You guys won't believe it, but I picked up Tamil when I was around 12 or 13! No Tamil education in school, so I picked it up from mom. Yen intha aruvam? Cinema. There were lots of backdated movie magazines and we were frustrated because we can't read the Tamil section (two sections, another in Tamil, and earlier ones even had Malay section). I try my best to speak and pronounce well, but sometimes there'd be error. In fact, a then-new colleague remarked that I speak Tamil differently, the style, like (he actually said this) "Major Sundararajan"
