| John: The expression starts with the word… |
| Shakti: bacpaN |
| John: which means “childhood.” Then, we have… |
| Shakti: iTNe Saalon baaD |
| John: This is a common phrase which means “after so many years.” It’s used as an exclamatory phrase. Listen again - "childhood sweets after so many years" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) बचपन के स्वीट्स इतने सालों बाद! (bacpaN ke SwiitS iTNe Saalon baaD!) (REGULAR) बचपन के स्वीट्स इतने सालों बाद! (bacpaN ke SwiitS iTNe Saalon baaD!) |
