Quotes of the day - Don't know my mother tongue, and proud of it.

Illiteracy is seldom declared proudly, unless you are a metro citizen of India, declaring your Hindi illiteracy. 

************

I rarely judge, but one has to work really hard to not know one's mother tongue. 

************* 

Ignorance because of lack of opportunity deserves support. Ignorance because of unwillingness to learn deserves understanding, but pride in the latter kind of ignorance deserves whole hearted laughter. 

**************** 

One is rarely judgemental, but to not know one's mother tongue and then to be proud of that illiteracy, is, as Poirot would put it, Twice imbecile.

I would use a Sanskrit reference, but like, you wouldn't get it.
