I am sorry, Vinit. I disagree with you (your smily is duly noted) on
this one. This happened, I think, in the US. I think it is rude for
some indian colleagues to chatter among themselves in Hindi when they
clearly know that their colleague with whom they are travelling does
not understand the language. I have been in similar situations and I
always try and provide a quick translation of what is being discussed
to the non-Hindi speaker so that they don't feel left out of the
conversation.
