I have been watching tamil movies and listening to tamil songs. like seriously.

i just like it and it makes me feel so relaxed actually listening to something that i can hardly understand except for a few words.

for those who don't know, i come from an indian background where my mother's side speak tamil fluently except for me. my cousins all took tamil as their second language.

initially back in primary school, there was this argument between my parents and my mom's parents on which mother tongue i should take. it was become so big that i resorted to speaking both the languages but more of tamil whenever i'm in my grandparent's place. my late grandfather didn't like it when i speak english to him because he deemed it as being superior. how does language diffentiate your status? it's just that i was fortunate enough to master the english language unlike him where he spoke mostly tamil when he was my age. i think that that time, they didn't even think about speaking other languages at all because if they were seen talking other languages, they were considered weird.
