Idhar pada thaa

My colleague came to my cabin. There was a greeting card kept there which he picked up and read and then commented on the nice quote found in that card. He just started the conversation praising the quote "mind is like a parachute, it works when it is open". He remarked that the saying was very true. Since, I had not noticed that he read the quote from the card, I asked him where he read it.

He answered "Idhar pada thaa and I read it" (it was lying there and I read it).

I said "Haan, idhar pada thaa" (yes you read it here")
