Ishh...Gotta learn this language

"Onont-babu, ami Cinnamon thake bolcchi" was what the peson said if I remember right, I am transcribing right and am not exaggerating. For a split second I thought of saying "Hein" and letting him continue talking to me in the language. "Sorry. Can you speak in English. I don't understand Bengali."

Gotta learn Bengali. A good part of TI and of Bangalore is Bengali and learning the language would complete my access to other people's cafeteria/restaurant-conversations.

And Onont-babu sounds a good deal better than Mr Anant.
