A School Master from a remote rural area in Bihar was transferred to a new School in Mumbai. He reported for duty two days after the actual date of joining. Consequently he was asked for an explanation in writing...


Deer sur,

If small small mistakes getting inside my letter, I big you pardon, ass I am not a good englis speaker.

This is my fist vijit to Bombai. Stickly speaking, I wanted to joint your school more fastly, but for the following region, too much time lost in getting slipper reservation in three-tyre compartment. I tolded I has head ache problem due to migration. Still the clerk rejected to give ticket to I and my sun.I putted a complain on station masterji. He said I to go to the lady clerk. At first she also rejected. I then pressed for long time and finally with great difficulty she gave birth to my sun.
Anyway I thanked the station master also because he was phully responsible for getting birth of my sun.
Ass a hole it was a bhery diphicult experiment in my hole life. I hope u will look into explain my hole story after, and late me joint first. I am now ending this fastly.

I am a waiter for your responsement.

May god blast you.

We make fun of Bengali people too!

When Mr. Venkatraman wanders in a veranda, his Bengali Boss will ask him,

'Benkatrama! Benkatrama! Bhy do you bhandar in the bheraandhaa?'

Namaskaram,

2 lessons I learnt about English as a kid:

1. That someone called the city of 'Pune' as 'peon'!

2. That someone addressed a person who just left the place as 'passed away' instead of 'passed by'!

Yes, I am amazed at the quality of our English education in India that none of us make such mistakes, that is so commonly possible when learning a foreign language!

By the way, my hubby's boss when introducing a new employee, called him 'Mr. Satturman", it turned out it was one Mr. Sethuraman!

It is very hard for foreigners to get to speak any of our Indian languages too, but they are not ashamed to make mistakes and be adventurous in it!

i dont know how to handle this thread, but feel it does demand a post

no matter what, all over the world, barring india, it is agreed, that the first language of instruction should be the mother tongue. self was taught in tamil medium for 4 years, before my parents moved to a new neighbourhood, where all the kids went to convent schools. so, mee too went to convent school, english medium, back in 2nd class.

lost two years, no regret there. eventually my anglo indian high school teachers turned out to be the best in their fields, and my english teacher d.o.perry, is one teacher i owe all in my life.

still the 4 years of tamil, inculcated a love of the language, which lingered all through my 55+ years when i last discontinued it. during my teens i read ponniyin selvan and now, at this stage at 64, am a serious reader of modern tamil literature.

the ones who did best in my iit class, were those, who had their education in rural areas of india, and with their mother tongue. the most numerous were convent educated guys like mine. i am also amazed at the fundamental understanding of stuff by those who are taught in their mother tongue. both in chennai, and in bihar, where i saw really rough edged guys, having an understanding of IC engine, all through working with their hands, and without any knowledge of english.

now even tamil nadu state schools are english medium. oh well, dont know what else to say, except that somewhere, we have turned he wrong path?
