A Schoolmaster from a remote rural area was transferred to a school in Bombay. He reported for duty two days before August 15 and, as was the practice in the school, was asked to address the assembly on Independence Day.
Here's his dynamite speech : Leddies and Gentulmens,  Contemporaries, Children, "This is my first maiden speech.   If small small mistakes get inside my speech, I ask pardon. Stickly speaking, I wanted to joint your school more fastly, but for the following reason.
Too much time lost in getting slipper reservation in three-tyre compartment. The clerk rejected to give ticket. I put complaint on station master. He said me to go to lady clerk. At first she also rejected. I then pressed her for long time and at last with great difficulty she gave a birth only to my son.
Anyway I thanked the station master because he was responsible for getting birth of my son.
We got independent because of great leaders linke Gandhiji who get outted all angrezi peoples from India. Tilak said Swaraj is our birth-rate and we shall halve it. Today we all halve our birth-rate.
You children are future dynamic generators of the Nation. Look into future time only. No backside looking, or looking at your behind. Be like great like X' raj Ranjan of  Germany or Presidents like Loosebelt.
You know genius, no? It is one per cent perspiration and ninety seven percent evaporation.  They became great by reading great books.  After we finish you here in the school, you can go to college and get B.A., M.A. and other decrease.
Then you can become great liars in the supreme courts, shattered accountants, or leacherers in college.
The school is like a garden. You are the seeds, school is the soil. We will bury you in this soil, pour water of knowledge on your heads and one day will become great pools. Many vacancy job come in newspapers.  Only yesterday I saw in paper "Wanted for refuted engineering firm:
Generators, highpower condensors" so and so forth, etc.  These jobs may be teknickel, but you can rise.
If you have flare in English, you can become teacher.
I am now ending this fastly.  My God blast you!   Thank you and thank God I am finished. Joy Hind!"

Desi in America....!
**
Call, don't ring! ----------------------- I have lived in the US a little over 30 years now, and am thoroughly Americanised in the usage of English. I come across the Indian version from frequent contact with the Indian embassy wallas , Indian students and visitors from India. There are so many differences big and small, in the meaning and pronunciation, in the usage of the same language - English - between Americans and Indians, that it can be amusing and even embarrassing at times. Many moons ago, the first time I went to McDonald I did not know what was meant by the phrase "to go" ( which means to take the food away and not eat there ). The girl at the counter asked me "to go?" and I thought she was asking me to leave! I was upset and retorted " I have come here to eat, why should I go?" It took some explaining on both sides before I could place my order.
Americans are very verbose in saying things, which in themselves are somewhat different from those in India. One almost always says "How are you doing?" when you meet an acquaintance, and the accepted reply is usually "Pretty good" and not just "Fine". The reply to "Thank you" is "You are welcome" and not "Mention not". But if you say thanks to someone like a sales girl, she is more likely to say "Uh-ha". Unlike in India, "Excuse me" deserves an answer like "No problem". When you are about to part, sometimes, you have to play games of getting in the last word. Expressions like "see you later", "have fun" ,"take care", "have a nice weekend", "don't work too hard", come in handy.
I am also reminded about the use of the expression "Really". This is used  to mean "Oh, I see". For example, if somebody asks you where do you work, and you answer "government", pat comes the xclamation "Really!", which a first few times sounds like they do not believe you.
There are a lot of words and phrases which are used differently. A funny example is that an "eraser" is never called a "rubber", because the latter is slang here for a contraceptive! An Indian friend at a restaurant, when asked, if she would like anything more at the end of the meal, answered: "No, I will just take the bill". You should have seen the look on the waiter's face - of course, she should have asked for the check which she could have then paid with a bill(s).
Many American pronunciations are different from the British ones used in India. For instance, one pronounces "schedule" as "skedjule". Also  "coupon" is pronounced as "q-pon". When the "i" is preceded by an"m" or a "t", it is pronounced as "my" and "ty" - for example the words "semi" and "anti". When it is preceded by a "d", unlike in India you do not say it as "die", but as "dee", for example the word "divorce". An elderly Indian couple have been living in this country for the last 20 years or so. This incident occurred a few years ago. They were in one of those huge parking lots at a department store. On returning to their car after shopping they realised they had a dead battery on hand. So they looked around and the lady spotted a man about to get into his truck. She told her husband that she would ask that man if he could help them. She approached him. The lady said, "Hi". The man replied "Hi, may I help you." The lady said "Yes please, could you please give me a jump". At this the man was rather shocked, and sort of taken aback. He appeared to turn red, until he noticed the elderly gent in the car. Then he laughed and remarked that "Oh you mean that your car needs a jump st-art". The lady remarked "That's what I said". Later in the car when the puzzled lady narrated this incident to her husband, he almost drove off the road roaring with laughter. It was only after he explained what "jump" meant, that the lady turned red. In fact we discuss this incident almost every time we go to dinner at their place. By the way, she has never been to that shopping complex ever since this incident out of fear of bumping into that man!
Tailpiece : In the US you give someone a "call" not a "ring" on the telephone. A newly arrived Indian went to the university library looking for a job, and had a long discussion with the lady in charge. While leaving he told her, "Well I'll give you a ring tommorrow." The lady was so stunned that she didn't speak for a few minutes, and then blurted out, "Isn't it a bit early for that?"

