Dive marpak style nam. Even people notice the style factor in diving. Kosli dive marli vo sogllea von best dive marli. These statements only capture the adjectives. Ami atam English-n dive marlea can mean we have adopted English. People dive in various things in their lives. Some opt of opportunity, some for uniformity. But the increasing trend is to compromise the uniqueness of language. Politicians dive marlear, corrupt zainastana bhair sorunk kottin.

Old man goes to church One Sunday morning an old man entered a church just before services were to begin. Though his clothes were spotlessly clean they were old, worn and quite a bit ragged. In his hand he carried a worn out old hat and an equally well read Bible. The church he entered was in a very upscale and exclusive part of the city. It was the largest and most beautiful church the old man had ever seen. The people of the congregation were all dressed with expensive clothes and jewelry. As the old man took a seat, the others moved away from him. No one greeted, spoke to, or welcomed him. They were all appalled by his appearance and did not attempt to hide it. As the old man was leaving the
church, the preacher approached him and asked the man to do him a favor. ‘Before you come back in here again, have a talk with God and ask him what he thinks would be appropriate attire for worship in church.’ The old man assured the preacher he would. The next Sunday, he showed back up for the services wearing the same ragged clothes and hat. Once again he was completely shunned and ignored. The preacher approached the man and said, ‘I thought I asked you to speak to God before you came back to our church.’ ‘I did,’ replied the old man. ‘If you spoke to God, what did he tell you the proper attire should be for worshiping in here?’ asked the preacher. ‘Well, sir, God told me that He didn’t have a clue what I should wear. He said He’d never been in this church.’
