I guess Narsing Brahanpure is right in saying: God Is watching you.
But one also needs to remember another quote related to HIM: God helps those who help themselves.
So I think it's more appropriate to guide Indrani HOW to handle the issue @ hand rather than preach homilies....no pun intended pl.
Hello Indrani,
I think Simhan, Archna & Khadir have mentioned very valid points relevant to your situation.
Even though you fear that your boss "will think me immature enough to handle these issues myself", it depends on HOW you break the news to him. If you 'report/complaint' to him as a problem, then you could be right. But if you 'inform/discuss' with him of the status of the activity/work you are doing, then it gives a TOTALLY different perspective. Notice the difference?
I suggest you to answer the queries that Simhan has asked--they have a bearing to any practical advice this Forum can give you.
More after you answer Simhan's queries.
But I can point out one thing right away--the point you mentioned about being a Bengali. I am not sure if you have met/noticed any Malayalees/Keralites @ work. They have a really nice way to fit into ANY culture/environment where they land-up, unlike those from most other regions. If your Hindi pronunciation makes them laugh, so be it--you laugh too even while asking them the right pronunciation. After a while, take it from me, THAT could be the binding force between you & others.
