uGH!

Hey,
I had such a horrible day today!
What began with one fellow colleague ended with a pathetic old man!
Case 1:
My colleague is a Maharashtrian which in her eyes,makes her 'North Indian' (read 'cool' in her head).So she tells me she has 8 people over for dinner.
Me-Oh,wow what are you cooking?
She-Ummm...I was just wondering how much rice do I have to cook for 8 South Indians.

I hate this image of the typical South Indian-rice eating,non-Hindi speaking,Lungi wearing.
Now all of the above are actually not such bad things.Rice eating? Nah.But the derogatory sense in which she used the rice for soth indian term blew my fuse off.I mean if she has left her hometown and come down South for education,she must learn to respect the sentiments and the way of life of the people who live here.Not be condescending about them.

Oh and read this.
I was writing in Hindi some random things ,scribbling rather and she peeks at this paper and she is like 'Oh you can write Hindi also'
Firstly,
Hindi being our National Language I believe strongly contrary to popular belief ,Hindi is widely taught at most schools(Even in 'South India').Her involuntary shock at my ability to write Hindi despite our acquaitance for over a month where I have spoken to her on many ocassions in chaste Hindi,probably not only reflects her arrogance but also her thick-headedness in not able to see beyond what her mind has processed(Read-NO SOUTH INDIANS CAN SPEAK HINDI OR EAT ANYTHING EXCEPT RICE).

Now I hate the term South Indians too.Or the term North Indians for that matter.Its bad enough to be divided on lingusitic basis in various states that we now deal with this division.

Anyway, the second complaint is even worse.It has to do with my driving skills and amm junta on the road who mis-behave.But you know I'm so exhausted.Hopefully,I'll have a quite day tomorrow and let bygones be bygones or I could change my mind and tell you about it.
Love,
y
