As I sat down to write my exam, I happened to glance across my desk. And there deeply engraved on the bench was the four letter "F" word and its equivalent hindi translation. Not that I was shocked. Two years in college have greatly improved my vocabulary. I have learnt anatomy in MD classes. But the best thing, are the various signs which are made to vent out frustrations.
Nowdays fingers are used for many other things apart from counting. It was earlier taught that pointing fingers is rude. Now I know that pointing middle finger in worse. I once happened to see a presentation in which the speaker kept pointing at the transparencies with his middle finger, oblivious to his mistake. Recently my friend returned from abroad. She brought with her the learning that pointing thumbs also means the same thing. The index and little fingers when pointed upwards together, also refer to the same thing in some Scandinavian country. And Ross had already taught us the use of our fists. I now feel that it is safest to walk with my hands in my pockets. But that is also a sign of insolence. I really feel that at least Sholay's Thakur was happy in one way. He didn't have to worry which way his fingers were pointing. :)
