* de gaali

one of my most sociological discussions and the longest i have ever had...are with mahim...this is one of the coolest

he said how hindi (or any regional language/own language) gaali in india has some sort of sacred value and real abusive power so its not used to frequently, not used by the youth and not considered cool and only used for real abuse...

while gaalis in english are used frequently and easily, they have less abusive power and are sometimes cool...english is a kinda a 'outside' language for us...

three things: its hard to relate to another language and use those words with the same sentiments..

secondly, the youth do attribute 'coolness' to english and use abuses the way Hollywood does...which is again less abusive and more everyday

now, i wonder what about gaalis for those whose first language is english....??

okie...now one thought from me...just yesterday i was listening to this new SRK song and there are more songs of Bollywood which have begun to use gaalis...one is that songs will lessen the abusive power of gaalis...and thus, they will become everyday and this can actually loosen power structures and the power of abuses and how we use them in a derogatory sense...thus messes up hierarchy...wow!!
