When to say 'FO' and get away with it ;-)
Am sure yu've come across this sometime or the other in your lives-
Yu talking to someone, halfway through the conversation, rather the monlogue (on your part) interspersed with the occasional trying-to-sound-interested-hmmm-hmmms from the other person, the person looks away, almost goes into a trance-like state, thinking about something else...at such a time, you can get away with giving a few gaaliyaan ( Hindi for verbal abuse) to the person...
Was tempted to do that recently, but then, just about managed to contain myself ;-)))

Talk about hearing vs. listening, is this worse?; the person not even looking at yu, not even trying to look interested ... Lol...such things get to me, but in all honesty, it is pretty hilarious, wish I could do a R.K.Laxman of them ; eyes trying to focus on yu, the intelligent frown on the face, a hmmm, even when you've said nothing, Lol, even a pregnant pause on your side can prompt a hmmm from such people...

It takes all sorts, now, doesen't it?

Cheers,
Anya