Our Desi Chap
**
The way things are going, the chap probably has an anonymouse-id by now.
Specially if he is posting matrimonials. "Handsome, healthy, wheatish-complexioned, 3 x 10^7 years old, 5'7" tall Prince-Regent (with green card) seeks homely, well-bred wife less than 5'4" tall. The boy (sic) has been married once, two twin sons by first marriage i.e. highly potent, first wife missing (believed to have been swallowed by her over-protective mother (don't ask, thanks)). He is an excellent archer, but he thinks he is some kind of divine incarnation (don't they all!).
Bit of a daddy's boy, will do anything for the old man. Prospective girls should have NO interest in any golden deer they happen to see in the forest. (Trust me, this has proven to be A Bad Idea the first time around.)
Should be willing to relocate to Ayodhya. Must like camping in the wild for several years, if necessary. Some foreign travel involved, including kidnapping and incarceration by physically deformed asuras, etc. Also, must be willing to deal with monkeys on a daily basis. Serious replies only. Include daytime telephone number.
happy9 Prem!

Ramayana Revised [ * * * * ]
**
How does a ABCD(American Born Confused Desi) explain to his younger brother the topic - When did Diwali begin?

This is how he goes about it............(read it with an American accent)

So, like this dude had, like, a big cool kingdom and people liked him.

But, like, his step mom, or somethin', was kind'a bitch, and she forced her husband to, like, you know, send this cool dude, Ram, to some national forest or reserve or somethin'.

Since he was going, for like, somethin' like more than 10 years or so, he decided to take his wife and his bro along. You know...so that they could all chill out together. But dude, the forest was reeeeeeal scary shit, really man, they had monkeys and devils and shit like that. But this dude, Ram, kicked the *** with darts, bows and arrows, so it was fine.

But then some bad gansta' boys, some jerk called Ravan, picks up his babe (Sita) and lures her away to his hood. And boy, were our man, and his bro Lakshman, pissed! And you don't piss this son-of-a-gunz 'coz, he just kicks *** and like, all the gods were with him. So anyways, you don't mess with gods. So, Ram and his bro get an army of monkeys. Dude, don't ask me how they trained the damn monkeys, just go along wtih me, OK.

So, Ram, Lakhs, and their monkeys whip this gansta's *** in his own hood.

Anyways, by now, their time's up in the forest and anyways, it gets kinda boring. You know no TVs or malls or shit like that. So, they decided to hitch back home. His bro and the wife are back home.

People thought, well, you know, at least they deserve somethin' nice and they didn't have any bars and clubs in those days. So they couldn't take them out for a drink, so the people decided to smoke or shit.

And they also had some lamps, they lit the lamps too. So it was pretty cooool....you know with all those fireworks really, they had some local band play along with the fireworks, and you know what, dude, that was the very first, no kidding, that was the very first musical-synchronized fireworks. You know, like the 4th of the July stuff, but just more cooler and stuff, you know.

And, so dude, that was how, like, this festival started. Cool!! Diwali Rocks Maaaan!

Quote from: "nishita"
I talk, he talk; Why do you beech beech talk?

Open the windows and let the atmosphere come in"!

"Why are you naat filupping the blanks ?"

"Hey, you guys, please keep quiet. The president is rotating outside"

"Do not smoke and spoil the botany of ur body"

"Open the windows, open the windows, let the climate come in"

Advice to father thinking about whether he should let his daughter continue her studies or get her married : "Vell, if you wantu study her, then study her. If you wantu marry her, then marry her ."

Prof to students hanging around the corridors during exams : "Do not revolve in the corridors in front of the examinations"

"Don't talk like that in front of my back"

"Louly hair cutting. Hair cutting, current drying. No shock."

"Repeat again please!"

"Mistake became wrong!"

Did you cut the tickets for the film, yet?

Pliss, close the fan!

Meri izzat ki naak cut gayee:: My honors' nose has been chopped off

Naak mein dum karna:: to strengthen the nostrils

An instructor explaining the working of pendulum: "Take an elephant of negligible weight"

Heard in kitchen: No, No I don't need chair can stand eating

It's so hot! Please on the fan no.

Instructor: "Take a copper wire of any metal...and pour a liquid solution of sulphuric acid in a round bottom flask of any shape.. "

A gardener scolding three kids : "Both of you three, don't under-stand the tree"!!

Pune'ites, and Bombay'ites will understand this - "This is not 'parvadable'"!

This is the essay on "Cow" which was (supposedly) written by some student in the course of completing the "Indian Civil Services Examination" happy9 I bet you will enjoy this.

PS : There are no typos in this essay.

Everything is legal and as it was written in the exam. If you develop cramps reading this or find your English gone haywire after reading this, please don’t blame me happy9
 
CALCUTTA's Telegraph has got hold of an answer paper of a candidate at the recent UPSC examinations. The candidate has written an essay on the Indian cow:

"The cow is a successful animal. Also he is quadrupud, and because he is female, he give milk, but will do so when he is got child.

He is same like God, sacred to Hindus and useful to man. But he has got four legs together. Two are forward and two are afterwards.

"His whole body can be utilised for use. More so the milk. What can it do?

Various ghee, butter, cream, curd, why and the condensed milk and so forth. Also he is useful to cobbler, watermans and mankind generally.

"His motion is slow only because he is of asitudinious species. Also his other motion is much useful to trees, plants as well as making flat cakes in hand and drying in the sun. Cow is the only animal that extricates his feeding after eating. Then afterwards she chew with his teeth whom are situated in the inside of the mouth. He is incessantly in the meadows in the grass.

" His only attacking and defending organ is the horn, specially so when he is got child. This is done by knowing his head whereby he causes the weapons to be paralleled to the ground of the earth and instantly proceed with great velocity forwards.

"He has got tails also, but not like similar animals. It has hairs on the other end of the other side. This is done to frighten away the flies which alight on his cohoa body whereupon he gives hit with it. The palms of his feet are soft unto the touch. So the grasses head is not crushed. At night time have poses by looking down on the ground and he shouts his eyes like his relatives, the horse does not do so.

"This is the cow.

"P.S.: We are informed that the candidate passed the exam.
