my english is better than my nepali.. why i wonder...lemme think..

oh i just thought lemme think in english..i wonder wonder...

wait a sec..m in us ;) no nepali signboards anywhere.. darn it!

oh..and im writing all my papers in english..hooo..

and my friends...hmmm.. most of them are nepali... maybe i should feel uneasy to talk to them in english...

initially i did.. k ghanta jasto nepali bhayera english chadchas.. but that was three years ago.. now it doesnt really matter because language is just a boat for communication... didnt realize that earlier..

mayybe..just mayybe..if there was an ultraconservative with a big stick who would whack me over the head for any word thought in english, id be better at my nepali. but dont get me wrong..i aint no english professor, nor am i a grammar nazi..

bottom line.. if you understand english, nepali, newari, hindi, urdu, sanskrit, latin, spanish, spanglish, french, russian, cantonese or even any of them pseudo cryptic languages like hieroglyphics, dont be scared to practise it. There aint no harm in trying to express yourself. A lot of people are actually scared to because of the scathing criticism invoked, and boy is our dear fellow brethren quick to comment.

and i may be among the minority (dunno, lets find out?) but i actually enjoy learning new words in strange languages.. nah im not gonna stop doing that just cuz u think its stupid :D

kapeesh? el comprende senor?

sayonara :D

PS - @pixie.. i think its just the intial awkwardness that hampers conversation. ive been in situation (when i just came frm nepal) where i didnt know how to respond to an acknowldegment. Like some guy/girl would walk past nodding their heads towards me saying "Hey! Hows it going?". And my brain couldnt process this weird way of greeting. So in an awkward posture of the head and slurred speech I would reply, "Hey...how is it going?". :D everybody learns :D
