Now days i am busy with my project work as the deadline is near and on the top i got a bug of previous release to fixup.Yesteday, i stayed with my boss till late night to resolve the issue...thanks god (i mean boss) it was done...really my boss is a cool chap,god bless him..will surely dedicate a special post for him...but when??..dont know..let me find a day when i will be in full flow to write.. and whts so special abt him???.. about his gr8 thoughts and brighter life style..though simplicity is the best thing in him(does that mean no darker side..have but in patches..that is not visible).
I have a number of post pending to write upon like on my frnd circle,team mates,roommates..etc etc...lets see,when they come up!!!
Oops..this is not what i want to write in todays post....its about the communication we have at our home with land lords(this is also a post which i was not able to write down though always busy,i have started hating this word busy :-) ).
The house in which i stay is big enough that there are total 4 tenants along with landlord family.There is bengali family(my frnds family),another is muslim family ,3rd one dont know exactly,as it keep swapping,i think mostly south indian ppl and last but not the least,WE(it consist of mixture of india, all are my college frnds-- one from AP, other from east, me from north and one is from middle india and we are looking for a guy from east(joking)..how abt a gal??..kidding)..actually 3 of us own the flat,4th one is here for job search.
Now our landlord is south indian,not able to communicate in hindi but i think they can understand it to very little extend..now guess how we communicate.Thats wonder man...i always see my frnds muma talking to landlord aunt in hindi with bengali tinge..and wht she gets in reply is telgu words..and they both keep chatting, but how come they understand,its strange for me.Same is the case with my uncle and landlord..uncle speaks english and landlord ofcourse replies back in telgu..somehow it goes all well.
For me,if i want to talk to my landlords i look for there childrens as they know english well..but if they are not there then i have to manage with face expressions,actions,broken words and pointing to objects in case if i need to refer to it in my speech...suprisingly that works gr8..And if any how i am not able to understand,then i have only option to grin and leave from there..or just node on wht ever they spoke(that can cause me in trouble some day)
Cannot hold back our experience with telgu cook...in intial stages we have really hard time to communicate to her wht we want in dinner...if we ask for egg fry she just boils the eggs and leave arnd..if we ask her to make dal and brinjal sabji then we will get a mixture of dal and brinjal instead of seperate integrents....and if u want to tell the counts of roti ..then our hindi counts never worked..we used fingers and tried the trick of bringing hands back and fourth to tell total counts in no of 10's...but it didnt worked and result was just 10 ..i got the bug..i should have raise my hands then bring them down and repeat it again..this works man....when ever we asked for less spicy food..we got more spicy each day..the only solution for us was,not to bring mirchi from market..if no mirchi,then wht she will put to make it spicy..we escaped...it became smoother after few weeks as she and we had developed a set of action and words to communicate our needs....but now days we miss her as she is on leave and gone home...we ourself cook food..thanks god i learn a lot of cooking though,the credit goes to my mother as she always taught me tits and bits of every thing..luv u mom.
Really language is not important..as it is man made stuff..but understanding counts a lot in life..really human mind is biggest creation of god..i mean the whole body it self.
One thing i will like to admit, that people in south are cool, co-operative and calm(leave the exceptions always..as bugs are always left..even in god creation).
The word bug remindeds me of a nice thing which my collegue told...if bugs are not created by us(development team) then wht abt QA and testing team, they will loose their job:-)
