Ok, I have the basics of what you shared. I confused on some of what you wrote. I think you are saying that what I learned from the Bahadurs was in essence what you learned from your relative. It is a sign of respect and affection in that family.
First of all, the called Dinesh, Dineshada. I have not found that at all.
Or, his nick name, Misterada. I was told it was for men, but that has not proven true outside of this family. They mostly spoke Hindi and Urdu and English.
Aap is you. Aap kaisee hai How are you. You come first.

Dada,
When I saw one of my relatives, an elderly gentleman, calling his Son Aap I was surprised. He would call all his youngesters by Aap and then one day my wife poined out that we should also address our children and even other youngesters with Aap and add Ji with their name. The reason behind this is even if you speak in animated tones it brings back the replies also starting with Aap and ending with Ji. That is purely the reason.
Secondly our Late Playback Singer Mukesh used to call Lata Mangeshkar as Didi. His son asked his dad why did he call Lataji as Didi since she was much younger to Mukesh. Mukeshji said that even though Lataji is younger to me in age she is much superior to me in singing and hence as a respect of her talents I call her Didi.

Ji is yes as well as the sign of respect.
I'm confused.
Thank you for this conversation. I love this!!.

thank u very much , mr ranjan , and pravin for your fine explanations U both have giiven nice answer to my friend torbi , and as i considered her my true and best friend i asked her to call me without that Kethu tail as u have asked me to do so, in my previous posts.
through this discussions we have made or given incite into ( tourbi and others of this forum , who are from different culture ) the customs , rithi revaaj of our nation . this gives me pleasure . I feel i have acted as an instrument to some extent to bring our reethi rivaaj beter known to the people who belong to the other parts of the globe.
I expect reply from my friend TOUrbi . and i thank MR pravin and mr ranjan for the help they have rendered to me in reducing my work . Now i have curtailed my explanations regarding this ji matter , as i know , u both are capable persons than me and you both are senior to me in knowledge wise as well agewise, i feel , u have given apt reply , so let me stop this matter here .
Sorry ranjan , again i added MR instead of ji to your name , as pravinji has quoted about Latha didi's husband , my heart is also not allowing me to call u Ranjan, because you are senior and a great man ( your knowledge and wisdom proves that .)
So i wish tourbi , mr ranajan and mr pravin to call me without sufix or prefix . But at the same time , i wish to call pravin and ranjan with Mr and not ji .I wish to call tourbi , without ji , as i find more intimacy towards her though she is also elder to me both knowldgewise and agewise ., one more reason is we both are ladies, i always used to give respects to male members , this is taught by my parents, after marriage i used to add ji to all elders, and i wish to say u , till todayl,after 24 years of our marraige i could not call my husband by his name , as the girls of modern age ie this decade. I have seen my younger sister and my co-sisters calling their husband by their names.
with warm regards
prasanna

There is another aspect to this Aap and Tu and Tum. While travelling in U.P. State of our country, I was in Gorakhpur station. I addressed the person at the inquiry counter with Tum and the person came running to have a fight with me. I was surprised. Subsequently I came to know that persons coming from nearby villages expect them to be called by AAP rather than Tum or Tu as they feel insulted. However to call your near and dear ones lovingly and talking with them in a friendly atmosphere Tu and Tum are really sweet words.

RE: Torbi in India we normally call Senior Respected person as Dada and this is more prevalent in Bengal and Assam (all the 7 States in the North East). This is again a sign of respect but it gives me pleasure to address them as Dada. Dada means someone elder to you either in age or knowledge or respect.
