Macha?? Don’t ask. I do not know
the meaning, assuming that there exists one.
Recently, two of my nieces Ashy and Ann were with us for a week. I understood
nothing they spoke. To find meanings, we used to run to ‘Oxford, ‘ Chambers ‘
or ‘Webster’s’ But this time I ‘Googled’. All the words spoken by these
beautiful girls, I heard for the first time and did not sound very beautiful.
Words like ASAP, GWS, etc. After one week when the girls were to go back to Doha, I told
them at the gates:
I : Sul
2G : So you have Sulled??
(2G means 2 Girls)
I :Sulled?? No way
Macha !!
2G :But you said Sul which means you concede defeat.
I : No No No.
2G : Don’t TOP (the girls screamed scratching their heads and I was terrified)
I : Darlings I was
trying to learn your language. I just meant
‘ See U Later’
2G : !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TOP = Test our Patience
So how to
justify the title. Yes Macha, I have to. I am 57, yet my mind yearn to be with the students and teach and learn
Physics. (Yes, I have learnt a lot of Physics from my students. I learnt very
hard things from my best student Renjan)
Next time in
a Physics class, I just have to say “AREO” (rhyms with ALIYO??) --- meaning
ACTION
REACTION EQUAL AND OPPOSITE.
What a convenience Machaaa???
The sensible
among my students PEM.
Please Excuse
Me. Yes,
in Rome you have to be a Roman.
My only
prayer is that I shall not abandon Enthoro Mahanubhavolu in favour Enthorishtama
---the latest “Hot Potato”. To me the latest Hot Potato sounds like the “ Rock
Star” Rana Tigrina !!!
my ammu frequently says "Kaatti..kootti"....."" chenda"" which replaces our word koottilla....
