CHANGED ? ME?? NO WAY MACHA !!!


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 !!!
