ok...tata...bye

Made an interesting discovery a few days back. Was discussing with a belgian guy about the Tatas. Instinctively, I told him that we use tata in India to mean bye.

Later it came to me that it is a contribution of the trucks to our lingo. Almost, all the trucks have the logo of 'Tata' with 'ok' and 'bye' written on left and right of it, respectively. This has made the word 'tata' synonymous with bye!!

Amazing how languages grow.
