"English is a Funny language!" That is a famous Filmi dialog, delivered in a funny manner by none other than our all time super star Amitabh Bachchan. A collection of some interesting puns was forwarded by my friend Vedamoorthy. I have put a bit of explanation in bracket, not to kill the fun, but to make it easier to appreciate for those, me included, who might need some brushing up of English language. ... and also to get a bit of satisfaction of having added some value.
