Hindi from Bollywood A family affair

Indian culture, Diana has made concerted efforts with her Hindi proficiency.

“I know now that each character in Hindi has a different sound, and some of these sounds don’t exist in the English language,” she observed. “I still struggle with certain sounds such as the ‘gh’ in ‘ghar’. So I’ll say it as ‘grr’! I would just go forwards and backwards with it when I was learning!”

Although this has improved, she disclosed that there are “still some sounds” that trip her up.

“If I say it fast and mumble, then it’s okay!” she laughed.

Despite not being fluent in Hindi, when in the “right frame of mind” Diana is able to have full conversations, however other days she struggles to “get out one word.”

“I hope my young daughter Zara will be able to learn Hindi as she gets older, although it's currently a completely foreign language to her.”

Originating from the Persian word Hind, meaning ‘land of the Indus River’, Hindi is spoken by an estimated 425 million people as a native language, according to the BBC. However, through family, migration and admiration for the language, approximately 120 million people now speak Hindi as a second language.

Tejinder Kaur invested in the Sparkling White Smile Ellenbrook franchise after following the journey of Sparkling White Smile founder, Alison Egan. Tejinder, who is a qualified nurse was first introduced to the mobile teeth whitening service after reading an online news story about Alison, who was also studying nursing when she dreamt up the idea for Sparkling White Smile.

“I was really inspired by the success of Alison, after learning she had a similar career background to myself. I began following Sparkling White Smile on Instagram and after seeing the technicians out on the road, meeting new clients, offering them an amazing service and having so much fun whilst doing it, I knew I had to be part of it” Tejinder said.

Tejinder has been able to tailor her offering to best service her community, as the only Western Australian Sparkling White Smile franchisee who is fluent in Punjabi, Hindi and English.

While dentists work with 30% peroxide solutions, Tejinder uses 6% peroxide, offering a much healthier solution to cosmetic teeth whitening. Signature treatments are also broken down into 25 minute sessions, meaning teeth sensitivity is little to none in comparison to dentist in-chair whitening. The procedure takes around an hour and a half, with no preparation needed.

“In terms of aftercare, the only rule is no red wine, coffee or anything with artificial/ deep colour. I also always suggest my clients top up every month to keep their smiles sparkling and radiant,” she concluded. Tejinder’s mobile treatments have taken Perth by storm, with no signs of slowing. She offers two signature treatments; The Triple Treatment and The Ultra White Treatment, starting at $300 for single bookings.
