nataraja

Shiva's form as the lord of the dance, who, kinda like Atlas, keeps the world going (but instead of lifting it, he dances on it).

Usually shown as a graceful guy in dreads with four arms dancing in a circular ring of fire.
A bronze of Nataraja: don't leave India without one.

Super Dollfie

A line of classy 22"-tall ball-jointed resin "doll figures" made by Volks in Japan. Come in versions made either to resemble ten-year-olds or thirteen-year-olds.

"SD" for short.
Some SDs can be prohibitively expensive.

If you're addicted to SDs, stay off Yahoo! Japan.

mehndi

1. Art of painting an herbal henna paste on the body in intricate designs (as the paste sets, it temporarily dyes the skin underneath a shade of orange or red). Sometimes called a "henna tattoo."
2. This guy Daler's last name.
Mehndi on children's hands is a good way to keep them out of trouble, because they can't touch anything as the paste dries.

i-banker

"After two years as an i-banker, I'll just buy my own island and retire."

Many kids in undergraduate business programs are disillusioned by the thought of doing the i-banking routine when they graduate.

neuroeconomics

Fascinating new field that uses advances in neuroscience and psychology to better understand economic decisionmaking, with the intent of improving contemporary economic models.
Neuroeconomics is the most fascinating incarnations of behavioral economics.

Trying to major in neuroeconomics is hard, because it hasn't been formally done before.

dosa

A very thin, crisp pancake made of finely ground lentils. Think crispy, lightweight, savory crepe.

Often served with chutney, spiced vegetables, and a type of tomato-and-tamarind-based soup.
Dosas are vegetarian.

Let's go to that dosa place for lunch!

When a dosa has a savory filling, it's called a masala dosa.

juggernaut

Variant of "Jagannath," a name for the Hindu deity Krishna. "Juggernaut" is likely a British mispronunciation.

Today, though, a "juggernaut" is generally a force beyond mortal control.
