Daadi

'I went to find Daadi,' began Aparna. (p. 10)

Daadi means "grandmother" in Urdu.

The above references differentiate between Urdu and Roman Urdu. I was curious what the difference was. A quick web search revealed that Roman Urdu is the name by which people refer to the Urdu language written in the Roman alphabet. Roman Urdu is commonly used on the internet due to limitations in the technology for using the Urdu script.
