an interesting read. seriously I agree with HP that it is us guys in India who are more confused than people brought up in the US.
For example, look at a regional news channel interviewing somebody on the roads about their opinion on some matter (say about how petrol prices are rising and their consequences)
Inevitably, he tries mumbling something in Telugu/Hindi/etc.. but he is unable to express himself. Then he tries mixing in some English words and ultimately complicates the whole thing.
A language should be the vehicle between thinking and expression. This is not happening in India because we try to create arcane tongue twisting equivalents for day-to-day words of modern speak (like cellphone, train, television, email) On the other hand, if you go to Japan or France, those guys find it very convenient in expressing themselves in Japanese/French.
Conclusion : We are doomed !
