Linguistic affinity

Shalom!!

Imagine urself stuck in a place where your  understanding abilities are challenged and u always gets defeated again and again, where your participating desires are suppressed  and though being outgoing in nature you cant speak up and  when you are forced to act like dumb .

In our motherland of diversities this is commonplace. I often get stuck in between two Marathi speaking friends and damn my luck…I am forced to be a mute spectator..i wonder sometimes ,are they abusing me . ..what the hell are they talking about …its not only with marathi …Gujrati and south Indian languages also supersede hindi.

You feel like banging ur head to the wall…Few months back I was in Canada  ..and in office I got a seat in the cube with other three corners occupied by ladies…ohh …that was obviously not the problem…

But the problem was that they were Israelis and once they start talking in “Hebrew” ..there was no stopping ..i could just hear one thing …blah blah and  blah …..no offences…..

Even In office when there is discussion over technical issues…marathi people switch to marathi so easily….to add to my woes I can still hear Marathi discussions going on in background…..

MNS is trying to replace every signboard in Maharashtra to display in marathi language. The only advantage I can see from this is that we will be forced to learn a new language and it will add to our resume .Though eventually it wont impact any thing at all.

There are no offences towards any language ,but just the trauma of a person knowing only a single language(apart from English)—HINDI

P.s.  shalom in starting is the way to say hello in Hebrew…….
