About Us

Pakka Nimbu is professional, non-amateur person. Pakka means solid in Hindi. Nimbu is lemon - a small ingredient in the grand scheme of things!

Pakka Nimbu is opposite of Kachha Nimbu. Then, what is Kachha Nimbu?

Kaccha Nimbu is a concept. Kaccha Nimbu literally means unripe lime - its a term used to refer a kid who either because of age or because of physical injury can not play a sport with other kids on equal terms. Say for example, you got a sprained ankle, but you still want to play dodge ball with your friends, so you take part in the game as a 'Kaccha Nimbu', or theres a kid who is too small to play, small in age, small in his body frame - but the kid still wants to play - and everyone else is big, then you let the kid play as a 'Kaccha Nimbu'.

Being a 'Kaccha Nimbu' offers delightful privileges; if you are playing cricket and you get 'Out' you can still bat one more time, if you are playing carrom, you can place your striker any where on the board and hit anything you want, you can even drag the queen piece into your favorite pocket and no one will say anything - "He's kaccha nimbu re!"

Simply, the term Kachha Nimbu means amateur. Pakka Nimbu is hence non-amateur, i.e. professional. Pakka means solid in Hindi.
