chaiiiiii.......

and as usual, we jobless hostellites had gone for the night walk after dinner,
talking all the unusual crap we could think of...
the topics fluctuated from the present economy,
R5s, US of A to our placements,,
we being engineer 2nd year students are always sceptical about our placements and jobs.
by the time we(piyush and I) reached hostel,
he said that he sometimes wonders about the job of a tea seller on stations..
he says" I always wonder about the way they sell tea at stations, and how the pronounciation of chai(tea) changes from person to person, some use the nasal twang, some stress on the ending part of chaaaiiii"
it was quite an intersting point ( jobless people as i said, all sorts of stupid things interest us) and i ended up giving 2 or three other hilarious ways of speaking chai. and we got back to our room..
he got down at the 2nd floor, but the topic remained in my mind, and iwas still figuring out the differnet ways we can speak this real stupid 2 syllable word.
I have been to many places, i almost cross the full top to bottom of india while coming to bangalore and the way this word is pronounced from place to place changes.ven the tea sellers at a station have different ways,
so is it osme kind of marketing startegy..??? [:o]
it can be....
the person who says it in the most hilarious and unique way should always be the highest earner in the day,, cuz anyone can hear his voice in the over crowded platforms of india.
Anyways after all this pondering, i knew, that i've nothing to worry.
cuz if this sudden us economy fall cutting out our IT jobs creates any problem during my recruitment, i've already thought of an alternative job.
a chaii seller in one of the stations of india,
and i'll spend all my day figuring out the most curious and ridiculus ways of twisting this two syllable word and sing it to get the highest earning in a day... [;)]
