Both my roomies had this habit in their childhood to literally translate all that they heard/ read . This effect is contagious, I must tell you.
So, R tells me that in her Hindi text book when she read that "Indira Gandhi raajneeti mein kundh padi" ; she had actually visualized Indira to have made a jump ! :)
M tells me that whenever she gets to hear that "Woh dono bhag ke shaadi kar li ", she envisions the bride and the groom to be literally running away from their homes. They put the garlands around each other while on the move and solemnize the ritual. Only after the shaadi is over, do they halt their run! Just imagine!
Spend a day literally translating all that's being said around! I bet you would have some fun!
