59. How do you know Tamil? How many languages do you know?

Good question. Previously when we came to Singapore I never knew Tamil ..when my kids started Kindergarten they had to take 2^nd language as Tamil as Hindi was not there at that time …so I too started to learn and teach them. Ofcourse Sun Tv was a big help and I had a few friends whom I used to speak Tamil with…and soon I could speak ,read and write. My kids studied Tamil only for 3 yrs and then shifted to Hindi and they easily forgot all about Tamil….only benefit was me mastering the language.😆

68. Do you think the younger generation of Indians have changed drastically from when you were growing up? Who do you think is responsible for this change? And is it good or bad?

There is a vast change from my generation to the present. There are both plus and minuses. They are more competitive, daring independent and open minded. . Its good to see girls moving out working and good to see them competing equally with boys acadamecally and in career. They tend to be very materialistic which can be little annoying to parents.
