That’s incredible, Lakshmi! What a linguistically rich childhood! Thanks for sharing your experience with city life in India as well! I live in Silicon Valley, and most of the people from India who I meet here (and there are many!) come from the background you describe.

I Loved your post. I am from India and can relate to many of the things in this post. However I want to point out that city life in India is no different than from anywhere in the world. Many Indians who have a stable income and live in the city have all the facilities of first world. Great schools and colleges, apartments with airconditioning and heating, laundry services, chauffeur driven cars. Women in the city are educated and often work in offices and have a career of their own. We read good books and watch movies from around the world. We watch all the sitcoms – Hindi, English and the regional language at home on our LCD/LED/Plasma screens through our DTH.. We cook in modern kitchens inside our homes.. All of the family do not sleep in the same room, we have anywhere from 2 to 5 bedrooms with attached bathrooms. Its a lot different than the village life…

Also I wanted to let you know the uniqueness of India in respect to its varied languages. Each state typically has a regional language.. But most people in India can understand Hindi.. Kids are mostly multi lingual… My year old can speak languages!!

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Lakshmi
