2 states (survivor man)
I started writing this when I started listening to song “Lets get it started on” by black eyed peas
This is not about two people from diferent states who fall in love but its all about 2 states I was associated in the span of 7 months. I didn’t want to compare two states but some how situation is so provocative that I am going to compare and try coming out with hilarious conclusions which would just make m e laugh.
I had got placed In Tvs motor hosur ( Tamil Nadu) and it was totally different experience to be with group of people who speak non decipherrable language. I had to go through kind of mixed situation where I didn’t have an idea of, if I learn a new language am I promoting it or just using it for my convenience . I couldn’t give a second thought to it then learning atleast some basic words. I had group of 3 proud tamilians who taught me a lot out of which a lot included slangs .( that’s how a new language is learnt trust me)
Its so accommodating to know the native language, that people from native will immediately back u for no matter what comes ur way . So I learnt it but my conscious was saying, what if I don’t know ur language I am an Indian . later I relaised this wont work (poignant).Priority was always given to people who knew language. In this aspect shiv sensa people are surely doing some meaningless but so called good work by helping people to get job who knew their langauage .As u all know these people chased away people of different states who had come hoping to getjob in railway dept ( marashtra). I feel pathetic. ( hopefully shiv senas are not listening to me ) . If u want some work done in any state then u better learn their native language. I seriously didn’t like it . Well there is also a darker side to this situation.( darker side mentioned in later part).
Let me not bore u with what kind of work I did in tvs but I did do some serious stupid work which I didn’t like doing but so called luck favored me to get another job in Gurgaon ( haryana) EIL.Here I got introduced to people who use slangs so casually that it turned like m listening to eminem’s rap. Didn’t matter much to me because I too knew couple of good hindi slangs . All thanks to my North Indian friends.
The point I want to make through this article is that kind of problem people face when they don’t know the native language. Luciky I went through this only once( that’s in tamilnadu). But here I am stressing upon people who come here from tamilnadu face more problems because they don’t know the language and the inhabitants bluff them very easily .I pity them. Actually people from tamil nadu are deprived of languages other then tamil. How ridiculous?
I have learnt to survive now no matter which state I leave in . I have got an amazing chance to know people other then so called kannadigas. Hehe ( selfish side of me) . but I was just thinking of how can I be helpful .
Do we need some common language to be taught to people of India which would make any Indian to settle down In any part of the country ? why do people lag in sense of belongingness ? we all are Indians. why cant we accept things, culture, attitude and learn to be with people of different kind. I just wonder how Indian militray people co-ordinate (no language barrier) with so many people who serve the nation no matter which part of India is in problem. ( analogy matches partially with situation but thought of puttin it forward because i respect them for numerous reasons).
I came across two kind of people one who will never speak language other then its native one and another one is all set to abuse u first and then start with serious conversation. Funny is’nt it .
Some local people behavior has really put into shivers. Hilarious conclusion was, people from north say these idli sambar people from south (rice eaters) don’t know hindi and are introverts always form groups which includes only people of their kind ( to some extent true) and when u go to south people say u cant trust north indian people they keep bluffing, keep abusing, and speak rude always. I don’t agree with any of these. Because I have plenty of friends from both part of India. I feel its worth to mention here about few of them. First of all raman . he is from Andhra pradesh ( second largest rice producer in India and aslo will one day become second largest rice eater hehe ) helps every one no matter whosoever ( need not be a south indian at all). Other people are neelesh , rohit and alok , as far as I know have never bluffed me or never spoke rudely.
Some times I feel really happy for not having much of kannada friends because otherwise I would have been another jerk who would never try to understand how people from other states feel when they land in other part of countrty.
Lot of ironical situations have come up which I couldn’t really justiy .
I was just imaging how it would be when I knew only kannada , alok knew only hindi raman our andra master and soma only bengali. Oh my gawd. Do u all think we still would have been friends or would have tried joining some association which had group of similar jerks bitching about other language.! Point to be thought.
I don’t understand why every other thing I rite ends up in an emotional note. I just want to be of some use to India because this has given me a lot right from education to job ( ya I am sarkari Man).
Friends sometimes I don’t understand why everything I write ends up In realting u all to the situation. Please help this guy.hehe.
Please find the block holes in this article and help me in improving my writing potential.
