Vijay’s classic GIFs 2007-2011 – 197

 

A Ratedesi Forum user, whose screen name I unfortunately can’t remember, holding up a series of handwritten signs. In Hindi she asks “Yeh ilu ilu kya hai?”, which means “What is this ‘ilu ilu’? – ilu is actually shorthand for “I love you”.

Get in the van, no time to explain

 

A small scene from a piece of news footage from India’s Aaj Tak news channel, which broadcasts in the Hindi language. In this GIF, the first I’ve made using the new ‘ScreenToGif’ software, a van owned by the Indian Bank pulls up at a security checkpoint.

Janmashtami 2015 – 1

 

Gifville would like to wish everyone a very happy Janmashthami.

This is a Hindi-language GIF from a popular Indian text messages and poetry site, with the words “Shubh Janmashtami” (Happy Janmashtami) in flashing 3D letters and an image of Lord Krishna all regaled and playing the flute on a leaf. Very beautiful.
