I love speaking in Hindi. i find it a poetic and universal language (well, in India). Gujrati's, Marathans, Rajastsani's w/e...they have a grasp of Hindi- so speaking to them in Punjabi I just find tedious - with family and fellow Punjabi's sure but otherwise...nah. My Gujrati friends wont even speak in Gujrati when I'm around out of pure respect cos I dont speak a word of the langauge and vise versa. Languages are awesome.
...But that dont mean its an excuse NOT to learn Punjabi. If you dont learn Punjabi and read and write in Gurmukhi how do you get close to Guru Ji?...questions for another thread perhaps...
haha....true....gujjus like not to be "gujjus" for the most time... thas why they like to hang out mostly with punjabis..... wonder whass gona happen as a result of tht in near future when anyone would greet them as kemm chho...or wtever....lol
