This so called "Sophisticated Lady", was really struggling to speak in English, I have heard her speaking Telugu while selecting the clothes and at the billing counter she was pretending as if she cannot frame a word of Telugu.
I am wondering what is her whole idea of speaking in butler English, is she afraid to accept that she is a south Indian? or she thinks people who speak English are only accepted by society? But what ever it may be, i can't stop adoring her for her confidence to speak in such English before many and making herself a fool.
In this era of globalization,We all are so confused in adopting the foreign language, we need to know English language but it is not insulting factor if you communicate in your mother tongue.
Though we dress up in western style, doesn't mean we need to have fake attitudes.
Fellas!!! Stop using unnecessary accents which really put a mask on you.
Try to be yourself.. Being yourself, makes you look more confident.
Last but not the least, you are born in India, be proud of it, don't act as if you are from USA or UK.
Love your Mother Tongue, after all it is your first ever language learnt in your life.

DeleteCoz English is becoming the language of class, if you don't then you are not very up class.
ReplyDeleteLet be honest this only effects the people who discriminate people on their status....
well it is fact, but in search of status or for looking cool once should not make fool of themselves. Moreover, status was never built based on Language.

ReplyDeleteAhh! Kick those pseudo people's a**! Giving accommodation should not mean you vacate the place! People should understand this. High time!
ReplyDeleteI pretty much deal with situations hearing manglish, thanglish and hinglish and telglish.. But my profn doesn't let me critically analyse it. When you keep listening to them you get used to it and I'm de-sensitized.
