Me Marathi...

Scene from yesterday @ Food Court in HYD DC ----- (10 people are sitting together from same project )

Manager - hey naga illa tuiyy jasl olals jlsaljla ( i got hey Naga only )
Naga - illa guddu chingi pukka gythh hilla bababa ( got nothing )
Manager - chapandi tunaslak lkslak aslja ( got nothing )

It’s all blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah for me as I don't know Telugu ( this went on for another 15 mins )


They all knew I don't even know a word of Telugu still they keep on conversing in Telugu.....were they doing something wrong, Telugu is their mother tongue, they are in HYD so they should speak Telugu…..right or wrong?


Look at the below mail.....all 3 Marathi people are conversing in ENGLISH…. sad isn’t it?

It’s very sad, we just say Jai Maharashtra and then do nothing to promote our Language, and we should always encourage other Marathi people to read, speak and even write as much as they can in Marathi in our own language.

I found a banner in one of the pune shop saying "Aamhi Marathi aahot Marathi bolto " , how do you feel after reading this? You feel kind of proud that this person is doing something to promote our Marathi or you feel sad? For me the question is why in the first place he needed to put that board??? Answer simple Coz Marathi people don’t speak MARATHI.............

I know the trend is changing and English is the need of the hour, but can’t we just switch on and off between the languages we use, is that so difficult?? I don’t think so……………

And please don’t feel your promoting regionalism by using your mother tongue that was never true and will never be, we all are first proud to be Indians and then proud to be a Maharashtrian. Just to reiterate my point --- The recent campaign conducted by MNS and then by Municipal corporation to have the all the shop hoardings in Pune in Marathi Language, has anyone notice that the company that we work in already has a hoarding in Marathi, was this because Infosys management biased about Marathi? NO, they did it because they know how important a regional language is to that particular state. Do we feel the same????

We have to practice Marathi, we have to promote Marathi, Say yes to MARATHI

Offence meant to all the below mail participants

Its Pity that I had to write in English to encourage ppl to write in Marathi , term it as "need of the hour"
