You ask me to “say the poojas”

My ignorance of my own culture (a culture I respect immensely) lets me down at times. For that I apologise. Can you confirm what the word “pooja” means?

I may embarrass myself if I even try to guess.

Here goes. You state its a ritual therefore sounds like a ceremony or a religious custom or a social custom. I'm out of my depth here however an attempt at hazarding guess I would say the word has something to do with a social custom considering a Forum is more a social gathering. Dam it I probably am wrong in which case you guys can laugh at my expense.

Please take me seriously here I genuinely do not know what “pooja” means and because of my dilema I would really appreciate your enlightening me on the meaning. The last thing in the world I want is for bad luck to follow my butt around.

Thx

KIA ORA MEANS

Kia ora is a Maori language greeting which has entered New Zealand English. It means literally “be well/healthy” and may also be regarded in a more formal sense as a traditional greeting of “Good health.” It is used for both “Hello” and “goodbye” and as a general exhortation or acknowledgement when listening and responding to a public speaker. It is a popular phrase, and has also given its name to a number of businesses, from hotels to a well known concentrated orange soft drink which is available internationally.

The word Maori refers to the indigenous Polynesian peoples of New Zealand, and to their language.

AS FOR WHICH LANGUAGE I SPEAK – ENGLISH – I AM AN INDIAN FROM INDIA – I DO NOT SPEAK MUCH (NOT AT ALL ACTUALLY)

INDIAN. REASON? MY ANCESTORS MIGRATED TO NZ BACK IN 1890 YEP 1890. HOWEVER SOME MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY MIGRATED TO THE USA MAINLY BACK IN THE 1960s AND SINCE THERE HAS BEEN A SLOW BUT STEADY STREAM OF MIGRATION INTO THE USA IN THE 1970s THE 1980s AND THE 1990s (ALL KIWIs). THEN AGAIN SOME HAVE MIGRATED TO AUSTRALIA. WE SHY AWAY FROM ENGLAND. WE STILL HAVE FAMILY IN INDIA. AND THOSE WHO MANY MOONS AGO MIGRATED DIRECT FROM INDIA TO ENGLAND AND AFRICA. LATER, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS THOSE IN AFRICA ENDED UP IN NZ OR THE USA OR ENGLAND.

ENGLISH IS THE NATIONAL LANGUAGE

NOW YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE A DESIRE TO LEARN TO SPEAK INDIAN!

A KIWI IS ANOTHER NAME OF SOMEONE WHO IS NEW ZEALANDER IRRESPECTIVE OF RACE

AS FOR THE STRANGE LANGUAGE SUCH AS KIA ORA WELL THERES A FEW WORDS AND PHRASES I KNOW OF THE MAORI LANGUAGE AND THATS THE EXTENT OF IT.

Currently indians are migrated to NZ by the masses. A huge change for the likes of my family to see so many itchybums around the place. Its good though because now theres all the common Indian customary shops etc.

As for our lifestyle here in NZ well its very unique – nothing like it anywhere else in the world.
