SHUDHH HINDI BOLO NA

I belong to The CBSE medium, where we are taught Hindi, Sanskrit and English as Primary languages, rather then any vernacular languages.

During my school days, we used to study..........Hindi' s some of the ever great poems of Subhadra Kumari Chauhan "Jhansi Ki Rani", Surya Kant Tripathi "Nirala" and many more. Our Hindi teacher, taught us very well, explaining the meanings of each term in "SHUDHH HINDI". When I was in 7th Std., my Hindi teacher was teaching one lesson (I forgot the title), in between she described the term "TRAIN". Being a very keen student to learn Hindi, I innocently pointed out "Madam, Train word to English ka origin hai",aap kyun usa use kar rahe ho, shudhh Hindi bolo na". To my ladyluck, I was not kicked out of the class, rather she kept things in her mind, and started explaing in shudhh Language.
I faintly remember, she explained, AAVAT JAWAT GAMINI. We all were staring at each other, as nobody was aware about its meaning. Then she started teaching once again, she told " ladke Lamb Dand Gol Pind Sar Patak Pratiyogita Khel rahe the". We all started shouting in the class " madam you are not teaching us properly". Ultimately, she told that AAVAT JAWAT GAMINI is train and Lamd Dand Gol Pind Sar Patak Pratiyogita is CRICKET.
Since then realized how it would be agitating to spell shudhh Hindi.
My mother is Sanskrit teacher, one day she was teaching us the RAM RUP ( AA KARANT PURLING), one of my classmate shouted, madam pl. "PAAD ke rup batayina".In real sense, PAAD in Sanskrit means legs, but in Gujarati and Hindi, it has got some other meaning, I leave upto u to find out it and let me know.
