American "Desi" Accent

Back in San Jose , Me and my roomies were discussing about the India trips and thats when the topic of AMERICAN ACCENT came in. My roomies were saying , ppl will expect us to put up the American accent , expect the american lifestyle etc etc. It was just for fun, nothing serious .Volatile discussions. I am still sketching myself in that yucky figure ... I would surely make a fool of myself .Though it is also possible that people would still imagine some accent in my speaking but who cares...
So I am here thinking about my weird look...that rings alarm bells for me..never to go for anything like that..Gossh...I m saved...!!!!But, I have seen a lot of Desis trying to fake their accent by adding american words , making an ass of themselves. Their true efforts of using that accent in every sentence they speak doesn't impress others at all...At least for me I simply choose to ignore such creatures...No body can become a different person in two, three years...Accepted you are adjusted to a new environment you learn new words ...but the basic tone of speaking your language is a thing that can never ever go away from you...irrespective of how much hard you try...
I dont want to go into the objectionable topics like feeling proud of being Indian and being a patriotic coz I never had such feeling ..But it doesn't mean I feel sorry being an Indian.. its just an inert feeling...but I dont think that coming to any other country nowadays is a big deal..So why have that fake feeling of greatness in first place...?
Why not be the person you are and present yourself the same way.....the benefit of this, I think is you will be respected for who you are and most importantly your loved ones will never feel of you being 'Changed'. For the people who CHANGE , all i say is GET WELL SOON!

My famous quote "change is the only thing which will never change". Cos i have seen ppl changing regularly in their lifestyle and culture. Leave out America, I have seen ppl adding hindi words in their sentence after a week in delhi :) :) and says aadat ho gaye. F*** There are certain things which you should nvr change in ur life.
1. Nationality
2. Originality
3. Personality
If u keep changing these things u will end up standing in a No man's Land..

Absolutely true.....Have we ever seen an American coming down to India and trying to learn Indian accent, then why should we? Its always better to be the way you are, no matter where you are....

raam89 said...

Its OK as long as it isn't fake and comes out naturally. But in most cases it doesn't.Accent is the last thing to worry about. There are lot of other things that Indians going to America try to change. well,if we talk about that its more annoying :)

Balaji said...

As long as fakies alive... This will go on and on and on.... And those people will talk, shout and cry about patriotism and nationality

Bonjour I'd love to thank you for such a great made site!
Was thinking this would be a perfect way to make my first post!
If you want to acquire fortune it is usually a wise conclusion to start a savings or investing plan as soon in life as feasible. But don't fear if you have not started saving your capital until later on in life. With the help of honest work, that is reading up on the best investment vehicles for your cash you can slowly but surely increase your property so that it extends to a big amount by the time you wish to retire. Watch all of the available asset classes from stocks to real estate as investments for your money. A well diversified portfolio of investments in various asset classes can help your money climb throughout the years.

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!

Mike
