The Dudes

I was born and brought up in small towns in India like Gwalior, Jabalpur, Indore, and therefore never really came to the terms with the "dude language". I now live in US but somehow couldnt get accustomed to the dude lingo. I sincerely dont want to speak that kind of a language. Not that I am here to pass any decisions, but I just wonder and feel amused how quickly people adapt and follow to what they feel is funky and in vogue. On top of that, how quickly they also start to feel uncomfortable with the same people they were living all throughout there past life. I can understand Americans speaking something like that because thats the environment in which they have grown up. But 3 months in US and some of us are just masters of the "dude language".

It actually is quite an entertainment for me to listen to such people saying something like "Just take out that freaking phone of yours from the freaking pocket, maaaaaaaaaan!!!" or the more common "Jesus Christ" or "Jesus H. Christ". I wonder where "Hey Ram" or "Hey Bhagwan" have gone. You can find more such stuff on various scrapbooks.

I recently went back to India and was surprised to see "dudes" all around me. Metros like Pune, Bangalore besides the usual 4 have changed quite a lot. Some for good and some I am not sure.
Just wonder where are we heading?? Well, who cares? Just enjoy.
