00:00This one is saying, you know, you have a thick Indian accent.
00:04You must anglicize it.
00:06I like the Irish one.
00:07Now, this is one thing to say.
00:09The other one says, you know, you are wearing this accent only because you are afraid.
00:15And therefore, I don't like your accent.
00:17Now, this is a totally different approach, is it not?
00:19The first approach will instill fear in you.
00:24The second approach makes you fearless.
00:26The second approach says, I understand that one has to be careful with accent to the point that you are
00:34legible to the other.
00:37If I speak in an accent that you cannot even comprehend, then there is a problem with communication.
00:43So, to that extent, I'll take care of my accent.
00:46But beyond that, it's my content that matters, not my accent.
00:51Now, this is another approach altogether.
