Papa, Can i hath a Surname...NOT!

     i wrote this a couple of days ago... of the list, point no # 7 is one thing that irritates me a lot... When i first cane to Indore, i was sort of resigned that there outta be smirks abt my Hindi, however decent it may be... but seriously i didn't think, i wud be facing so much ridiculous things...

    First was food... Damn it!! Idli and Dosa are staple food because we are in the plateau.. not as in plains like u... Roti / Chapati produces heat in ur body thats essential for the extreme cold climate u undergo.. we need no heat.. we are HOT by nature... and we can go without idli or dosa but betcha u can never live without Roti.. accept it.. don't u scrounge the place, wr evr u go, for these wheat products.. hmmm?

    then the language... Dammit.. i know 3 languages completely..read, write and speak.. i can also understand 5 other indian and foreign languages (conversational).. can u?? u don't know a language other than Hindi.. your english is so horrible and don't even talk abt that accent u put up... and u are teasing abt my language??? hell with u...

    Now wat are u talking abt???  that i develop a liking towards other Tamil ppl.. Dammit.. thats Freudian Theory.. human nature that u gang up with ppl of mutual likings and understanding.. Haven't u ever heard of "Birds of same feather flock together"?? hey hello..u do the same thing... only thing is.. for u it wud be " Blokes of same feather flock toghether"!!

    And the name!! especially surname.. wr ever i go, this happens inevitably..
    X :  hi.. wats ur name?
    D Rat: ########
    X :  Full name?
    D Rat : ########
    X : ermm.. Surname?
    D Rat : Oww.. we don't have one..
    For ur Kind information folks... surnames are clear indicators of caste.. TN government abolished the use of caste names as surnames and as district names as early as 1996... just get the clue.. don't go on asking for my caste the next time..

    @#$&%^@#%$#^ Get the POinT??!!

    P.S # On a totally random note.. this Spidey has become my pet in last week... resides in my office cabin, thrives on the insects that the gardener brings along with fresh flower daily morning.. i tried clicking, but its shy of posing... but how did it know that i love Spidaah Maan!!

    doesn't need this much anger.. good one though.. people always tend to look for similarities.. some might not accept any form of dissimilarity.. even it is the american president!!

    Hm. I am a south Indian, who was brought up in the north, and am again back down south now. But somehow, I never had those issues that I hear about so often. While in the north, I was always considered smarter than the rest because of my immaculate english, reading habits, and a lot of other things. And now down south, I am the one who can rattle off hindi, talk perfect english, and be a mix of all things good! Somehow, this north-south thing always worked in favor of me :) I had my bit of idli-dosa jokes, yes, but the same guys used to pounce on my tiffin dabba at school too!

    Reached here through a narcissist technorati search for my blog, which showed a link out here! Thanks for liking my name too ;)

    You are on my favorites list now!

    Ratzzz said...

    @ chriz..

    Go figure, Man.. u of all persons.. grr

    Ratzzz said...

    hi Divya...

    being smart and getting stereotyped are two diff things.. the ppl here accept that i am above them all, given my language and skills.. but yet that doesnt stop them from behaving ridiculously..
    the same ppl who call me d Idli brigade Beg to cook them an authentic south indian meal.. and the same ppl come to me for drafting mailers and CVs in "english"...

    neva mind.. they asked for this wrath and they got it..

    welcome at this Ratzz Humble abode.. keep visiting.. i think i picked a post idea from u.. thanks for that:-)

    Mads said...

    good post here. frustration vented out at its best

    and just ignore them. they are so not worth it. cant speak english for nuts and then ridicule u. aargh..

    cool blog :) and it's sooo huge :O i didnt know where to start from :| :| :D

    Dr Roshan Radhakrishnan said...

    i still remember the first time i was asked abt my caste was in Pune.. I soon realised how much value is given to surname and its implications out here... such asses !!

    enchantinganki said...

    I wanna meet tat spidey!!

    Ratzzz said...

    @ Mads..

    i dont have an accent either baby.. but they go "ingda pingada ponga" (whatever that means) or Aiyo every time i say a tamil word...

    yeah.. its glorious to watch them stumble in English and yet maintain a straight face.. i say u it really needs skill..

    hmm.. like start from here.. :-P

    WElcome abroad , Girl...

    Ratzzz said...

    @ Doctor..

    Really.. they even judge the character using the surnames and castes... like hell.. i purposely give a diff caste to myself every time they ask.. its really not worth it to back answer or give some smart ass answers.. they simply don't get it...

    Ratzzz said...

    @ anki

    u ll have to come to my office baby.. remember my glass cabin?

    jhayu said...

    @ The Rat.
    Hiya. Own domain and everything. Damn cool. Just a question, though. Are you trying to hide your first name, too? Because if you are, you're not doing too well at it. :s

    jhayu said...

    Sorry to sound so weird and all.

    Ratzzz said...

    @ Jhayu

    Ratzzz said...
