For some reasons Venkattap is toooooooo eager to make
boundary with the thorny plants and clear all the thorny plants from the site.
I explained to him we cannot yet finally put boundary as survey is pending – in
a day 4-5 times he will tell me “sara pak ker dalta ho and sab kanta boundary
pe dal data ho”. Yesterday, I told him “LISTEN………”. And after some time like a
child he again repeated the same. Asa exploded with laughter seeing my face
after all this LISTEN. Now I just listen
to him and say “no, not now”. More than me, he is waiting for survey J
Sriram, our mason is learning to deal with my inability to
understand his language. Sometimes he literally pulls his hairs on the site,
when I give him blank looks after he explains to me the whole ramayan of his
work. First he will pull his hairs, then look for someone who can converse with
me in some broken English, Kannada…………..He thinks I still know a bit of Kannada
with my sawlpa and erdu knowledge. Yesterday finally he drew on the ground and
explained to me J
We both are exploring many ways of communicating.
