Private Tamil Lessons
These days, I am going to Thatha and Patti's place (Arvind's grandfather and grandmother) after work. Unless it is too late, I go there for a workout at their gym and then for a Tamil lesson from Thatha. Thatha is a great Tamil teacher!! Everyday, I am learning 1-2 sentences in Tamil that are frequently used in everyday life. He is very forgetful so he repeats the same things over and over again and this is actually a great thing for me because I am ‘forced to’ (not ‘forced’ in the literal sense but you know what I mean…) listen to the same sentences over and over again and also I am ‘forced to’ repeat the sentences myself over and over again :) Recently, Mami (Arvind's grandfather and grandmother’s live-in maid) joined Thatha in teaching me Tamil. Since she cannot speak English at all, she is providing me with an even better opportunity to learn Tamil. Let’s see how much I can learn in the next several months…!

Maki! I found where to leave the comments... the characters don;t really show on your blog, is it because, as you said, they are in Japanese?
btw, thanks a ton for visiting my blog and commenting on my work. yes, 'Buddha's' has been liked by quite a few people. Perhaps because it doesn't tell much, just shows, very truthfully.
I've been enjoying your blogs. see you again later.
Thank you :) I love your blog!! It is very artsy and I really like reading all of the things that you write because it is so different from what I am used to reading in my everyday life :) Keep up the great work!!
