A lot of explanations to my colleagues for laughing uncontrollably, thought i should post a comment at least blaming me for having made me stay back in office on a friday evening after 3pm. :)<br />Had a great time reading most posts especially this one.

I've ...Ann, this is a topic SO close to my heart... I've lived in Bahrain from the time I was 9 months old, till the time I came to the USA. And since I come from a multi-ethnic background Malayalam wasn't normally spoken at home. Usually the norm in the 'Gelf' is to make the kids more Mallu-ish than the ones in Kerala. But that wasn't true in my case. I grew up with very very VERY basic Mallu. But the rare visits to Kerala only made me want ot learn more words to add to the repository of Mallu words I had. I even tried to learn to write.. failed attempt but at last I tried :D<BR/><BR/>Then I started noticing that each time I went to Kerala my younger relatives would have this fake Manglish accent... the very ones who taught me to cuss fluently when we were kids.<BR/><BR/>Lol! Who're they kidding. When did it ebcome such a fashoin statement to say that you can't speak your own Mother-tongue (or fathertongue in my case..lol) well?
