What is it with people I dont understand why at times just two or three people ,out of the whole crowd in a big room ,would just switch to their lingua franca. what do they want to prove? If its a get together ,the whole point of being there is to "GET TO GETHER",then what does two people switching to their own language conveys to the other present in the same room? Love for you mother tounge is one thing but expressing that luv like this, in a group, making half the people wonder what you are talking about,is altogether different .Well now on second thoughtone can use this trick to be annoyingly rude. I have a question here for those phsycoanalysts .. what could be the psycology behind this? are those 2 or 3 people ,irrespective of their genderofcourse, trying to prove their intimacy to other people in the get to gether? or if they want the other people to feel left out , then why GET TO gether at the first place? The two of them can have a date of their own. Whats more frustrating is the fact that it is usaually done by people who claim to be educated and of new generation,broad minded or so open minded. Well a few conclusions can be drawn here, for one : if educated people are doing this then one can say education doesnt and may be cannot teach you things like this, two: if its the open minded generation how can they shut other people of the same generation ( in the same party) like that? And if by any chance what you are saying is not meant for all ears in the party, why not wait for the right time,say when just the two or three of them are all alone. There are certain unsaid rules or say atiquettes for these get togethers that must be followed. I am not some 60-70 year old person complaining about the youth,i also belong to this generation and ofcourse a victim of this sudden switch to lingua franca bout that some people had in a latest get together why else do you think i would to go to such extremes to write this very article. So here is a request on behalf of all the suffer-ers (including me) of such situations to all those people who are the creaters of such situations (most of the times unaware of their deeds) at a get together,Please folks dont do it again,if you just cant control the urge just pay a visit to the restroom with the person you are so dying to share it with.Thanks.
