RE: Billions and Billions

Yep! :)

100,000 = 1 Lakh

1,000,000 = 10 Lakh

10,000,000 = 1 Crore

Now the slangs: 1 lakh is also 1 peti (typically in Mumbai underworld)

1 crore is also 1 khoka … same in the Mumbai underworld. But both terms now is widely used in urban educated circles as “cool” .. like jailhouse fashion! ;)

Get it? :)

Haha jailhouse fashion. I suppose that's common everywhere.

Perfectly clear 😃
