Recently I completed my board and entrance exam s. During the preparation days , i gave up watching movies as they are long and easily consume about 3 hours. For entertainment and some drama, I found out that news channels were super replacements. Here are some of the stories that I saw.
1. "Dhoni ne hila diya"- It was about a earthquake in NewZealand when Indian team had just left for NewZealand. "Team India ke captan Dhoni ke kadam rakhne se pehle hi newzealand sihar utha. Zara sochiye jab team india khelegi to kya halat honge"--Star News
2. "Taliban ka Gajini"-This was an India TV classic. It showed Talibani commander Baitullah Md. with scriptures on body, such as "Benazir is killed", "Destruct America". "Dekhiye kis tarah Baitulah Md. ne apne sharir par apne mission ko likh liya hai."

Jai Jharkhand!!
People from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand refer to themselves as 'Hum' whereas people from other parts refer to themselves as 'Main'. Technically, i.e, when written on a paper, "main" is correct. When spoken, it's the local 'hindi' that takes precedence. Therefore both are equally correct when spoken. But I have noticed that "Hum" people refer themselves as "Main" when talking to "Main" people. It is simply a case of inferiority complex.
Referring to themselves as "Hum" shows that people from these areas are broad minded, inclusive, think beyond themselves and always think about a plural population. Hence the term "Hum". Whereas "Main' people are self centric, and their thoughts begin and end at themselves. Hence the singular reference "Main".
Ideally, I would make other people talk my way. But at least one should not give up on his/her mannerism that one inhibits from his local environment.
So in keeping with the above theory, I have decided not to change my speaking habits. And urge all hailing from 'our' area to do the same.
