Notes and TriviaEdit

Ranjit is known for saying "Hello" in a cheery manner.
First meets Robin in The Limo.
Marshall Manesh was born in Iran.
Ranjit is supposed to be from Bangladesh, and therefore speak [Bengali. However in the episodes The Goat and Rabbit or Duck, he speaks in Farsi.
In The Goat, he yelled at Barney after overhearing that Barney had slept with Robin. His rant, in transliterated Persian, was "na mard, na looti, na rafigh; akhe age oon doost dokhtare man bood ke..." Roughly translated, this means: "Inhuman, traitor, non-friend; if she was my ex-girlfriend, I would put my hands around your neck . . ."
In Rabbit or Duck, he said - "Morrghabe mitoune shena kone, morrghabe mitoune ghadam bezane, morrghabe mitouneh parvaz kone, baba az in heyvoune badbakht chi mikhay?" which translated means: "Ducks can swim, ducks can walk, ducks can fly, dude what more can you ask from this poor animal?"
