Tho dhus rupaiya

I never felt so bad about not knowing Hindi till I went to US. People from every other state at least understands Hindi. Most of my friends / colleagues know Hindi and I miss lot of funny conversations.

Another incident happened @ Delhi Airport during immigration check. I gave my passport to the immigration office. He started asking some questions in Hindi. I said I do not know Hindi. He replied, aren't you an Indian ?. What should I reply ? I replied to him politely that I am from Tamil Nadu and Hindi is not taught in the normal schools ( I meant Government Schools).

Hindi was never taught in the Government Schools along with Tamil. Tamil is one of the oldest Language and I am happy that Tamil is my mother tongue. Kaveri Valley Civilization is equivalent to the great Indus Valley Civilization. I am fortunate enough to read and know the ancient tamil literature.

I know I am not the only person who doesn't know Hindi in Tamil Nadu.

One of my friend went to Mumbai. He went to buy something and he want to get that for Rs.20. But he only knows "dhus rupaiya" (Rs 10), so he asked it for "Tho Thus rupaiya" (two ten Rupee).

All thanks goes to the so called great politicians of Tamil Nadu. Is there any harm in teaching the country's National Language ?
