I want to be a polyglot! (Don't laugh!). I am serious. I dream about being one. I thought of starting with South Indian languages first. The reason being I have tried my hand at Malayalam and Telugu, so want to finish the incomplete activity first. Hope this time the plan will not be blessed by 'Procrastination'!. Long back someone from North India had inspired me by her dedication to learn one of the South Indian languages (Kannada)! One fine day this known stranger came out of nowhere and rekindled the desire in my heart. So this time I sincerely want to give it a go.
Of late, a friend has agreed to teach me Malayalam. This is dedicated to that friend.
Gone were the days when I had this craze,
An unknown Zeal to learn a new language..
I tried my hand at the language of God's Own Country!
Futility of my assay! I realized it after a scrutiny..
There was no teacher to aim further, and nurture the desire
You being a Keralite made it lot easier..
The magic of the mail 'God and Keralite',
Gave this insight, why shouldn't I ask you to instruct!
No intention to disturb you and your solitude,
This is to the Guru!, to express my gratitude.

Hindi is on priority.. you are doing good job there..!! Thanks.. Keep up the good work..:)
ReplyDeleteI will contact you for Marathi lessons once I am done with Telugu and Malayalam ;).
