I wanted to blog this from many days how I met aunty who knew many languages and how sweet ,smart lady she was .I had heard people speaking many language may be around 6 or more languages....but had never met who spoke many languages in front of my eyes......
Myself and shilpa, lakshmi were roomies and we were new to Chennai and we were wondering how to kill Sunday evening and also wanted to visit some temple....so we decided to go near by Ganapathy temple...we all were doing pradkshina and I heard one lady calling me and telling me something in Tamil and since I was new to Chennai and was not used to Tamil...I was like wat aunty? then aunty asked me which language you know...i was like kannada and English.....She said my mother tongue is Kannada and I was so damn happy finding someone who speak my mother tongue in some other state...ll make any one happy i guess :)...
She asked me to take Prasada (some eatable offered to the god)....i finished my pradakshine and i went to take my part of prasada... even my roomies joined me....then she started introducing herself and when she started speaking to lakshmi she said even she was born and brought up in AP...so she started speaking to her in Telugu and with shilpa in Hindi and with me in kannada...with other people in Tamil...and she speaks English, Marathi and broken Malayalam also...I was just shocked seeing her speaking all the language so fluently ....She explained us how she knows so many languages :
Kannada: was her mother tongue
Tamil: because she is working in Chennai from many days.
Telugu: She was born and bought up in AP.
Hindi: She works in Kendriya vidyalaya
English: Most of us know it.
Marathi: Because of her father-in-law.
Malayalam: It’s easy to understand who knows Tamil.
Later we were chatting for some time and got introduced to uncle also. Then she invited us to her house....she was stranger to us but we shameless girls went to her home without hesitating....Aunty started talking about her daughter and herself.....how close they were and how she missed her daughter as she is in Singapore after marriage .....and the best part was aunty said I resemble to her daughter's sister-in-law so they called me to take prasada...they showed her photo and I was resembling.....later after some days I met aunty and her daughter ,even my clone (daughter's sister-in-law )....i blogged this because many times I just don’t reply or talk to strangers ...i don’t know why i spoke to her and went to her home.... met everyone at her home and calling her sometime...but aunty is really energetic ,lovely lady and.....she looks so homely (i meant in Indian way) and soooo good .....it just a remembrance and have got to learn lot from her ......that how she manages everything ....Aunty and Uncle rocks :)
