Aparna and Anu, my mother tongue is Kannada.. My ancestors moved from around Dharwad, Karnataka to Tamilnadu over 10 generations ago.. I can just speak Kannada.. no reading and writing.. So, for all practical purposes, I am a Tamil.. :-)
Nag, LOL.. you will see it for yourself in a few months' time.. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe past 12 days in the new place were crazy.. There were a million things to do with the process of settling down..
