For most of the mental ones Mayana, they'll tell you Meergi ya peeryaan lari and for the others, they'll say, bewakhta zarhekh pe raaghelay dai.

(I talk from experience)

LOOL I have this relative who.. no matter what is wrong with you.. will tell you " Noo di watalay day." (your belly button is out..?)

My cousin was diagnosed with anemia - 'Noo yeh watalay wu'
I had a bronchitis - 'Noo mi watalay wu'
I had a migraine - 'Noo mi watalay wu'

Til this day I haven't figured out what it means.

[*Mahzala*]

ahahaha! Nu watel err ... freaky stuff ... a girl about twelve years younger than me in my sister's in laws once told me that when I lifted a chair at her house. And she is like: Za Khala Jaan (my mother) ta me prewuza che beirta ye derta pezai ki. I was shocked to bits. She was so young, but man, she was speaking too much for her age. If she was related to me a bit closely, I would have whacked her and put her in her shoes.
