Kalesh


Kalesh or Klesh is an ancient Hindi and Bengali word which means 'to cause agitation' or 'to cause unrest' by 'devilish' ways. This is often used by the youth in a casual way to signify "mischief". Kalesh is generally accompanied by the word "मचेगा ". Though there are no clear indications about the origin of the word, there have been suggestions that it might have originated from Sanskrit. It is generally used by the older generation in India to cite day to day experiences. For example: हमारी बहू ने हमारे घर में कलेश मचा दिया है | or अब मचेगा कलेश |.
Kalesh has been overused in the Hindi media and in Hindi commercials, sitcoms and serials.
The most popular Kalesh that is encountered is "ग्रेह कलेश".
