Discussion Groups / English Usage / January 2004Kumble makes Aussies tumblay
Well, for just this day (and hopefully tomorrow) we should pronounce "tumble" as "tumblay". Yes, it would be quite cricket to do so. In patriotic glee, Arindam Banerjee. > Well, for just this day (and hopefully tomorrow) we should pronounce > "tumble" as "tumblay". > Yes, it would be quite cricket to do so. > In patriotic glee, > Arindam Banerjee.

The "e" is pronounced as "ay" in Hawaiian words. As an example, the state bird of Hawaii is the nene (pronounced "nay-nay"). http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_520752,0008.htm Namaste, and Aloha from Hawaii, Jai Maharaj http://www.mantra.com/jyotish http://www.mantra.com/jai Om Shanti >Well, for just this day (and hopefully tomorrow) we should pronounce >"tumble" as "tumblay".

BBC reported not too far back that brits are embarrassed with commonwealth, with all its colonial connotations, and feel that this deadhorse needs to be buried. In effect, the only thing common there is that britain is hoarding its colonial loot from all the member countries who seem to have bought into the illusion that the loot is commonwealth. >Playing cricket means playing fair, > and that is something getting increasingly unheard of these days. any sport is supposed to about fairness. cricket is for, of and by the idle idiots, and idle idiots can do no more than seigh when they see unfairness. hindus are known to have realized many truths, but failed here; mahatma gandhi was a fan of tolstroy, but failed to bring home his message on cricket. If it weren't for curry, britain would be chutney. > > They got their empire because of cricket, and the Commonwealth may be > > more lasting than their empire. > > BBC reported not too far back that brits are embarrassed with commonwealth, > with all its colonial connotations, and feel that this deadhorse needs to be > buried. It is not the British Commonwealth any more, it is just the Commonwealth. A group of nations who have shared traditions and language, and who can form an effective trading block with mutual favouritism. A lot of opportunities could be opened with this political situation. Mainly, there could be a transfer of cheap goods and services from the poor countries to the rich, and transfer of investment money, workskills, and knowhow from the rich to the poor. So that, over time, a parity in economic relations is achieved. > In effect, the only thing common there is that britain is hoarding > its colonial loot from all the member countries who seem to have bought into > the illusion that the loot is commonwealth. No. Read what I have written above. Unnecessary and useless bickering about past events, relating to crimes and insults, do not help our future. Singapore shows how the British systems did very well ultimately for a poor divided people. Just compare Singpore with Calcutta over the last fifty years. They had Lee, and we had and still have our precious Jyoti Babu. Certainly in their time the British robbed what they could from Singapore, but despite all that the Singaporeans have gained, and will keep on consolidating from the gains, by adopting better methods and practices obtained from the imperial existence of Great Britain, exerted directly - and not remotely via corrupt local bootlicking stooges. The sooner Indians understand this, the better. > >Playing cricket means playing fair, > > and that is something getting increasingly unheard of these days. > > any sport is supposed to about fairness. cricket is for, of and by the idle > idiots, and idle idiots can do no more than seigh when they see unfairness.

Right now, free market trumps traditional brit socialism-colonialism by miles. remember mukti (freedom) is a well cherished hindu ideal, even spiritually speaking, no? >Just compare Singpore with > Calcutta over the last fifty years.
