yea.. this is one thing common to corporates.. n i js got back from one such brunch... I wasnt really used to joining my team for coffee.. major reason language barrier! .. telgu pata nai kyun.. palle padti hi nahii !!.. khairr.. its just a few days since i started moving out with them for cofee.. i dont really remember y i suddenly switched and did not mind the language barrier, more so i happened to remember the fact that i can still be alone in a crowd...
aneways.. my people are considerate, they understand my facial expressions so well, n r kind enuf to translate, n somtimes i pik the english words they throw in wid thier telugu as they speak, n frame things out fr myself.. n most of the time they are laughing, bout soem joke ( not nasty or smthin infac it wudnt have any humorous content but i tell ya, the rest all they did to present it woudl make it hilarious! ) .. there are times i find myself wid a blank face when all of them are laughing n yea they are smtimes tooooo bz laughing not wanting to loose out on those moments ( of laughter ) that they do not translate it to me.. but ya.. i still laugh... nah.. not js to give company, i dont know.. they way they laugh is also funny enuf to make me laugh.. so its ok.. :)
therz one Manoj in our team, n he had his appraisal discussion yesterday.. so dat was the hot topic, n i gave strict instructions that its gona be in english!! n he obliged (although he always seemed to find it difficult to communicate in english coz he stuied in telgu since scool )..
I;m not sure if this is something easy or if it comes by practice or somthing... but.. how well do u think you can laugh at yourself (in public ofcourse! ) .. I realised its an art in itself... laughing at yourself yea!!.. i saw this in him today.. he seemed so easy witht the mess he was making out of himself n he continued to entertain.. he surely carved a niche for himself with that charisma of being clumsy that he treasures...

Madam, The best joker is one who makes fun of himself. Yahan pe tho hasna bhi mana hai. Aur ye "bheed mein bhi tanha" kahan se aya. Dumbo, enjoy the company.
