Are you ashamed of your Mother Tongue???

 A well dressed posh lady comes to the billing counter and the conversation goes like this...

Sales Rep: Your bill is Rs.2,247/- Madam

Customer: Ok, you took card (**she wants to ask, do you accept cards?**)

Sales Rep: Yes madam and do you have membership card?

Customer: No

Sales Rep: Please fill this form Madam, you will get membership card at free of  cost (handovers a form)
     
After five mins ...

Customer: Why I form fill? I no membership carduu.. givuu billuu

Sales Rep: Okay Madam, here is the bill  please sign here.

After signing she leaves...

This so called "Sophisticated Lady", was really struggling to speak in English, I have heard her speaking Telugu while selecting the clothes and at the billing counter she was pretending as if she cannot frame a word of Telugu.

I am wondering what is her whole idea of speaking in butler  English, is she afraid to accept that she is a south Indian? or she thinks people who speak English are only accepted by society? But what ever it may be, i can't stop adoring her for her confidence to speak in such English before many and making herself a fool.

In this era of  globalization,We all are so confused in adopting the foreign language, we need to know English language but it is not insulting factor if you communicate in your mother tongue.

Though we dress up in western style, doesn't mean we need to have fake attitudes.

Fellas!!! Stop using unnecessary accents which really put a mask on you. 

Try to be yourself.. Being yourself, makes you look more confident.

Last but not the least, you are born in India, be proud of it, don't act as if you  are from USA or UK.

Love your Mother Tongue, after all it is your first ever language learnt in your life

Angry Bird’s “overnight success” only took 8 years

  

On March 10, 2011 the creators of Angry Birds (Rovio studios) announced that they had taken $42 Million in funding. They currently hold the record for the best selling iOS game ever. There is talks of a movie being produced featuring Angry Birds. You can already buy stuffed animal versions of the birds.

As Wired Magazine eloquently put it: “Every day, users spend 200 million minutes — 16 years every hour — playing the mobile game. Three trillion pigs have been popped. It has filled billions of those interstitial moments spent riding the bus, on a plane or in important work meetings, and it is or has been the number-one paid app on iTunes in 68 countries, as well as the best-selling paid app of all time.”

But least many us are under the impression that Rovio Studios had a overnight success with Angrybirds. In reality it took them almost a decades hard work to come under limelight

There is no denying that Angry Birds is a culture phenomenon, but one thing it’s not is an “overnight success”.

Did you know that the guys at Rovio spent 8 YEARS working on other games before they finally caught a huge break? That takes dedication. For almost a decade they didn’t have any big wins. Sure they had some small to moderate success early on, but nothing massive. Heck when Angry Birds came out on the iOS app store sales were pretty slow for the first 3 months. The Rovio guys believed in their product and kept their nose to the grindstone. Through an iterative process they were able to grow Angry Birds into the massive success that it is today.

“Over night success” is often idolized in the startup world, but sometimes the glamor is based in myth rather than reality. Show up and work hard each and every day and remember that you’re getting closer. You can’t have a breakout hit if you never show up.
