Live Positive Way

Hindi - you may wonder what's its relation with positivity!  It has in my life.

When I was so young I was interested in all art forms. Music, dance, painting, handwork everything..... Being in a middle class family and with father's financial constraints was not able to learn anything.  When I requested my dad for some extracurricular classes he just put forth an option of learning Hindi since it can benefit me in future.  As it was forcefully enforsed initially I was not interested in learning this language.  But since my childhood I always believed whatever happens is for my good and hence I started learning it.  Slowly got interest in it, thanks to my Hindi teachers.

As years passby, I started connecting all my favorite hobbies like music, dance to Hindi.  Singing Hindi songs for my friends and learning Bollywood dances by myself, I ended up doing stage performances in school, college, my office and still it continues...

When I landed in the Capital City for my job, I was by then fluent in Hindi and was easily accepted by my colleagues.  Hindi language has earned me appreciations for being a good singer, got me many good friends, some muh-bola bhais and many happiness........

I now think like a North Indian woman.  Baingan-ka-barta, methi parata, paneer sabjiyan have become a part of my daily cooking recipes.  Garba, bangra and dandiya flows in my blood.  Star plus, Colors, B4U music has created a prominent space in my heart.  Many a times my husband suspects of transmigration of a North Indian soul into my body.   

Today I dont feel bad for not able to pursue proper music & dance classes and when someone asks me what's my mother's tongue I used to tell them I have both mother tongue Tamil and father tongue Hindi.  Its always up to us to decide anything in either ways, positive or negative. If we always choose positive way of accepting things we can stay content and at peace and happiness continues......
