I have encountered few words which are commonly used in this office. Some of them are from the education sector, obviously (Eklavya works in the education sector ) and some are hot favourites for people here, I guess! They are in Hindi too.
In a discussion about life in general, one gets to hear "internalise" too often. I did not know there are hazaar things to internalise in this world.
In a program meeting, "pedagogy" is chanted like a mantra. It sounds so heavy and has such a frequently-used synonym - method!
During a team chat, which gets directed to work on it's own, words like "reflection", "synopsis", "note" and "report" jump in. Not just words, they eventually become the agenda of a day / week.
"Avlokan", "Vishleshan" and few other similar sounding Hindi words come up in inter group meeting and I along with one colleague get confused as to what they mean!
There is a phrase which I repeat often after coming here, "there's so much to learn". I realize I know so less.
And the favourite word, for now, is "tolerance". In a one-to-one discussion with one of my colleagues, it came out that to love oneself does not only imply "pampering oneself".
It means to tolerate your nonsense to such an extent that you acknowledge and then accept it. And still love yourself. I had never thought of loving myself means so deep.
In her words, it is like, how you love your child. It explained everything.
