http://www.answers.com/razzmatazz & http://www.answers.com/hunky%20dory & http://www.answers.com/willy-nilly Hope you had a dekko!

Yes indeed, scrabble fascinates me.

Great words! http://www.answers.com/cool%20beans !!

I'm a cyberslacker, I'm afraid. ;) But, I am also a homemaker, so the only work that suffers at the moment is housework and the garden. Spring's here, so the garden calls and I am again looking for plant info at DG.

Funny.. I use both honky dory and willie nillie a lot....especially willie nillie.....

Another I use a lot is Bee's Knees......that is one of my favories....
