This is a good way to cancel out too much English influence in our day-to-day working life.Debanish Achomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126479008728345031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2642460953220196504.post-36548993041225894092009-05-18T14:47:00.000+05:302009-05-18T14:47:00.000+05:30Well, India, unless you live in an area which is p...Well, India, unless you live in an area which is predominantly full of people speaking your mother tongue - you will prob never get to speak your mother tongue..In most places in the north - it will be Hindi rather than English and in the south - English.. But is our identity really linked with the language we speak? I mean, I am a Malayali who grew up in Bihar - so I speak Hindi and Malayalam and English confortably.. But I don't think I have lost my identity.. All this becomes part of my identity.. <br />I do beleive that it is good to know where one comes from - simply because it is part of one's heritage. I have a daughter and I try to talk to her in Malayalam - just so tht she is remains connected to that part of her heritage..Smithahttp://wordsndreamz.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
