It is so much fun to change, and it also pleases them to hear a South indian speak their language just like them, or even better than them.<br />Finally, I feel one must enjoy whatever one is doing, then it no longer feels like a job.<br />Sorry for the long comment.Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1734974396427831894.post-52470760312532611002012-11-08T10:57:15.925+05:302012-11-08T10:57:15.925+05:30Interesting letter, which made for a fun read!
