The Power of Language

Man I wish I knew my native tongue! I mean I cant speak Punjabi(there is no accent..no fluency..nothing!)...I cant speak Hindi in its purest form...it sucks!
The other day I was talking to the guy putting up the tents...and I couldn't get him to do things the way that i wanted him to...in comes dad...and Punjabi does the trick...after a few minutes spent talking about life in Punjab...he is working twice as hard to get things in order...

English can never match the power of Indian languages!

What I take away from the incident: learn to speak Punjabi more fluently....

I feel the same way about Punjabi. But I can speak Hindi fluently. Where did you grow up (considering you can't speak Hindi fluently?)
