Hindi medium types!

Have you ever seen a Hindi medium types or have rejected one ? Ah those who can not speak fluent English ?
Nityin as a HMT (Hindi medium types) shares his experience on the same.

Learning to speak fluent English for us, HMTs, is a Herculean task though. I remember in school we had our science studies in Hindi. I was well versed with all the siddhant (principles) in physics and expert in solvingĀ mathematical equations in Hindi. It was a different matter all together that I could not make a difference between principle and principal till very late in life.

    I have worse problems. I studied in Telugu medium, spent half life abroad and most of the time I worked in mathematics. I find that writing in either language is difficult. Bertrand Russell has some advice:

    and there is a famous essay on writing English by the Anglo-Indian writer George Orwell. They help a bit but not with tense, punctuation etc. If one is clear about what one wants to say and writes in short sentences, it may help.

    I kind of have the inverse problem. I think in English all the time and I cannot read or write literature in Kannada which is supposed to be my mother tongue. I really wish I could…
