Very short post...just for me to read and laugh again a few months later :)
The man is funny, gotta give him that. Poor guy had been in a conference call for over 2 hours with some gora guy. Finally phone patak ke uth ke bhaaga, mumbling...subah se angrezi bol bol ke munh tedha ho gaya.
I was in splits immediately,
M(e): kya ho gaya bhai?
S: Yaar, Bill se meeting chal rahi thi
** This Bill is on the east coast and is leaving the company, so S has to get as much info from him as possible...on the phone.
M: Yeah, and you can't even tell him we'll do this later, jaa raha hai to.
Another guy K walks by,
K: S bhai, main notice kar raha hoon, jisse bhi aap angrezi bolte hain, woh company chhod ke bhaag jaata hai
S: Haan yaar, woh log jhel nahi paate. Aaj to maine hi bol diya, bass, ho gaya, mera aaj ka angrezi quota khatam ho gaya.
Then we all went to lunch with a few other folks. The topic came up again.
M: Hey, do you know where Bill is going?
S: No, he didn't mention that he was leaving, so I didn't ask...
M: Ok, now don't talk to him again, nahi to nayi company bhi chhod ke chala jayega.
B is sitting next to me, and asks whats all this about. I tell him. B refuses to talk to S anymore :) But we all manage to convince him that its ok, as long as he is not talking to him in English, he is safe. We pulled S' leg some more, asking him what exactly he said to everyone that they got so scared and left.
Ok, this was a very random conversation, total nonsense, but he had me in splits :) Good fun!
There was a lot more things that were said...but I can't remember them anymore.
Non-hindi speaking folks...can't really effectively translate this. sorry :(
Sigh, everything said and done, we all miss our own language, don't we. I miss speaking Gujarati so much, since hubby doesn't understand it much.
UPDATE: This day is just getting better.
There is another S, lets call him Su.
Su: So, did you hear of the latest internationalization bug in B's app?
S: What, the bug is that the app is not working?
Su: No, no, its working...
M(interrupting): So the bug is that the app is working?
Su: No, no (totally unperturbed by my interruption) it is working. But when B German language select karta hai, usko dhikhta hai Bhojpuri!

And why doesn't your hubby don't speak Gujarati.. non-Gujju Che? (if you don't mind me asking!)
@neeku yep, we took it even further. Will update the post with it :)
My husband's from Bihar. So no gujrati. My sister gave him a book which claimed to teach Gujrati in 30 days. I attempted to teach him, but it was SO badly written, I was reading it, and laughing and laughing, and he's sitting there and pouting, but your just laughing, not teaching me. I should probably write a post abt the contents of that book!
lol

the whole episode is hilarious.. good that u hv this kind of stressbusters around :-D
ROFL!! this was fun!
i had a good laugh reading this...and now ppl around think im crazy because im still grinning at the pc screen :p
@sourish 5am tak kya ho raha tha? Were you sleep-blogging ;) Its a fun place where I work, roz aisa hi scene hota hai. sometimes I get bugged (usually when I have not had my 8 hrs of sleep) but otherwise, I am SO thankful and grateful for my colleagues!
budday coming up next month. what abt you? kab hai?
@ana(mika) enu bicharanu boli boli monh vaanku thai gayu, kyaaaarno bol bol bol bol karto 'to :) We asked him (remember the previous post where I mentioned he hardly lets anyone speak), kaun kitna bola, kehta hai, oh we both talked and talked, no one listened, haha :)
@samby, xh, yep :) yehi scena hai roz ka in my office. very cool place :)
@pri :) haso, haso, dil khol ke haso :)
Your posts well justifies the title of your blog..talk talk talk n keep tracking of it. Ahh I know only Hindi n English noting more. So poori post samajh mein aa gayi.
the last one is the BEST
u r sucha cutie to ask that
***M(interrupting): So the bug is that the app is working?
bhojpuri??????
OMG!! seriously!!!!!!
bhogpuri aur German...totally...hilarrrrrious!
hahah
you do have lots of dilberts around - how about starting a cartoon series - S ne Su thayu...
Like Neeku mentioned - mane pan gujju ma waat karva koi adchan nathi....
I listen to dandiya n sing them to speak gujju sometimes :)
BTW - this was short but hilarious post
Oh boy !!
This was hillarious..ha ha !!
Creepy guys often have the knack of getting funny too..he he !!
A collegue of mine is Bihari, and nobody at office understands his Hindi, except me....and he aint that good with his english, so most of the time I end up being his interpreter when he's talking to other collegues. Yesterday someone asked me, how come you understand him so well....I said, 'padosi hain na...so its easy...lol !'
@Ella Arey, he speaks impeccable english, and awesome Hindi. He was just being funny :)
@ mez...yeah, I guess...I guess I talkalot :)
@ceedy Good comparison, evuj chhe, this was like a very normal day here. I write to my sisters every now and then in gujju, but writing's not the same as speaking ne. And i have this very weird thing, that I can speak only to my family in Gujarati, if anyone else talks Gujarati (like you, Neeku and Ana did), my natural instinct is to respond in English (like I am doing now)! Strange! :)
hahhaa...this was funny! u have entertaining guys at work..damn cool. @ my work place tho all goras and a few ABCDs..so not much "desi" conversation happens!
u know when i was in college, i had a whole bunch of north indian guys for classmates..i just had to utter a word in hindi and they would start taking my trip!See, i know enuf hindi to u'stand ur post completely and respond in broken hindi!Anywez I would speak in worse hindi (my hindi is just okay/bad)so they could have their daily dose of laughs! some of 'em yet tease me!
PS: Me a bangalorean(south indian of crse)
