but i was lucky to get few friends who were totally opposite form the crowd and loved me like anything. We became very close friends and still are. they used to disscuss their affairs, family matters and office problems with me. actually its really your luck to get good friends anywhere which makes your opinion. i still miss those days and miss my friends. i really loved my stay in chennai because there i could learn lots of things. i could explore how i can manage with people and can make them friend.however it took lots of hard work. first one year was horrible. but if you think all are our brothers and we cannot live without them all problems are over.
and after marriage i came to bangalore. and i should really appreciate people here. its true people here have more acceptance. If i go anywhere and try to speak in kannada theyknow i do not know propr kannada, they will answer in hindi that too very lovingly. even autodrivers. and in family also that too kannada brahmins, all have accepted me like anything. they love me so much not only my immediate inlaws but other far relatives too. whenever i go for their functions, they will call me for everything, they will explain every custom and will translate each and evrything they talk even in big group. i never felt sidelined. i never needed to ask them to translate for me. now i understand kannada. and they are not arrogant also. so it wrong if some one says that people in karnataka are not of mingling nature.
