Hindi term or phrase: KABI YAD KAR LIYA KARO MA ITNEY BURI HU

I would appreciate help with this. I have a friend who has this annoying habit of putting bits of her texts/ emails in hindi, annoying because I don't speak it, unfortunately. doing the same ( but in spanish) to her hasn't made any difference. Some of these things have turned out to be quite profound, so I would appreciate very much an idea of what she's trying to say.

thanks

Think of me some time, am i that bad?

Explanation:
The sentence in Hindi would make more sense if it had a question mark after "hu" or "kya" after "hu". "Kya" signifies "am I"? in this context. This type of sentence is normally used amongst friends or intimate relations.

do ask for me now and then, I am not that bad

Explanation:
I feel the Hindi expression is not complete. I feel it should have been something as follows. "Kabi yad kar liya karo, mai ithni buri tho nahin hun".

In Hindi if a person, say by name of Malhothra, were to ask for me and conveys this to a third person, this third person, when he comes my side would say something like, "Hello Raghavan, Malhothra aap ki yas kar rahe the".

Please see whether this translation suits your context.
