It’s 1 o’clock now. Right? We need to submit our assignments today. Right? We don’t have classes today. Right? In many of these conversations which I came across today, everyone had the urge to be ‘right’. Most of our Indian-English conversations (especially while asking questions) seek such affirmations or an INDIRECT testimony to our opinions. Instead how DIRECT is it to ask: Is it 1 o'clock? / what's the time now?, Do we need to submit our assignments today?, Do we have classes today?
