The power of the language !!

The Queen's English, they say, is the purest and noblest of all forms - we've inherited this as a legacy of the British Raj and this is one standout example of how everything that is videshi aint bad after all :-) Though i must admit that we have done a good job of mastering it - the BPO industry is proof enough - there are still occasions when i am not so sure...The Texan drawl, the Australian twang - they are all manageable but these Mellus :-)

Me: Dinesh, if Maino comes to power i gotta leave the country mate. U know anyone abroad who can get me a job?
Dinesh: My ungle ees in the Gelff - zimbly eemeil heem n esk no
Me: ???

Me: Boss, i have no clue whos got the doc
Boss: Penguj dold me he hed it..jeg vith heem..

Me: Hey macha, lets go for this Roger Waters thingy man
Arun: Remgi, I like wonly pope muzik..No da..No da..please da..

If my pal whos jes back from Kolkatta is to be belived, then things are even funnier there.. Guess v shud all kombile a list of the Inglish we hear.. Would you like to contribute ?
