The Mixture...

            The spicy Bengali mixture or be it the typical Mysore mixture or the sweet and salt one...the crunchiness to munch upon...an any time snack! The amalgamation of a variety of components to create this delicacy! I am quite choosy to pick up 'that' one particular component from this mixture....peanut being the luckiest always. This is the same in the case of the so called linguistic mixture too....I stick to one language in the mixture!!
            The mixing up of two or more languages in a conversation is quite common these days. But, sorry I am totally against it and is indeed irksome. Somehow I feel that this trait is not natural and has been adapted to show off their 'linguistic skills'!
             It always happen when an individual begins a conversation in one particular language, later combines a foreign language and finally concludes in the former. This in fact makes the listener reply in this similar manner to showcase the latter's 'linguistic skills'...This is common when a conversation begins in an indigenous language when mostly English arises in midst of it.
              I always believe that no matter how polished one's vocabulary is, it is highly appreciative to begin and conclude a speech in a single language. It is an irony to show off one's English speaking skills there. It is rather better to remain silent. Previously this was quite common or natural among the celebrity actresses adopted from a different state.......thanks to the frequent interview telecasts.
              The worst part is that, some consider this as a self-conceit in showcasing their minimal skills in indigenous languages when compared to English!...Then why a mixture?...Stick to a single element here being a language! Hoping for the growth of an indigenous society unacceptable to such changes!!..  
               Stay unique!
