The Language Love


Work is hard in the afternoons, especially when it is a long and heavy lunch, and it is harder when other team members have work while you can afford to laze around a bit.

Sundeep and myself could afford a little timeout from work. When we take our time outs we do ask each other all the worthless things that could really relieve you of all the stress.

It was one of those days, when Sundeep asked " What is for 'Buffalo' in Tamil.?" I , without any hesitation said "கழுதை"(Donkey in Tamil).Sundeep, is basically from Andra and does not know Tamil( I had no intention of misguiding him, I was simply wrong). Being a Tamilian,I was really proud that the letter "ழ" exists only in Tamil and  no other Indian Language has it. Karthik sitting behind be with all his busy schedule turned with a 'I dont believe this' WHAT.......
Every one laughed.... I realised I should have said "எருமை".
