Forgetting English with CED!

The following bit of confession might have most of you in astonishment.It is "nothing but" the fact that i have seriously started preparing for GRE.All thanks to my friend.

One might wonder what has that got to do with this article , well it sure has a lot to do with it.

First let me tell you where i study , i am currently pursuing B.Tech (Hons) in Civil Engg from National Institute of Technology ,Jamshedpur.Yeah, you got it right, the hub of english speaking indians.



So, here are a few interesting english sentences along with their pronounciation.

Firstly , most people from Bihar and Jharkhand , muddle up or rather purposefully pronounce 'B' instead of 'V'.

so

1) vertical is "BHERTICAL"
2) horizontal is "HORIJONTAL"
3) rivet is "RIBET"
4) upstream is "APASTREAM"
5) downstream is "DOWNASTREAM"
6) causes is "CAUJEJ"
7) shallow is "SALLO"
8) shake is "SAKE"
9) message is "MESSAZE"
10) draw is "DRAA"
11) zig-zag movement is "JIG-JAG MOVEMENT"
12) z-z plane is"JED-JED PLANE"
13) problem is "PROLOM"
14) wave pressure is "BABE PRESSURE"
15) Value is "BHALUE"
16) bridge is "BRIZZ"
17) books is "BUSS"
18) width is "BIDTH"
19) zero is "JEERO"
20) design is "DE-JINE"
21) resevoir is "RESERBHOIR"
22) figure is "PHIGAR"
23) village is "BHILLAGE"
24) dissolved is "DIJJOLBED"
25) vary is "BHARY"
26) zone is "JONE"
27) weir is "BIER"
28) shape is "SAPE"
29) should be is "SUD BE"
30) fail is "PHALE"
31) sloughing is "SLOUJING"
32) vehicle is "BEHKLE"
33) body is "BADI"
34) purposes is "PURPOSEJ"
35) size is "SHIZE"
36) ways is "BAJE"

and height of intelligence from an erudite persona is "DI-FARGE" instead of diaphragm


some very interesting sentences

1) All books are better
2) horizontal ones are columns and vertical ones are rows
3) I am agree
4) Center is at the middle

and the pick of the lot is "SAKE IT WITH THE SEKAR"

So, listening to such wonderful and innovative pronounciations will definitely help me clear GRE with a comfortable score of 1550+ and MIT would probably offer me a 100% fee waiver.




But not all people hailing from this state are the same ,there are a few exceptions just like some of the girls in my college, then a guy named Vikash Jha whom i seriously adore for his intellectual yet humorous thoughts and the way he brings it out of his mind.

Then came this guy from T.I.M.E , Mr.Sajal Mitra whose hometown is Ranchi.I happened to meet him at my first class for CAT '10 which i hope not to clear , and by the very few words he spoke before the class commenced made me just gaze at his proficiency in english.After 3 hours of class which passed without me getting bored and not checking the time, i didn't have any words to appreciate him satisfactorily.
He stands apart from the crowd and he will definitely have a place inside me in the years to come.I call him a 'living legend'.I mean,a person having completed CA, MA and MBA should have been somewhere building a new home just for keeping his money but he isn't there, he is now a course director in T.I.M.E Calcutta and a lecturer for verbal ability.
I'm very glad that i came to know him and hope that he takes classes frequently for us.


Thanks for reading through this article, this should probably be the 2nd one which is not movie-based , and feel free to pour in critical comments.

same thing happens in our coll man.. here in maharashtra people add the "h" sound after every "v" or "b"..
so its v-h-olume, de-j-h-yne, b-h-ooks,b-h-eams, pre-j-h-entation, and so on.. ofcourse, we do not wanna talk about their interesting english, coz its only a comment not another blog we re writing. life happens.

and the worst part: we ve forgotten english. we say "did he teached anything in class tomoro?". god bless.
