Hindi term or phrase: khush
Hi,

I was not aware of this word, but it does exist, at least according to http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=cushy

Cushy
1915, Anglo-Indian slang, from Hindi khush "pleasant, healthy, happy."

Please could you write it in Devanagari? I’m not sure if it’s with long or short U, amongst other things.

Best wishes,

Simon
