प्रश्न
Notice the kind of English Tsetan uses while talking to the author. How do you think he picked it up?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Tsetan spoke short sentences, direct and simple. His English is simple; vocabulary not rhetorical. Besides he called the author “sir” everywhere. He seems to pay much respect to the author. He apparently was a tourist guide, whaich means daily interactions with foreign tourists. That is where he must have picked up the language from. It is quiet possible that he had broken knowledge of other languages as well.

Life is a gift to be used every day,

And promptly put back in a dark place again
Life is a gift that the humblest may boast of
And one that the humblest may well make the most of

You’ll find that in service its beauty improves.

I am Mani. I had to take a bus to nearby city. I crossed the road to reach the bus stand. I got the bus, sat down, and read a book. Before I started to read, I just looked at the people around me. The two men sitting next to me were talking loudly. Some were listening to music on their phone. I was unable to focus on reading. The men were talking about cleaning the city. As they were talking, they opened a pack of biscuits to eat. After some time I dozed off. When I opened my eyes, the bus had reached the city. The two men were not there but pieces of the biscuits and wrappers were there. I cleaned the wrappers and put them in the dustbin.
