Before I start, this isn’t abt “a particular” conversation. Just phone convos of late.
It has been a while since I socialised with my “kind”, and there is strange sense of vast emptiness that has developed of late and it is becoming increasingly difficult to say “ hi, how are ya” without feeling nervous. Does it sound right? Is he/she feeling it? Are they mad at me for not being in touch? Do I sound desperate? Does my English sound right?
DOES MY ENGLISH SOUND RIGHT?!
I have been interacting with a lot of labourers on site.(yes I am an architect/contractor).My job involves conversing with the labourers on site in their local languages… KANNADA AND TAMIL. NOT FUN!! When you don’t have a good control over the language, it is not the coolest feeling when you know the experts in the audience are mocking you with words you wish you understood.. And here I am trying to learn their way of life and their style of speech…
