Achu doesnt like english for the simple reason that he cannot make head or tail of it...
But the persistent efforts of his desperate mother forced him to open a dictionary of his own ..to which he keeps own adding a word or two each day...
Here are a few examples of his uncanny creation...
Amma- Achu what are you doing?
Achu- Naching amma..
( A quick glance through his dictionary .. and it says nach + ing for dancing, dekhing for watching, susuing for pissing, kheling for playing and so the list goes..)
Amma (after getting ready for the evening stroll)- Come on Achu, Lets move..
Achu ( with full irritation)- Kitna baar moov ( Muh) dhoyenge!!!
Amma - Count the figures achu
Achu- There are 6 balloon amma
Amma- 6 balloons achu, not balloon
achu ( quite excited )-i will never forget that amma!
Amma- count the next one
Achu- 7 phools...8 chammachs... 9 machaliis and 10 kattoriis
Achu ( returning from school)-Nowadays i speak in english in class amma..
Amma( shocked)-!!!!!!?????
Achu -I no longer sneak out through the backdoor for drinking water..instead i ask my ma'am for permission.. and that too in english!!!
Amma-( jumping in excitement)-I am proud of you achu.. tell me what exactly you ask..
Achu-Am i water Ma'am ? aur kya!!!!
And when he utters them in his own style... confident to the core...and with great pride for having mastered that 'Doosara shabdh'( which is his terminology for english)....i am left with no option other than digesting it as such...
