I've just moved to Bangalore and ...Nice post, girl! I've just moved to Bangalore and hate it that I can't speak the language. I cringe everytime I talk to an autowalah. Because I've never been in an Indian city in which I can't speak the local language. I went to kerala over the weekend, and the waiter at a shawarma shop speaks to us in English. And then grins wide and gets us our bill double quick when we answer his, "Anything else, you wand?" in malayalam. <BR/>But about your post, nice. Keep it going.Sandhya Menonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053854810427756673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26685922.post-24608071699871365812007-10-18T19:21:00.000+05:302007-10-18T19:21:00.000+05:30Shruthi: too much I say :) Lets keep talking :)Bik...Shruthi: too much I say :) Lets keep talking :)<BR/>Biker Dude: You sure know your way around :)<BR/>Archer: My full sympathies with you.

Gosh, you and i must have so...Are you for real ???? <BR/><BR/>Gosh, you and i must have some telepathic link... I aint a lady like you but, yes I have faced the same situation.. <BR/><BR/>Walk into to surfing joint and the lady, who till then was rattling away in Kannada to another lady, turns around and speaks to me in English. When I replied to her in Kannada, she gives me that wierd look as if I was an alien, and had landed to invade her joint.<BR/><BR/>Lucky you, you are done with your stint in the Tamil land, whilst I, am currently egging on !!!.. When I hear these folks talk in their tongue, I, for a fleeting second am envious of them... They are so staunchly attached to their language (it has its cons too).<BR/><BR/>I only wish that I could return and live in a city, which is mine and inhabited by us Kannada speaking folks (not being communal, just wishful).<BR/><BR/>Nice post this...<BR/><BR/>Cheers!!!<BR/><BR/>archer...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26685922.post-54556003718310257392007-10-18T12:53:00.000+05:302007-10-18T12:53:00.000+05:30I happily capitalize on the Kannada empathy. The ...I happily capitalize on the Kannada empathy. The auto guy's scowl immediately transforms into a slightly less dour grimace when I speak to him in Kannada. And the boatman in a hippie beach in Gokarna once charged us 20 rupees and the others in the boat 200 rupees because we said "4 ghantege vapassu banni, devasthaanake hogebku". So yeah, it's all good, and you shouldnt be complaining, Ms Mirza :)Bikerdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771686244929650432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26685922.post-34524151483056466392007-10-17T08:19:00.000+05:302007-10-17T08:19:00.000+05:30Identical experiences - Identical.
