Globalisation

I was driving back from work on a motorcycle, and standing at a traffic signal, looking at girls driving by, dreaming of doing one or more of them one day, you know the usual stuff single men do standing bored at a traffic light. And enter two guys on a big huge motorcycle.

The rider has a very macho hair do, and a macho beard. The pillion rider has long hair. They are not above 20-21 of age. They are absorbed in a serious conversation with each other with the loud carelessness of Hindi speakers in the Tamil speaking part of the country.

Pillion Rider, PR:
Isliye main Narendra Modi ko hi support karunga. Banda logon ke bare main sochta to hai.
[So that is why I, support Narendra modi. He at least cares about the people.]

Rider, R:
Manmohan ka to bas naam hi hai, ch****ya sala.
[Manmohan Singh just has a big name, stupid person.]

PR:
Tujhe pata hai log uska naam itna kyon maante hai?
[Do you know why Manmohan Singh is so popular?]

R:
Uske paas koi badi degree hai na...
[Because he has a big degree...]

PR:
Uske pass badi degreee toh hain par sale ka bheja uski g**d main hain.
[That is not the only reason, he does have a big degree, but his brain is in his a*s]

R and PR laugh in unison

PR:
Abe, sirf isliye hi nahin. Tujhe pata hai jab 1991 main desh globalise ho raha tha, tab Manmohan Singh vitt mantri tha.
[Not only because of that (big degree). You know when India was globalised, Manmohan Singh was the Finance Minister.]

The Signal turned green, and they moved out of earshot. By the look of it they continued the discussion. The only English words they used in this conversation were: Degree and Globalisation.
[Academic] Degrees, they don't care much about. It does not seem to have correlation with intelligence, innovation, entrepreneurship, or leadership.
Globalisation - they got almost right. The idea in 1991 was economic liberalisation. Of course some people may argue liberalisation leads to higher degree of globalisation.

I was indeed very happy to see the use of Hindi words such as vitt mantri. Of course some other words titillated me. I wish they could carry out the whole conversation in Hindi, or at least had a good enough English Vocabulary.
