Indianisms

Hey guys!!! Am a brand new member, name's Neha Rajan from Mumbai, India. I am an English language trainer and find lots of students who unknowingly use indianisms like weightage, timings, etc in their language. So I have decide to compile these for everyones benefit. Could you help me with more of such words?
