Kya hamari angrezi kamjor hai: From the stable of Mujhe Samaj Aaye

Upbraided for not upgrading the English-speaking skills

English is a funny language, not yet freed from the laws of average. It is spoken in different parts of INdia, from Purulia to Araria, with 24X7 attempt to get a better grasp and in the due course finding it to be a tough task. Perhaps the biggest stress-buster in the times we live and dream in is our ability to speak. collate and sedate to the opposite side in the language we never opened our mouths with and if ever we did it in school we were done in by grammatical grid.

The English that we speak in and the English we cruise with has led to a grooming of English imparting experts who on occasions have their tv blurts . Perhaps their grasp and grind was accumulated courtesy thesaurus ; and those who failed to collect the latest edition of the same were dismissed as living on a land defined as porous and with no voice as vociferous.

Well before 1947 the people had begun to speak in the language that was alien to us and still remains alien despite attempts of tv theatres to refurbish our skills and this exercise leaves the ardent learners in a spate of ill. Having travelled across length and breadth of the country, the most visible form of attachment are the open fields where people accumulate in numbers to have the morning thrill and the discourse having the English feel. Hours later as afternoon sets in the tummy seems to be in a fine shape courtesy the English-thinking cap we worn since morning and the English prowess we droll in. Morning to evening we are caught in the crosscurrents of a language where we have made attempts to write and summarise so as to keep in line with our baiters/bartenders advice. Never since India made more than visible attempts to free from licence raj did anyone in black and white stretch the argumentative part that letters in this language are sole preserve of vilayati budhas who have the guiding support of mata raj.

When it is spoken in different parts of the county visible to the naked eye, the different inhabitants round it up their every sentence with "Mujhe Samaj Aaya (MSA) stress, underscoring the reach on the language of MSA who is yet to adorn the mantle of NSA.

Having faulted those with skills of BA and yet having the temerity to shoot letters that only mandarins of MEA could do, the line of argument from barbarians is that products of hansrajs and kiroris are miles away from getting a grasp on this language of fritter and sway.

As debating circuit, tv theatres included, aim to refurbish the language spoken by those who are able to see the writing on the wall and the writing that would appear after a fresh coat of paint has been put and the weather-friendly passages they now and then shoot. Armed with dual skills a rarity in the season when they found mobocracy overtaking democracy when the congregation in the Capital was no longer a secrecy. It is the nominated and yet the firing brigade that can lay claim to having attended to all English upgradation skill classes in the National Capital and beyond and those having failed to do so receiving the much-needed taunt.

Are we to believe that those who gained entry through sports quota in the prime of their life and in the so-called prime college of the National Capital in the late 80s have fewer indulgences and are careful with all the vowel when they babble.

English is after all a funny language where the fun begins the moment they begin to speak as go becomes goo and prints of true becomes prints of blue. Hazare becomes Garware and Garware becomes Phagware as we ascend from the western belt to the northern tilt. English that we speak and the English that we reap makes most of us cringe and weep. Rona yeh hai ki English pe hamne maharathi hasil nahi ki hai aur jinho ne ki hai unhe thesauras free me mili hai. Perhaps those staying opposite IHC and other places are more inclined to the view that cattle class can't afford the language they speak and their condition can be ameliorated including those passing out from St Vimhans by enrolling for different English learning and leveraging classes in the country. After all St Vimhans is yet to begin correspondence courses given the depth of correspondences their products released from its stable long time ago are indulging in.

After all English is a funny language spoken and soaked by all and sundry. From vegetable vendor to tv hunter, it is spoken at alarming length to alarm the janata that time is ripe to commit themselves to English swipe.
