Till my early teens, I never ever took the pain to understand the importance of leaving together.But,Babri Masjid and other violence promt me thinking Why??? What was happening?? During the same time, Kashmir issues came to the peak. I became very angry to understand that, my country is being destroyed by the agents of Pakistan. Probably this feeling pushed me to join a Hindu nationalistic organizations and serve of that party. But later I found that this concept does not have any implications on the society that I am leaving. Even if it was a Hindu Nationalistic organization; I could find Christians and Muslims being members of that organization. Crazy right!!!!!
Later on started working in a software firm in Chennai. I started realizing that my North Indian friends were not comfortable working in the Tamil Nadu, and Tamils not comfortable with North Indians being around. Fortunately, both my Hindi and Tamil colleagues were comfortable with me. Probably I thought it was because I speak Tamil and Hindi .. So when we have joint gettogether,I used to say SPEAK ONLY ENGLISH, NO Tamil/Hindi.It started working and even improved our frindships.
