Working with Microsoft

Written by Manas Feb 02

I was talking to my little niece today, and asked her how was she spending her vacations.

Little Niece: “I’m taking a computer basics course and also Bharatnatyam classes”.

Obviously not interested in Bharatnatyam, I asked her what is it that she was learning in the computer class.

Little Niece: “Windows, Paint and all”.

Aha! Windows, Paint and all! Thats my Microsoft! 

Me: “You know, I work with Microsoft”

Little Niece: “Hmmm.. Microsoft? So what? Even I work with Microsoft Word!”

That shut me up.

    @Abhilash: The conversation was in Hindi. So the actual sentence said was ‘Mein Microsoft mein kaam karta hoon’. This was the closest translation I could make in English, without being gramatically incorrect or losing the punch :)
