I’ve been trying to improve my Hindi to an extent where I can go through an entire conversation without using a word of English. I’ve mostly failed miserably at it because I don’t know such pure Hindi. But I want to learn. Problem is, there isn’t anyone who I can converse with to practice and no material from where to learn and practice on my own.
And only in this attempt have I realized how bad my Hindi is and how difficult articulating myself in it is. And people think I’m nuts if I try to talk purely in Hindi. A colleague has even called me crazy for trying to use pure Hindi because according to her, it’s to medieval :D
Some times I think I really AM nuts :-|
I’m glad that so many people have shown concern that things are not right. But honestly, I’m ok.. Absolutely fine..
The main reason that I can deduce for why I did it was impulse and wanting to do something random. Honest :)
It’s been three days since I switched off my cell phones. Can I keep them off for another 2 days (One full working week).. I’m gonna try. Mom tried to make me change my mind and switch on my cell. I gave her “I’m preparing for the eventuality when I will ditch my phones” argument. Did not sit well with her.
Few friends missed me/asked me about it (I’m glad for that).
Most people did not/have not realized it (I’m not sure how I want to feel about that).
One thought I’d realized that I’d lost it long time back and so lost it all over again (okay I made this up, but she did think I was mentally ill)
I have no clue why I’m doing it. I’m fairly sure that a couple of new friends I’ve made (online and online only), if they read the past few posts will think I’m mentally ill.
Hmm, that coincides with my friends view..
It’s late and I’m trying to sleep but random thought flit in and out of my mind driving away sleep. I’m energised but should sleep to be fresh for work.
Switched off my cell(s) and left them at home (On purpose). No one has new office number, have no access to any instant messengers. Don’t remember anyone’s phone numbers.
Almost incommunicado (not that many people call me or msg me even otherwise)
Have to keep myself immersed in work and music.. :)
There are so many people (mostly friends – college, school and others) I want to meet but do not have enough time to. With 13 hour workdays, weekdays are impossible. Out of two days over the weekend, most of sunday is reserved for family. That leaves saturday, half of which I spend sleeping.
I need more time. Someone make the days longer please!!!
