Did anyone know that the word "Camera" is derived etymologically from the word "Kamara" (Dark Chamber)?! This might well be the hindi word, however, this link says its derived from Greek... I am not completely sure if the hindi word is derived from greek or vice versa, but then... this indeed sounds interesting... The next time we use a camera, we'll feel more prouder!!

you'll be amazed that so many foreign languages have so many similar words to many of indian languages...
for instance, the french word adore (also used in english) has the same meaning and is pronounced the same way as in bengali!
