brahmin, I saw your post in another forum where you state you were born in India. Should have gotten the hint from your name, brahmin. Wink

Leaving station - that really takes me back to living in India, nobody else seems to use that phrase any more - sounds vaguely military. Out of station was the excuse for any govt servant who happened not to be at work!

its nothing military - it just means that i'll be leaving the place where i am staying for another city/place.


govt of india is archiac and runs in a soviet style way.
private sector/corporate india - is a different story.

I lived in Delhi from 1973-6. My husband was doing a PhD at Delhi University on Colonial History. He had a Commonwealth Fellowship which meant we had a lot of to-ing and fro-ing to govt buildings, and very often the people we were supposed to meet were said to be out of station, or sometimes just 'not on seat'! Just a delaying tactic we reckoned!

Which part of India do you come from when you are in station?

A country girl goes to New York to meet her friend who is attending Columbia University. She arrives early to their rendez-vous, and her friend has not yet appeared. So she sits down at the counter of the coffee bar, and being the typical friendly country girl, turns to the woman sitting next to her and says:

"Hi, my name's Enigma Jean, an' i'm from Virginia . . . where are you from?"

"I am from a place where we do not end our sentences in prepositions."

. . .


"I'm so sorry . . . Where are you from . . . Bitch?"

Set, That bogus folklore about not ending a sentence with a preposition should have died a long time ago, but your joke is very good! Wink

Thanks, Boss, i've always loved it.

In Churchill's witticism regarding ending sentences with a preposition:

That is something up with which i will not put.
