Whats your Mother Tongue Beta? Its English, yeah English!
Yes, Our country India is making advances be it Leaps, bounds, Jumps, Crawls, tunneling, what ever means you can think of.But there are certain aspects of our country that one must be proud,one of them is the language. This I Must say.... is just going the other way.
So, I stand in a mobile phone retail store, I stand and watch the numerous phones that are on display, they all look magnificent, look really worth the money that one would be paying for it. considering the economic rise in our country I could definitely vouch that any phone is buy able by any one these days. My friend comes up to me and asks if a certain phone she is holding in her hand is worth the money. A gizmo geek that I am, I am usually the guy people call up for help .. when ever they are buying certain things from the electronic store., Yeah so .. she comes up to me and checks with me if the money is worth that phone and if the features are up-to-date. I take a look at it... its a Samsung something.... .and I do confirm that its one of the best the money could buy-with the features-at that point of time. Boom! and then I hear some kind of a shout from a lady mostly about 28-32 years. She is shouting " Charan, No!! I don't have time for your right now,no Charan I am busy now, do ur thing!
"awaaaaaaaaaaaaaa awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa %%@#%@%@%@%@#%@$%@%#%@#%@%@$%@%@#%%@#$%%&*(*^%*@%@$
%@$%@%@%@%@#%@%@%@%@%$%$#@%@#%#@%@#$%#@%@#%@%@%@%
#@%@#%@#%$@#%%^%&^*&*%^&*" Yeah thats exactly what the kid said! the kid tried to speak to its mother in its mother tongue... and well the mom ignorant of the fact that her kid could hardly comprehend English... went about talking in a foreign language..
Seriously .. nothing against mothers... or the Mother Association of India... ( I better cut short before the International United Abused Mothers by Smart Children Agency take a punch at me), but it goes to the fact that people back in India are losing their core values, Ohh.. ok not to the extent that Bollywood at times turns into the C-Grade Porn production unit where " Wave Stopping, Flower Blooming , Spilling Milk after Boiling means U-KNOW-WHAT". The core values, something that our people are trading for public opinion or public perception about themselves. I mean c'mon from when have the Indian people talked about how you talk to your kid? It only goes to say that people have become selfish to an extent. Frankly, if this lady could not see that her son did not understand 'SHIT' of what she said.. and is trying to talk back to her in his MT(I can write Mother Tongue all the time!) then its imperative that she does realise that and talk to him in the same dilect.
Unfortunately we are not so technologically advanced that we come with in-built interpreters, a thing that we do tend to see a lot often in which aliens are featured. U speak to them in english and they understand its "English"! So... All that kid might need is a Whack. do give that. But yeah .. Do it ... and do it in your Mother Tongue :)
