My Pren!

 

One Pakistani guy was sitting in the ladies section of the bus C2 en-route to Deira today. When the bus made a stop just somewhere near the Muzalla Towers, few ladies rushed in. While there were no more sit for the ladies is available, one lady who has been sitting beside him exclaimed, "my pren, you stay behind!" Hehehe! The guy was point blank. He was I think new in town. Either he does not speak English or he's just dumb clueless. The ladies were staring at him. It took him moments to stood up and went backside. The right remark should have been, "My friend, can you please sit at the back?"

Regardless of what language we speak, we should make an effort to convey what we think as clearly as possible to avoid failure of communication. Even if the guy does not speak English, it's never an excuse just to whack some statement unclear. We speak clearly and directly, some guys might just be able to help us.

This scene so common when one guy is not a so good English speaker having an argument with a local policeman who is seemed having problem speaking or comprehending it too. Anyway, the total dumb and immediate solution to the dispute was the poor guy sent away to jail. "OK Stay there inside bugger!" Hehehe.

Sadly there is this race who just thinks of themselves as high above the others because as they have claimed they speak good English. "O! what a beautiful cobra, taste like chicken!" as my brother jokes it.
