Language

just wondering..

we have a lot of languages or rather so many languages in the world.

forget the world, India itself has 20+languages..maybe more.

Come to think of it, why do we have a language..so that we can communicate with one another. with everybody.

And that very same language becomes a barrier in our communication..

We have instances in india itself, where if people dont speak the state language, they dont communicate with you..wherein the main intention is communication and not language.

I would say language shouldnt be the focus, the main purpose is to talk.

Currently in Kosice, we are facing lot of language issues, many people are cooperative and help us around and some just turn a blind eye.

We are currently communicating by dancing if you can say so, basically acting out everything..
so i am now much better in dumbcharades if you would like to think :).

The first 2 days were fun, challenging, right from water, milk, curd, butter, salt, sugar, time..yu name and we had to act it out..but it was fun....

And some of my colleagues have come with innovative ways, they have started taking pictures on the cell of everything..basically taken the fun out :)
