๐ด The grey-beard-old-structure is an retired but highly educated man, of course his dressing sense was arguably amazing!
He might thought that I would be little shocked if I see an old-man speaking such fluent English. ๐ฎ Well, partially I was impressed, as linguistic is one of my criteria of judgment. But something amazing has happened, which raised my confidence.
So the scene was like this ๐ญ -
๐ด Old Uncle (OU): Hello Young-man. Would you like to introduce yourself?
๐จ Me: Hello Uncle. I’m Deep. Bla-bla..bla-bla…
(But he stopped me in middle of my statement and tried to 'correct’ my language!) haha ๐

๐ด OU: Apologies for interruption, but did you just said 'I’m (your name)’ ?
Well I think, it’s better to use 'My self (your name)’. These little thing shows your level of linguistics. ๐Sorry to say young-man, you have to boost your linguistics skills to a higher level.

(He was trying correct my language! ๐ฃ The thing I had worked so hard. I don’t tolerate comments on my Knowledge and Language. ๐
NOW THIS WAS MY TURN ๐ค)
NOW THIS WAS MY TURN ๐ค)
๐จ Me: Excuse me Sir ! Are you trying to say that 'My self’ is a correct statement instead of 'I’m’ ?
๐ด OU: Yes! I exactly meant the same. ๐
๐จ Me: Well, in that case, I must recommend you an sophisticated 'English Grammar’ book๐.
Not me, but you need an update on your linguistics!

๐ด OU: What you mean?๐ฃ
๐จ Me: Let me do the honor to brush up your grammar. ๐
Sir, 'Myself’ is a REFLEXIVE PRONOUN. So it can NOT be used in the beginning of the sentence.
For example - You might say - “I done it myself”. (That makes sense ๐)
But if you say - “Myself I done it.”
(That’s crap ๐)

(๐ฒ aha! The greybeard was not easily ready to accept his defeat! Now there is a question mark on his own dignity.๐ค)
So now he find another way to shock me! He pull out his 'costly smart-phone’ out of his pocket๐ฑ.
Well this time I was shocked, not by his 'costly smart-phone’, but with the fact that he literally know how to use it.๐
He further performed internet searches. And finally I was proven right.๐

(Now he turned on Hindi immediately. ๐)
๐ด OU: Aara hann! ๐
kya bat hai yar, tumha to sach mai English ki aachi knowledge hai! ๐ Wa beta. ๐
Good-good. Bhout aecha! ๐
Good-good. Bhout aecha! ๐
๐จ Me: Thank you uncle. ๐
Hence, this incident was reorganized by a huge amount of people in the party, and I was praised a lot. ๐
