Its going to be really tough to update my own blog with any real sense of satisfaction.<BR/>One of my Tam batchmates from Erode, admitted during his ragging ordeal that "Bhains" meant money. So there he was giving a speech on 'money' in Hindi which went like,<BR/>"Hum sab Bhains kamane aaya hai" <BR/>and <BR/>"Sabko bhains milna hai"...<BR/>Yup.

To appreciate it one would have to actually end up learning all the rest of the languages.<BR/><BR/>Just like we go to our house but we never go to our home but simply go home. Why? Find out from the English, or the saxons or the greeks or the latins.<BR/><BR/>Well, there was a similar article at school by a padre who doubled as a school teacher on English. And he analysed the nuances of the English language with an apaling humour! Kudos to you who has struggled and mastered a language not closely associated with the mother tongue and have the spirit left to site off the nitty-gritties.

They know only English and Hindi, and it's absolutely hilarious listening to them pronounce even a single Tam or Mally word. Whereas, we southies know English, mother tongue (Tam/ Mallu/ Gult) and can manage to convey meaning in a HIndi conversation. The northies actually have it real easy. We ought to be proud of ourselves, instead of feeling bad that we atleast attempt to learn a new language- they don't even try!Sridevihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039993878910410034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902396.post-1137131704666889342006-01-13T11:25:00.000+05:302006-01-13T11:25:00.000+05:30Awesome post man.Really Booker prize material.:-)-...Awesome post man.<BR/>Really Booker prize material.<BR/>:-)<BR/><BR/>-Manoj.Manoj Pillaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01218644987161743811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902396.post-1136869339881011322006-01-10T10:32:00.000+05:302006-01-10T10:32:00.000+05:30n' my here's my contrib to the blooper list: i wen...n' my here's my contrib to the blooper list: i went one beyond the sade ek phenomenon. a guy asked me "time kya hai?" n' i replied, "ded baje ho gaya" n' the frustrating tittering.. but he had the sense to correct me "ded baj gaye/gaya/gayi..." :-oAslanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03049266073181850129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902396.post-1136868814174866612006-01-10T10:23:00.000+05:302006-01-10T10:23:00.000+05:30pure genius d00d. talk abt bein' the voice of the ...pure genius d00d. talk abt bein' the voice of the public. i'm sure any true blue mallu who studied in an REC can relate perfectly to this.. i for one can. thank god all this happened back in college. 4 yrs there didn't further my technical knowledge, but it sure gave me what 8 yrs of CBSE (course A) hindi textbooks cudn't. 1st milestone was crossed on 1/1/06 when the guy at the anjuna beach shack asked me "aap mumbai se ho?" - 2nd milestone wud be when i pattafy a northie gal. ;) methinks its high time i embarked on that mission! :pAslanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03049266073181850129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902396.post-1136814459747895742006-01-09T19:17:00.000+05:302006-01-09T19:17:00.000+05:30Use the below link http://flaashgordon.blogspot.co...Use the below link <BR/><BR/>http://flaashgordon.blogspot.com/2005/07/rukavat-ke-liye-khed-hai-soda-kiskkaa.html<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>flaashAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902396.post-1136813889903824882006-01-09T19:08:00.000+05:302006-01-09T19:08:00.000+05:30Sidin Aliyo!Tood good !
