Nobody does spontaneity and vibrancy as the Punjabis do. Animated, bold loud, yet sensitive and sensible, they make for the coolest friends. The carefree, unapologetic and larger-than-life language that Punjabi is, it compliments its people perfectly!

Spoken from the heart, this energetic, vibrant language has all the makings of being one of the funkiest, wackiest ever. The fact that the language is spot-on and leaves no scope for mincing words makes it total gangsta.

So, here’s why the Punjabi language rocks:

1. Punjabi as a language has a life and soul. Even something as mundane as a ‘how are you?’ becomes a melodious ‘ Kidaan ?’
