Okay, I have absorbed a lot of Indian culture despite growing up in the states, so why don ’t I speak Hindi? Well, for starters, I was born here. I grew up here,just like every other American. Between the ages of five and 18 I spent about seven to ten hours a day, for nine months every year, among English speaking people (at school), and only id few hours a day among Hindi speakers. On top of that, I never came home to a purely Hindi-speaking environmentwhen I was growing up. When my parents got to the US they spoke mostly Hindi. But since they had no precedent on which to base their voyage to the US, they miscalculated how much English they would have to speak to make sure their kids could adapt to Write for Features!
