After a few weeks of the release of the film Dhoom 3, some of our group people started iterating the very in vogue dialogue , "bande hai hum uske.." , and hence an innocent phrase was fidgeted with and the outcome was hysterical. As you know our country is so culturally rich with so many languages, so we had a healthy discussion as to what this famous dialogue would sound like in different languages such as gujju, marathi, oriya, etc. So I start with gujju, the translation , which received by my faulty ear sounded like " aaye hai hum ma ***** ke", the gujju guy had since them taken a vow of silence in translating any phrase into his native language. Then we turned up to the oriya community, and again the faulty ear heard "monisha tohe tang kare" , so again the rest of the languages laughed together.
So today a guy in my office got up , all of a sudden, his face lit up with excitement and oomph oozing out,he exuberantly claimed "insert ho gaya
!".
Proudly he said and then
I exploded laughing, with a bewildered look in my eyes that asked "kya
? kaha?
" . Then after a while
I realized that he was talking about data and database and not, you know what.
A daily conversation in the office cubicles , a guy was reading a pamphlet, some where it said "hot sticks", and they say a man only hears what he wants to hear, so yes you guessed it I heard "hot chicks" and again bewildered with my listening capabilities i asked where when , how many?
The faulty ear is not a road block just a lack of understanding, becasue the word chumma has different meanings in different languages, for e.g hindi it is a kiss and in tamizh it means "just like that", even then, if I hear chumma, and just like that, my eye brow is caught in a supernatural fish hook and is pulled up all by itself.
For more instances I need more memory, I am thinking of buying a portable invisible hard disk for my head, please if any body finds it, get me one along with an hearing aid for the aforementioned obvious reasons.
