wow good work

Duolingo will add it if there are people willing to learn it. They have people looking at that as a full time job. What you feel doesnt matter. As it stands maybe they feel it isnt worth the effort based on the number of people willing to learn.

Your better off trying to speak the language with a Kannadiga friend. I havent met a single person who hasnt be excited to share this language

Really 🧐🧐

Menu mein Galti se mistake ho gaya!!!

It's too much for once a week in my opinion. I went to Ikea which is little further from Bellandur, loved the meatballs there, but can't find the courage to go again. The drive back was nice via the NICE road ( heh ) still...

I think it's unfeasible daily. Very few things exhaust you like commute.

I visited new grocery store in midtown Toronto frequently. This Indian dude in meat section saw me couple times and approached me. He asked me with smile "nuvvu telaga?" (Are you telegu?). I said no, I am from Bangalore. He was disappointed to the core lmao. Never seen someone become so sad and walkaway lol.

Met some Punjabi dude at gas station. It was serviced station. Dude started talking to me in Punjabi. Confused as fuck. Just gave him 20 he set it and just went away. Had to remove pump on my own.

Don't know why people get disappointed when we don't speak their language.

Even met Pakistani Canadian in Cancun, Mexico. When he got to know that I am from India, he started talking in urdu. Took me 5 mins to adjust to hindi. I was replying in English, he was just looking at me like 😧.

Never had this problem in US.

A fellow light sleeper myself.
For me, sleeping with the fan on at full speed helps, but can’t do that in this cold.
I got myself a noise machine from the US. Cancels out most noises like a charm. See if something like that will work for you.

Happened to me a few times when i was in the US for some time ten years back.

Assholes always starts the Convo straight away in shitty hindi and i was too naive that time where I'll with a smile used to reply back to them politely that sorry, i don't know hindi.. guess what happened next?!

7/10 brain rotten fks immediately questioned me aren't you an Indian?? I was like wtf and 3/10 aggressively stated you MUST know hindi if you are in Indian.. (i don't wanna generalize here as honestly few of the North diaspora ppl were good and kind to us in reality where I've made very good friends, but very FEW).

Me being super annoyed after quite a lot of encounters in likely ways and one fine day I've responded to a similar North asshole that i don't know urdu/arabic and hells broke loose for him.
That guy (a colleague) seems he had gotten offended that he paused talking to me for a while and a couple weeks later when confronted him he told he got hurt when i told him such way as he's a staunch hindu, which was super funny and dumb af - where i literally laughed out in the office. He asked me to stop laughing and told me that i myself a hindu too so he had thought would know hindi as its culturally associated to the religion too.. man is was mind boggling for me and then slowly started to observe and realize a good sizeable chunk on North Indian diaspora are dumb af and brain rotten to an extent they're thinking all Indians MUST know hindi and only if they know it, then they are Indian enough, according to their shitty logic.

I feel sorry and pity on them and used to mock at the every other 7/10 of the assholes by telling them i don't speak urdu/arabic. For some reasons they'll get annoyed for no reason and it was all fun after that. So, by doing this, few of them realised their mistake, shed their arrogance and ignorance and changed for good and major ppl simply stopped communicating with us which left us all with peace.

Us* - we were a 8 member team coming from different parts of South India where a couple of them could converse in broken hindi (but these 2 were also got mocked by these brainrot assholes for their accent, which got us all triggered, which is a different story)..

Recalling these kinds of incidents happening time and again to me and to my fellow South ppl, reminds me of only one thing which Annadurai, the late CM of Tamilnadu state spoke in the assembly...

//"If we had to accept the principle of numerical superiority while selecting our national bird, the choice would have fallen not on the peacock but on the common crow."

-C.N. Annadurai countering the argument that Hindi should be made the national language due to its "numerical superiority".

//Since every school in India teaches English, Why can't it be our link language? Why do Tamils have to study English for communication with the world and Hindi for communications within India? Do we need a big door for the big dog and a small door for the small dog? I say, let the small dog use the big door too!
- C.N.Annadurai//

Lol. This reminded me of these accidental discoveries Indians abroad makes about each other.

Year 2002. I was in a remote town in the west of Ireland. A handful of us software engineers were working there for a small British software firm (which was clearly there for tax reasons). Of this group of six or so, two were hindi speaking (north-ish) and the rest mostly Tamil and me from Kerala. As we were new Indians in town (probably had about 50 indians in town back then) we were invited to some festival dinner by a group of Indians who were already living there. I think the guy was a doctor and his family etc, been there a few years already.

Anyway, soon they found out that indians are not all hindi speakers. I heard them gossiping on the corridors "cheee, yeh kaisa log he, ye log roti se pahle chaaval khathaahe na?" etc (pardon my hindi, it's rusty). Honestly it never even occurred to me that eating rice was in any way noteworthy because it's well universal to me.

Anyways, we all ended the evening politely with a lot of handshakes and head nodes and never mingled with that lot again.

I am all too familiar with this issue having lived in the US for a while now. It was a daily occurrence at work at some point and I had to drill it in their memory that I don't speak Hindi. I think one incident which takes the cake for me was I signed up for a local volleyball tournament and i joined a team of Hindi speakers as I didn't have a team on my own. I told the first day that I don't speak or understand Hindi that much. And there was one other Telugu guy in the team who was also in the same boat.

I explicitly told them to converse in English , but even after reminding so many times they would still talk in Hindi during team huddles when we talked about strategy and stuff. Please don't tell that the other team might understand if we spoke in English , we are talking in a closed huddle in hushed voices. And I got like 20% of what they spoke in every discussion.
