Interesting thing happened yesterday, I was whining over phone to my mom ,about how I am not able to speak my mother tongue ‘Marathi’. Rather I was complaining to my mom that I am not able to express myself clearly and lucidly when I spoke in marathi. Usually not being a cry baby, I usually don’t whine a lot and whenever I do it has to do with my life or destiny and not about my qualities and abilities .,what to say , I have thing called ‘Ego’ filled right upto rim. Between my mom responded in her usual classic way, reiterating that it was what so ever not my fault and reasoning that it doesn’t matter whether I am able to speak Marathi properly or not till the time I am able to speak English fluently when no one other in family couldn’t .
I always knew that I am not able to properly speak in Marathi but it was just this time that I was able to exactly pinpoint the flaw that I was rather not able to express my feelings in my mother tongue ‘Marathi’. This completely explain the "reviews" about myself I get from maharastrain girls .
More so, people even say that I don’t look like a maharastrian by features and futhur my surname “choudhary” doesn’t help the cause. Nevertheless is not that I don’t intent to speak my mother tongue fluently and flawlessly. And mind you it’s not something I am proud of (not able to speak Marathi) but earnest efforts are needed to be made from my side. And this time I think want to do it.
