Language - English is very Funny (pronounced Phunny) Language

"English is very Funny (pronounced Phunny) Language" is a famous dialogue by one of the biggest superstars of Hindi movies in one of his super-hit film.

This definitely is a language that binds the whole world together with a medium that all want to understand and accept. 

Well the world that I am aware of! But with the progress of technology more and more of us have started to use English alphabets to write our own vernacular languages. 

The outcome of this mixing is a product which most of the times are very funny to the third person.

And when you encounter something like this in a supermarket notice board, you are left wondering if this was a spelling mistake or another language using English characters!

Never fight with an idiot

As I was driving to work this morning, I remembered a similar morning in Kuwait many years ago. It was rush hour, and a single-lane road connecting to the 5th Ring Road had conveniently been converted into two lanes, with no regard for the term “right of way”.

I was driving a saloon car when a rugged four-wheel drive started pushing me from my right and eventually forced me to stop as our metals clinked.

I lowered the window and, before I could open my mouth, the other guy said:

“I agree I am an idiot! But what is wrong with you? You should have stopped.”

I was dumbfounded.

The only answer I could have given was, “Hey, I am an idiot too.” But I was forced to leave the scene as hundreds of cars behind us were getting restless and had started honking in a way that could easily have given the South African vuvuzela a good run for its money!

Later, I asked myself… was I competing with that idiot in idiocracy?

Unfortunately, the answer was YES!

Lessons learnt

Never fight with an idiot, even if you are right.

It’s a no-win situation—or should I say, a LOSE–LOSE situation?

You are either defeated by an idiot, or, if you win, you end up being a bigger idiot yourself.
