Amme Malayalame

I joined my first company (Wipro Spectraminds) in pune with a lot of hope and aspirations. I was very happy that i find a lot of malayalees out there. I can say that around 60% of the entire people working out there is malayalees. But when days gone i realised a fact they hardly even know malayalam to speak. Then ofcourse writing is a matter reaching Everest. They find very proud to say that they do speak marathi better than malayalam. Then again i joined another company as Software Trainer. There again i was astonished to see people saying me that my parents use to scold if talk malayalam in front of the public where i said myself "Amme Malayalame". They felt scared when i use to wear dhothi and Chandanam. I apologise those who got hurt but please until it is much necessary take time to teach your children malayalam else they will forget our land and language once.
