Who's to blame?

hey everyone....
ok i know everyone includes those infinitesmally small number of people who i force to read my blog..
comming to the point...
You know sometimes people dont speak loud enough and we say "Excuse ME..." or "Pardon ME..."
Well what the hell was my fault...? Why do we have to apologise coz the person in front cant speak loudly...Why should I be excused or pardoned?
Why cant we just say "Hey! Thats not loud enough!" or "Nope..Speak louder" ?
Apologising for someone else's mistake is Good Manners?
Its like someone kills your spouse...and you say.." oops..! My Bad! "
Riddiculous isn't it?
Think 'bout it...

Ma-err-athi?



Oh no!! You're not dyslexic..!
I'm Sure you could read it (im speaking to devnagari literates)
But the way and the pace at which you read it....Well thats the way someone i know speaks marathi!!

Oh how could the question "Who is it?" arise in your head...as from my previous posts you should have a general idea of who i LOVE making fun of :P

I'll spill the suspense...Its my "sister"...

Well i don't know why...but suddenly...my sis came to me and said she wants to speak marathi fluently..
I said..(after laughing my guts out!) "yah, give it a shot!"
after all who doesn't want some "more" humor in life?

so we started our so-called "Marathi Chat" (oh...even thinking about it gets me rolling on the floor laughing)
hmm...heres how the converstation goes...
Akka:Hey aamhi marathi madhye...oops...marathi-uhh...
Me:Marathit ?
Akka:Marathit bolu ya?
Me:Hmm..bol kay bolaych ahe tula?
Akka:Kahi nahi ga..Actually mala marathi bol..uh...
Me:Bolayala
Akka:ya..bolayala shikaych ahe..
Me:Asa achanak?
Akka:Arrey, tase khoop
reasons ahe...
Me:
Reasons?? karana?
Akka:Ho...Khoop Karana ahe..kay ahe naa..mala marathi vachayala yeta...samajayala yeta...pan
fluently bolaayla yet nahi...
Me:Hmm....mag atta ka shikaych ahe tula? Tula marathi bolnyachi kay garaj ahe?
Akka:Asach(thats konkani-marthi word for the marathi word Sahaj)
Me:hmm...
Akka:Mala
basically marathi barobar bolaych ahe...
(oh you can talk to languages too?? :O )
Me:oh mhanje mulat tula marathi neet bolaych ahe..
Akka:Ho..tech...

And the converstation went on...for about 10 mins after which i couldnt stand her stammer...and left the room...not coz i was angry or frustrated...but to tell everyone about this amazing chat...
You might not find it funny enough but if you were in my shoes you would have laughed until your stomach n cheeks hurt...

Ok...now i gotta go...after posting this one...
