Perhaps in future, people like us will be the majority while, those who live in one place and have only one identity will be the odd ones! :)Sunil Deepakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781674474022699458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346538939409399890.post-17749601416441281212011-06-11T06:52:30.567+02:002011-06-11T06:52:30.567+02:00I enjoyed reading this post.

I grew up in different Indian states as my father had a transferable job- so I picked up Bengali, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil But unlike you the language of my childhood is Bengali and not Tamil my mother tongue. Casual conversation language is Hindi ( though living as I do in Chennai I rarely get to speak it). But sadly the language that I speak most in these days is English. We speak it so much at home that our daugther is neither fluent in Tamil nor Malayalam ( my husband's native tongue)! Somewhere I feel sad because we have the opportunity to speak and experience so many languages in our country. I dont read much poetery though literature is something that I can appreciate best in English and Bengali.Meera Sundararajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584671517551652378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346538939409399890.post-6367906497442169542011-06-10T13:40:37.826+02:002011-06-10T13:40:37.826+02:00Enjoyed reading the post.

Life is so short to enjoy completely but such people are poked every now and then with such questions. <br /><br />Regards, <br /><br />.ZEALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046257625059781313noreply@blogger.com
