Since B'lore is a cosmopolitan city we have people from all over India. we have people coming from jammu kashmir to andaman ...for jobs and education. i would divide these people into three categories;
*fanatics
*moderate people and
*narrow minded ones
chuckin the fanatics and the moderate ones i would love to talk (bitch basically)abt the narrow minded ones...lol..i like doin it u see
anyways..these people i donno its like they have made up their mind not to learn kannada at all (well..kannada coz..ahm..im a kannadiga so.. :P hee) anyways yeah as i was tellin these people just totally refuse to learn kannada . it all started when i came to know that one of my frnd who has been living in b'lore for the past five years knows just one sentence..yeah..a sentence enough to converse with the auto driver!!..i was like wtf!!..thats all u know..n she says...yeah..i mean..who wants to learn the language?... this thing just shook me from head to toe..seriously..i mean how can some one who is staying in b'lore..karnataka not know kannada..it was ridiculous..come on..is this how u show respect to the place which actually made ur life..too much..anyways..it din stop there..i later came to know..that one more frnd of mine..who has been in b'lore for the past eighteen years and studied kannada till like fifth..doesn't know how to speak !!!..this was the limit..man..lol..n she actually roams around telling that she doesnt know the language..fool!!..anyways...as i said earlier there was more to come..
i ended up in NIFT B'lore(one of mah dream) where u find people speakin all the languages except kannada(grr...)..lol..yeah..so..well..these people learnt just one or two lines..just for the auto drivers "left hogi" right hogi" thats it!!..haha..
just last week..i had been to mah college and we were talkin with my course-co . i was under the impression that..atleast she would know kannada but no!!..she laughingly said.." aree yaar iv been in b'lore for the past ten years and i donno a word of kannada" i was like huh?...totally shocked..some role model to the students..huh...
i sometimes feel because of these people..we are actually losing our language...its sad!.. :(
shall continue wid mah experiences in the next blog..till then..Bonsoir!!..
