The art of speaking Indian

I am not insulting Indians with my title! It is actually a compliment since speaking Indian is a damn hard feat (in my opinion). Also, I was introduced to this term by Serious Comedy Studio, in its 10th production, Indian Laywers. So sue them, not me. XD

Story is, Indian Lawyers had their first show on 19th July and I was damn lucky I managed to catch their last show in KLPAC, which was Sunday 8.30pm (there were showtimes on same day at 12pm and 4pm too!). The better part was, my secondary classmates joined me this time! So, at least I get to exposed them to performing arts.

Wait, that's my story. Back to Indian Lawyers, it attempts to potray whether are Indian Lawyers saints or serpents. But for me, what I went through is more like a crash course on how to become a lawyer and how words are twisted in the courtroom. Another one was, a lawyer's question may sound potentially idiotic but it might be actually be a trap.

The main source of laughters, giggles and chuckles are actually the way acronyms are creatively changed in terms of what they stand for, ie (M)alaysia (I)ndian (C)riminals, the way the characters interacted and some wordplays. There was this part where the accused completely change his image for the court proceedings, from a gangster-ish,you-want-to-get-bashed-up-by-looking-at-me image to one holy clean-cut decent chap, as if a complete law-abiding nerdy citizen.

There are so many other things that I could say about the play but my last words are none other than :
GO WATCH THEIR NEXT STAGING IN PENANGPAC or SINGAPORE!

PS. Might learn to speak Indian one day. :P

Something and nothing.

I wonder what is this deep confusion or lack of strength that is currently residing in me. It neither did me good nor worse, but it definitely feels.. stagnant. Could it be a sleep-induced physiological threat that affected my psychological self? Or the pure fact that ignorance is no longer what I am capable of, instead a mask of apathy and indifference is in progress?

The auditing world lacks the thrill and fun that I yearn for, yet it possesses knowledge that I desperately needs. Of course, ultimately, it is how I make use of such knowledge to be a person with better means that brings out the worth of 'sufferings' I am going through. I do not know why but there is a growing distaste in things I m doing now. Or perhaps it is not my place yet to say such things as I had not been seeing the whole bigger picture yet.

To be honest, seniors had been great, workload had been bearable, but my lack of efficiency is proving to be a huge obstacle in my progress. Nevertheless, in the face of adversity, the ability to forge ahead is what makes a human human.

I may be burnout by turn of events as well, due to my lack of time management and greed. I always try to bite more than I could chew, to wear a hat bigger that what I can fit and even carry much more food than my plate can hold. But since it is not the first time it happened to me, guess I bought it upon myself.


I should just be a hermit.
