My hotel is just off a road called Brigade Road. So you would think that it is simple to ask the rickshaw drive for Brigade Road when leaving the office in the evening. But nothing is quite so simple. I just get greeted with a stare. So I repeat....Brigade Road. Another stare. And this goes on for a few times until the driver says "Briggerd Road".
I'm learning Indian English very fast and clearly my educated Queen's English needs some tailoring. Such are the delights of living and working in Bangalore!! We Brits were here for 200 years and this is clearly the Indian revenge on us!!
