@aditi I had told I am a bundle of contradictions. My parents had a love marriage way back in mid seventies. My Papa a Konkani Brahmin, Mom a Tamil brahmin. But then big issue. Mom didnt visit her house for 7 years and only when my nanu was not well he wanted to see her and baby me she went.

I was bought my most by my paternal side so unlike most people I am more attached to my father's side and dont know much about maa's side though things kind of became fine as we grow up.

So my mother tongue is actually Tamil, but I had no interest in learning it because I didnt had much attachement with maa's side and I could manage with Malayalam with them 😆😆. Konkani is my dad side language, so I grow up speaking it. Malayalam I know because I am in Kerala and I would say the language I am most comfortable to speak with my close friends. Konkani I speak only within family that too if my ma or hubby calls else there also Malayalam. My Maa learned Konkani while we were lazy learning Tamil. My hubby praises her a lot telling she speaks better konkani than me.

Hindi I knew words because Maa was a big fan of Mohd Rafi and Amitabh Bachan. So songs were played at home and movies were watched. First words we learned in Hindi was ulloo ka patta and kutta, kameena. Mom used to shout when we asked the meaning of these words. But I really started learning Hindi when MB started telecasting in 1989. Then a 3rd std student there used be Malayalam translation of the episode in Sunday newspaper. I will keep the newspaper in the lap and will watch MB. So by the time Hindi started in school in 5th std I was quite well versed with it. Also my mom put me to Dakshin Bharat Hindi Prachar Sabha classes to improve my Hindi. Actually there I studied a mix of old Hindi, new Hindi and even Urdu as prose and poetry were there. But then urdu I lost touch a bit as I didnt use it.

English of course was newspaper and then Tinkle then moving on to Enid Blyton, Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys and many other English fiction.

Coming to Tamil what my maa couldnt do for 14 years AR Rahman did it with Bombay. I wanted to understand the lyrics of Uyirae and Kannalane. Lo and behold I started studying Tamil just to decipher this man's music. Now I can speak and understand Tamil though cannot read and write.

My community itself has a big history. It is said this Konkani community came to Kerala to protect their culture from Portuguese evasion and also fearing conversion. Recently I went to Goa to see our community temples. People were asking Goa and temples. But yes there are many beautiful temples there and I was surprised to know culture was still protected even after brutal invasion and we in Kerala dont care about it. Have decided to pen a story also about a Konkani girl and Kashmiri Pandit boy after visiting that place once I finish off the current fiction.

I had an arranged marriage as my philosophy was Love marriage is suicide and arranged marriage is murder. Murder is a safe option than suicide 😆😆 . On a serious note I didnt see any major difference between my parents who had love marriage and my uncle/aunt who had arranged marriage.

Reason is post marriage you need to live in a family, society, community it is not just you both and your world. So if you rebel around, what will be the end result.

Fight within the system I did because of my growing up only. Kind of confused child, yahan bhi nahin, wahan bhi nahin. Peculiar in many ways. Snide remarks came from people even as a child without even people thinking how will the child be affected. People made judgement when I was 8 years old and never allowed me to mingle with boys. That I will run away with some guy because my parents had a love marriage. This used to be told again and again, directly and indirectly which has affected me a lot. People had decided I will run away and I would say more than 80% of relatives were surprised when I had an arranged marriage .

That's why I always say dont make judgements. Because very few can rise over judgements. It takes lot of perseverance and single minded determination that I would prove these people wrong to come out of it as at every step these people will pull you into the pool.

They were running behind me, but the one who did love marriage was my bro who created big hungama. Then everyone was sitting and crying. How could you do this, how could you do that and all.

I was like if you had thought before passing judgement you need not have to cry. What is the point in crying, it is your own judgement coming true.

And the most funny part was one of the elder saying, it was fine if she had run away as girls usually does it , but he is bringing woman of other caste. Arrey at that time I was married for 6 years and this person is telling it in front of my hubby😆😆. So much for our elders and I didnt know where to bang my head. You are sad I married a man of your choice 😆😆.
