Laxman was one of the many ordinary watchmans in a big mall in Pune. He stood by the door of relatively big shop, keeping shoppers' bags in cubicles. Occasionally he would speak to the people reminding them to hand in there bags. Being able to speak nearly eight languages, he was enabled with an interesting ability. Pune being quite a big city, was inhabited with people from all around India. And so it went without saying that all these people spoke many languages. Laxman, having his ability, was able to recognize which languages each of them spoke just by looking at them, and he would speak to them in their language, surprising them. His ability wasn't of much use to him, but it was surely a great way to stand out from all the other watchmans.
