Aur Kya Bolein?

Staying in Jharkhand for four years added a great deal to my lingo stack. Given the unique way of expressing sentiments within words of the common man, I was initially amused and later on developed a sense of appreciation for the same. One such Bengali prof used to take a great deal of interest in teaching his subject. Once, seeing me lost in class, he called me to the elevated stage and asked me to hold the solid cone which was the topic of discussion for that class. He made me hold it in various positions infront of the entire class and kept on dumping his loud nonsense in my ears. At the end of it, he said " Tum janta hai hum tumko yahan kyun khara kiya hai? " (do you know why I called you here). Negative. " Tum first bench pe baith ke sota hai to hum socha tumko aur paas se sikhaya jaye"(you sleep on the first bench so it was imperative to call you closer). And then came the question, " To aaj ka lecture boojha ki nahin?(did u get today's lecture)". To say the least, it took me a few everlasting moments to gather myself from the ignomity of public sarcasm. Add to that the typical accent and his piercing question, I nodded in affirmation. "Bahut sahee, humko ullu samjha hai ka ?" (do I look like a fool?). Another round of laughter. I shall always remember the manner in which those words came out of his mouth, his tone of disgust and the manner of teaching me how important it is to be attentive in class.

These are some of the words I picked up on my way to graduating from the "unibharsity". Some of them were known but got embedded on practice. Read on...
