Do you know of places in or near India?

Question

Ok I live in the USA & yesterday this guy kept asking me if I was Indian or Pakistani. Im not & I had a hard time understanding him. He kept asking if I was from Rissil or rissa something that sound like that, then he said something like Sien (see-en). Then when I couldnt understand him he said India or Pakistan... Are there places around there that sound like this? Just curious.

Answer 1

Look on a map.

Answer 2

He might have been talking about "Orissa", one of the provinces of India in the eastern part of the country.  

As for "Sien", the closest thing I can come up with is "Sindh," the most populous province of Pakistan, located in the south of the country.  Sindh is where Pakistan's largest city, Karachi, is located.

Answer 3

He wasn't saying "missile" was he?

Answer 4

hmmm.. :)

i know a place in India called Ranchi .. no idea about Sien!
