I learnt Hindi (and some Urdu) in Lucknow and hence stuck to the ways of talking that one would find there. Even children are addressed as "aap" and "I" am referred to as "hum" :-)Erotemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677513867884448593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-1161756063849448182006-10-25T11:31:00.000+05:302006-10-25T11:31:00.000+05:30Finally I found time to get back here and read :-)...Finally I found time to get back here and read :-) <BR/><BR/>My trip to Hyderabad this time is wrought with bad memmories. Things I'd keep to myself and take to the grave. Maybe not. Maybe some time in the future write about it. But yes, I liked the scenic beauty of the place. There was so little time and so much to do, and I was in not in a state of mind to admire the place. I will not be going there again. <BR/><BR/>So, Chennai tamil? When I was in Cuddalore I picked up 'dhe' - vaa dhe, podhe, yennadhe ... dropped it as soon as I left boarding school. Madurai, is the city I remember fondly. Though I will not settle there, it taught me Thamizh, the way it should be spoken. And lots more. <BR/><BR/>What I liked best about what you've written is that I can now say with some pride to certain people that there are people in this world who do speak with the auto drivers using 'ji' and its good. I was chastised for being 'good' - My hindi (which is mainly text book and mostly flawed) has just this saving grace that I never use - thum - its always aap - and now I realize its - Urdu!!! Anyways, I always believe in the dignity of labour and in giving respect ... so, its a good feeling knowing there are few more out there who are as nice as u were to a lowly (i dont prefer that word - but it emphasizes some stupid point) auto driver.Loveena Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419914133568382826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-1161249108958544102006-10-19T14:41:00.000+05:302006-10-19T14:41:00.000+05:30Dear P, :-) Glad you liked this...Dear Anon-N...Dear P,<BR/> :-) Glad you liked this...<BR/><BR/>Dear Anon-N,<BR/> Huzoor, aap chaahe aur hum inqaar karen?
