Hmph! :-|

We were cutting a cake at my work place to celebrate a colleague's birthday.

The cake pieces were being distributed.

I was wanting to tell them that I wanted the smallest piece 

Something went wrong then - I had the thought process happening in Telugu in my mind and I was speaking in English and ended up telling them.... 'I want the chinnest piece from the lot'.

{chinna[Telugu]/chinnadhu[Tamil] = small}


I am the laughter stock at work now - people around me are telling the others - 'hey.. she is the chinnest girl, right?' & guffawing at their own jokes, as am writing this.

Hmph!! :-|

What's with the two hearts after your name? ;) ;)
This happens with me too. I end up mixing Kannada, Tamizh and Telugu with English. Everyone's used to it now though :P
Btw, you are a telugite or a tamizhian or a confused one like me? :|
PS: I couldn't read all the comments but I want to know if the comment marathon is happening on this post :D
