[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy) You people understand the communication gap.

[0:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=1) It comes because of the language barrier.

[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=3) I perform all over the place, right? So the first time I was performing in Chennai.

[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=6) In Chennai, I landed, and the first thing you do is book a cab.

[0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=9) Now no cab driver was willing to take me just because I am a North Indian and I don't speak their language.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=14) Tamil is a little tough to speak, so I as much as I could manage, that much I was doing.

[0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=17) Like, I was deliberately adding an accent, like, "Sir..."

[0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=21) English slash Hindi." Now he, just as rudely, "No...

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=27) Speak Tamil... Rascal, only then." Oh, my Rajini anna, take the OTP, go to the hotel.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=35) He took the OTP and went off to the hotel without me.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=38) I was stranded at the airport for an hour and a half. I was alone waiting for a cab to get seated.

[0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=43) I folded my hands before God and said, "Oh..."

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=46) Lord, make me mute. While speaking, I realized the value of being mute.

[0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=50) What kind of test is this? This could happen to anyone, anytime.

[0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=55) When I booked the next cab, it said, Cherappasankoni Srivatsan Kesavan Iyer is picking you up. I said, "Son, come."

[1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=64) Son came. Son had the same attitude. "Hey, are you North Indian?" I said, "Huh?" He said, "No time. Where are we going?"

[1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=74) I said, "Ah, eh, oh, ooh, yoo, oh, oh, eh, oh, oh."

[1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=80) He shit himself. He looked at me, "Sir, sir, sir, Hindi, Hindi."

[1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=86) I said, "I'm speaking Hindi now. Today, you guess the OTP."

[1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=91) Ee, oh, ee, oh. Today, your next seven generations will play with Yamaraj."

[1:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=98) Then he realized I was mute. He was messing with me.

[1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=101) He kept at it with me, saying, "Where do you want to go?"

[1:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/dE5rmyHOqNQr/en/chennai-cab-driver-and-language-barrier-comedy?t=111) Where do you want to go? I said, "Sir, I'm mute, not deaf."
