DEVELOPMENT OF A LANGUAGE...

Development of language is not abt grammar,usage and literarture and all...am sayin abt the way we communicate!Oru chinna flash back.............
Exactly 17 yrs ago...a cute baby was born in Joseph nursin home,tambaram..(naadhaan naadhaan!!).As soon as i was born i certainly wud hav recognised my mom...and can u name the language with which i communicated with her?All my relatives wud hav come to see me!!!can u jus think of a language in which i wud hav thot""yaar ivanga?"...hmm...difficult na?!Then...i started to grow...my eyes and ears opened up...i started to invent my own language...even now my mother recalls"nee ukaaru nu solradhuku ABHAYA nu solva!".Then i started to observe...my parents spoke tamil,brother spoke tamil,so i learnt tamil!!!i started talkin tamil lik..."amma thaachi..amma thooki.."Tat was called as my mother tongue and so it became my mother tongue!Finally i spoke tamil..."I"i began....(dunno where i wil end up!!!)Then came the age of schooling....i was pushed into my school..where teachers talked in a then new language..english(dhorai engleesu ellam pesudhu!)I had to learn it as a medium of communication...and my journey in english began "ma'm...... scale asked science ma'm!"
"escuse mee ma'm"
"goooooooood marrrrrrrrrneeeeeng maaaa'm!"
"ma'm see this sakthi vel is killifyin me...!"etc..
shhhhhhhhh.....i had to learn english...had to mug up rhymes...multipication tables(one one is one,two onezaar two{adhaan two ones are 2!}and so on....)
finally i came to a stage when i can understand and speak english to some extent....
My god........i had to toil hard to learn these....and my teachers also had to!
But...........these languages became fluent in practise...and my very first language got lost amidst these...
yes..the medium of communication between me and my mom....the only language a life knew when it enters into the earth......
THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE!!!!!
God expected the life on earth to pass on this valuable gift along with man's innovative languages(lik tamil,english etc.......)
But finally his purpose got defeated....No one in this world today are speakin this language of love...Noone is worried abt others...No concern is witnessed...
Without that primitive and basic language..a man is equivalent to an animal which doesnt know the innovative languages...
Seein a boy leavin his old parents in an oldage home, i felt sad!!!But wat abt him?!He went out happier after leavin them!!!!!(bhaaram koranjuduchaam!)
Seein an old man fall ,i went and held him....others wer watchin my act lik a football match..
wats goin on...wat happened to ppl?wat made them forget their very first language?
i was thinkin.........................am thinkin..................wil be thinkin!!!!!!!!!!!!
cos....some questions are to be realised...not answered!!!!
