A correction

In an earlier post, I had said that Will used the verb घूमना (ghoomna) to describe a wallet getting lost as the wallet "wandering" (ghoomna means "to wander"). Apparently I misunderstood. He actually said गुमना (gumna, without aspiration on the g and with a short u rather than a long oo). Gumna means "to disappear" or "to get lost." Sorry Will, and sorry to anyone trying to learn Hindi! (Though learning from my blog is probably a really bad idea.)
