So, I used to be a very patriotic kid, I remember standing up regardless of my surroundings whenever the national anthem used to be played/sung.
I grew out of that phase pretty soon, realizing that the fact that I was born in India was just random chance, a bit like I felt when I realized that I was born into my religion by pure chance. Now both religion and patriotism are ghosts of the past.
But today, I chanced upon some videos on youtube of my first language (In India we call it the 'mother tongue') - Tulu. It is a Dravidian language spoken by a mere 2 million people in the world. And, after years of shunning any other language other than English, it actually felt good to watch a video with my mother tongue being spoken in it. At first I couldn't catch what was being said, but in a while, my ears got used to it, and I understood what was going on.
And then I did a google search for 'learn tulu' and guess what, there was even an ehow article that gave URLs where you could go and learn it.
The internet is truly scary!
