Shuffling

Shuffling between home and hostel can be a real problem at times.
Reason- You don't adjust your language accordingly.

There have been numerous instances when I just don't realize that I'm at home, and end up speaking just like I do in the hostel. Or just avoid doing so.

Some of the instances I can recollect :

1) When I'm busy mugging

My sister (In 8th std) : Bhaiya, what do you do when someone says 'You're irritating me' continuously and thus irritates you in the process?

Me: Uh..? What?

Sis : Repeats the question

Me (Getting pained) : Show them your middle finger

Sis: Show them whaat?

Me: Oh! Umm.Your index finger, asking him or her to move away.
Shit!


2) When I'm speaking to my friend in the hostel on the phone the day before quiz :

Me: Macha, what all are there to mug da?

Friend : Rolls out a big list

Me : Shit da. Denge denge denge denge denge!

After I keep the phone down,

My mom : You could have said that a couple of times more.


3) One more phone incident. It was Sania I think. I was having the cordless and was walking about. Guests had come home, 4 of them sitting in the hall. I happened to go to the hall just at the wrong moment.

Sania: How's power amplifier da?

Me(Excitedly and loudly) : Total rape. Everyone will get raped. Surely.

All eyes towards me. I freeze.


4) This is one of the worstmax possible. Anybody who's seen AliG's Cannes Po** Festival will empathize with me.

Me (Sitting on the comp talking to myself) : Can you maaastharbaete? Can you maaaastharbaete? Can you maaastharbaete? Can you maaastharbaete?
(AliG style)

My dad(thinking I'm singing a song) : What sort of a song is this?

Me : Oh, this? Some rap song. Even I don't like it.

Oh shit! Shit! Shit! This is home!


5) And of course, I seem to have taught my sis quite a bit unknowingly. The other day, she was having a conversation with her friend on the phone.

Her friend : Said something which I obviously didn't hear.

My sis : Cock up.

Me(Sitting on the sofa wasting time) : Wtf?!

Later, I call her and ask her - How did you learn that?

She : You only taught me. You told me 'cock up' last week when I was telling you how my teacher praised me.

Me: NO! You're not supposed to use these things for at least...umm..3 years.

She : Cock up.(Just to irritate me)

She ran. Of course I chased her down and made sure she didn't repeat this.
