Learning Acceptance by nature

It was one of those days when the weather forecast went wrong and it was my last trek for the monsoons. "Did this have to happen today itself", I said to myself. I had planned for this monsoon trek and had been waiting for it for weeks but Oh-oh, the trek didn't go as I expected. I wanted to trek with the showers.

Are we proud of our languages? Its a very sad fact that i n our country which is linguistically rich and versatile we are failing to value our mother tongue and our regional language.  Instead we  look down upon those who don't  know how to speak English. We think they aren't intelligent. I believe its happening unconsciously, not  really  intentionally. But the fact remains. ...
