I haven't been to this sphere for ages, but have been keeping an eye on my buddy over here.
The call of the mother tongue pulled me out of this early retirement!
Well as buddy might protest that I'm a disgrace to the race of tamilians but in my defense "enneku tamil purunjadu ana peshartaka kashtama ikrikum"...
But the funniest language related incident I remember is when..
My uncle, aged 5 in the erstwhile Calcutta, asked my grandfather a question of usual childlike wonderment about nature,in a cocktail of bengali, hindi and tamil..
"Litchi-uda bichi jammen-la potuta gaach uug aagama??"
which roughly translates to "A litchi seed if sown, will a tree grow?"
Pat came my grandfather's reply-"Mali-la poi puch panni paara!!"

Finally you have ended the silence and the obscene monopoly of buddy over this blog has been trounced!
Its "enakku tamil puriyum aana pesarthukku kashtama irukku"
Tamil pesa kathukonga. Its a super language. Has the best swear words ever.
@ vitruvian: according to buddy 'm a disgrace to the tam race as well :D...he finds it very funny when I speak TAm :D:D
It's happened to me when I start off in tamil, add some hindi and finally finish it in english!
