English Bloopers!
I definitely don't think my english is bad, but every now and then I will say something inappropriate to the occasion, and hence there is this conscious effort on my part to reduce the blooper blunders.
One that I remember right now is...
- "A few days back,..."
Back is supposed to refer to position and NOT TIME!! So the correct english is "a few days ago" sheesh!
- "Nice meeting you.." when the Senior Manager told me that we'd be in touch.
Hah.. Such a bad response! Even though the syntax is correct, my logic isn't! This was the second time I was meeting her and I knew I would be emailing her some materials, so it would have been more appropriate to say some other generic greeting like "Have a nice day, talk to you later". Bah, Baloney again!!
- More of these faux-pases when I remember them... Right now, I am just glad to get off work on a Friday! :)
रब ने बना दी जोड़ी ??
Do you believe in soulmates? In finding the one who was made for you? Do you think marriages are made in heaven? What is your take on the arranged marriage gig for Indian families?
Along with these questions, I also have some news for you. Are you ready to get shocked? If you are, then you should know that I just found my match. The families have decided to have an engagement ceremony as soon as they can settle on a good muharat. Only time will tell if I found a soul-mate, but I definitely think I found a highly compatible match, which was surprising given their rare nature imposed by my family's requirements.
