Tongue of Slip….*oops* I meant Slip of Tongue

Have you ever wonder what we Indians *majority of us* have done to English!! Be it mispronunciation or using wrong sentences we are surely taking revenge against the British Raj on our country.

I am not complaining against it as these slips lead to rather unintentionally funny moments in our life. Lemme dedicate this blog to those funny moments in our life.

I always have problems in getting the pronunciations right for few words, especially the ones with Silent alphabet. Ever wondered why Psychology or Psychiatrist is written in this particular way only, or why 'Knight' and 'Night' two different words with different meaning and spelling are pronounced in a same way?  Like in the words of our great Monisha Sarabhai "Why waste an alphabet, aise hi?"

My sister's classmate * a typical North Indian* has a special skill for

mispronunciation, he pronounced 'Budget' as 'Bood-get' and 'Future' as 'Fatoorey'. This reminds me of an hindi movie dialogue * I dnt remember the film*  "if TO is to, DO is do and why is GO not ..."

To talk of Slip of tongues made by us, there are quite a few real life experiences. 

My favourite ones are: 

One of our Professor was explaining a topic in Behavioral Dynamics. He was explaining a human following the 'i scratch your back and you scratch mine' part. When asked by a GIRL student to give an example of the same, our dear prof. ends up saying "I will remove your pants and you will remove mine" *yes, he said dat to a girl in front of whole class*

Another incident that comes to my mind is with another prof. explaining cultures of different countries. Of all the places in the world he selects Chile and Peru. Being a South Indian, he pronounced Chile as 'Chilly' and Peru as the fruit "Peru- Guava".         I *half asleep* confidently gave an example of Mango!!!!!! My prof got really angry with this and took my case asking whether i think that he is making a fruit salad.

South Indian Accent reminds me of my Science Teacher who would pronounce 'Z' as 'eezat' and 'M' 'N' in a similar fashion. I once wrote 'Volume' as 'Ohlium' when she was dictating notes.

I, being a pakka Bhartiya and a woman, have a habit of clarifying everything in detail. So when i placed an order at our Jai Sandwich wala i went on something like "Ek SMALL cheese grilled snadwich, Chhota Haan" *yes i wanted everything explained crystal clear*

Will end this blog with an sms sent by South Indian friend, emphasizing on the South Indian art of using words in their own way: 

A Mallu aunty went for an interview, the interviewer asked her to use words Black, Green, Pink, Blue, and Purple in a sentence. Our lady from the land of Rajnikant's Karmbhoomi says:

*try reading this in Mallu accent*

"The phone went GREEN GREEN, i PINKED it up and said BLUE speaking? Simply PURPELLY giving BLACK call and i kept the receiver" The interviewer faints.

So keep the tradition of:

 “Bretis destraoed avar kantry far 150 ears, late us destraoe theare language farever. Pleej farvard dhese messaaje tu aal Indians. Eye lav mayi kantry”.

I will give you a peace of mind!!!

Hello,

I hope everything is going well in your life.

There had been so many things on my mind, so many ideas that I thought of writing about. But when I actually sat down to write everything vanished.

Oh! How I wish these techies could invent some new gadgets which helps us to write/record the moment we think about it. My life would have been much easier given my Ghajni memory.

Today I will be giving you some peace of mind *does it sounds boring*. The main reason for this blog is one of my dear friends.

A friend of mine always seems to be Sick of his life, cursing everything and anything that comes his way, blaming others for spoiling his life * believe me his life is not bad even in a minute way, that’s what I can see*.

How many of us wish for many things out there more emotions, wishing is not bad but brooding over it and spoiling the present is BAD… this reminds me of a beautiful saying

 “‎When you compare yourself with others in matters of wealth, position, and health, you should look at people less favored than yourself. When you compare yourself with others in matters of religion, knowledge and virtue, look at people who are better than yourself."

 

 

I had have always believed in power of Positive thinking *yea right, you can raise your eyebrows over it*

I have experienced many a times that whatever I think continuously over a period of time comes to be true. Maybe it is because the Almighty grants our any wish once in a day *my Mom always told me that* or maybe because that the thought is so imprinted on our brains that we tend to act in that particular way. *I know it’s confusing*

So if you think positively however bad the situation maybe you will be able to see its positive side and try to overcome it with new hopes in you.

Smile, even if your day is bad, your life has gone for a toss. Smile, because it helps you feel good and makes other also feel good *why make others carry your piggyback of pain and sorrows*.

Help atleast one person and this gives you the feeling of being content, happy and Important *yea now you know why I help others*.

And last but not the least, Thank the Almighty for giving you this life, parents, friends and etc…

If you feel your situation is bad, thank God that it’s only Bad it could have been worse. If you are not keeping well *most of the time I am in this category* Thank Almighty for the chances that you will recover and giving you sources to pay for your medicines, and doctor’s bill.

I know that this Gyan have been given to you earlier by many ppl like Baba, our celebrities *yup, now they will tell us what to do*, socialist……etc… and now add me to that list.

But how many of us actually follow it?

The problem is not in Not Knowing but it is in Not Doing. So my friends I request you to start trying it. It would be difficult first *coz we are so used to brooding over things, our cancerous brain* but believe me after those initial problem it will not be difficult.

Till my next blog

Cya,

Welcoming Me!!!!

Well finally I am here.

I have been contemplating with the idea of blogging! But a friend (Aamir) told me that I should because its the best way to express my thoughts.

Ma Fil Des Pensées... one of the reason i chose the word Pensées is because it sound similar to Pensive...The Stone Pensive from Harry Potter....it is simply perfect because like the one in the book *i did not like the movie much* this one will allow the readers to know whats going in my mind *no Edward Cullen needed here*....

Till my next blog, 

Cya........
