Its "A for ˈa-pəl " not "A for Aa-pill"

Thats what you are made to learn after you enter a BPO MNC(read as BPOs, whose presence covers the vast expanses of two countries, sometimes only one country), at least for the mortals who can't speak english the american way...oops can't speak with a 'neutral accent'. The story doesn't end with Ah-pill, but ends with Z (not ZED, its ZEE) for Zee-bra.

My mom used to say 'it was tough getting you to speak let alone reciting the rhymes or alphabets". I used to think "how smart am I to have reached schooling without doing any of that!". Later on I got to know there existed something called 'promotion'.

One fine day I found myself singing "A B C D E F G.... Z", against my wishes. I was doing that in a training institute, where I was sent to learn speaking english the propah way, cause the BPO that recruited me realised I lacked the neutral accent. In ischool I missed on the classes of grammar and always felt that a heavenly force saved me from those. When grammar classes began in the institute, I realised that hand aint protecting me no more. I did everything that I skipped at school, be it talking on a topic without giving much thought to what comes out of the mouth(some call it extempore), arguing wildly about points that make no sense at all and many such extra-curricular activities.

Contrary to the script.....I actually learnt a few things in the training, eventually forgot them soon enough, cause as they could do a harmful thing of helping me out someday. By the end of those eventful days..realisation dawned upon me that 'kuch paane ke liye kuch khona padtha hai'. Learnt the actual meaning of the phrase, but not the lesson.

*Realisations and Morals will be a regular feature :p.

**I love Bpos..now, all ye perverted souls don't start thinking otherwise.
