Getting bound with loved one, is to fill in missing spots of love...
Missing your loved one while away, tell the greatness of your love...
Missing parents, home & native language while far away tells how ignorantly you shove ..
Standing at this part of world, far away from homeland brings apprehension & a feeling of loosing something; The aura of my great land with rich heritage. I pine for sense of my land, the greatness of Karnataka, India.
I have seen that a Kannadiga, would be last one to fight in just the name of language.. Never pressured or compelled to speak just Kannada and never been objected to speak other languages. I grew in parts of Karnataka where, neighboring state people are more in number than Kannadigas. We grew with Kann-arathi( Kannada with most Marathi words). Other places there are Kannada with Telugu words, Urdu words & Konkani. Later when I moved to capital of the state i.e 'Bangalore', I could hear more of Tamil, Telugu, Hindi languages but less of Kannada. That appears kannadigas way of respecting mother India & other regional languages. I am proud to be kannadiga.

November 1st was approaching closer and this day is for Karnataka Rajyotsava. The year 2008 is great for all Kannadigas, as this year Kannada is recognized as "Classical Language" along with Sanskrit & Tamil. This means that the heritage of Kannada language dates back to 300-400 BC owning a richest literature.
I wanted to do something different on this Karnataka's Rajyotsava day. Along with my hubby , I decided to speak only Kannada at its purest way with no other language mix for the whole day. We were sure of expressing thoughts, actions & gestures in Kannada and nothing else. For our surprise we found it extremely difficult to manage. Our Kannada is become more of Kanglish (Kannada with more English). The rich Kannada is my mother tongue and I seem less informed about this!!
At this conjecture, I am not pointing my inefficiency at my parents or teachers nor Government who didn't force us to speak just Kannada during childhood. Who let us speak any language that helped to express. Language is obviously a vital tool. Not only is it a means of communicating thoughts and ideas, but it forges friendships, cultural ties.Although being away from Karnataka, reading about the greatness of kannada & rich literature it has within. I am now realizing the depth & richness of my mother tongue. The vast brewed richness of my mother tongue has awakened me to know more about its importance. Our oldest language will never see face of extinction or death for we love our language very much..
Love for mother tongue will never die..As rightly told by Gaston Bachelard. " A special kind of beauty exists which is born in language, of language, and for language."
