Kaun hai woh?

How words have a certain meaning; and the moment we interpret one word the other way, things go upside down. Meanings switch and ideas change. We all know a dog is a dog because the moment we utter the words or see them written we have an image in our mind. Yes Semiotics, and Foucault, and Derrida, all the high logic theories are not what I am trying to flaunt. But, words like “that, this, woh, wahan” and many such words, especially in Hindi, can mean anything.
It happens, many a times, that we cannot get the right word and say
“woh kya kehte hein usey?” – “What do you call that thing?”My mother often talks in this language. She says “wahan se woh pakda de toh” and I will be like “Hello, third person mein nahin samajh mein aata” and she will go “Arrey wohi woh uskey paas” – Wow! great help.

Day before a friend and I had this insane discussion about ‘woh” both of us have our own “woh” in mind. Enjoy an excerpt from it. Within the bracket is the observation drawn later.

Dictionary gave us meaning of words.
Who gave words their meaning?Each of them mean something.
Is that the only meaning?

If dog was not a dog
Will cat remain a cat?

If sense had meant no sense at all
Will nonsense make some sense?

All I write if meant something
Will you read at all?
