Omg, its like looking into a mirror, the same with me. but i dont think to myself in hindi (was in india in until the 6/7th grade according to US, dont really know the grade system). i have just grown accustomed to thinking in english, but speaking hindi is just like second nature. i cant do it that well if i am aware of it, often with a crappy accent, but if someone talks to me in it, i generally reply normally, without thinking about it.

I CANT STAND HINDI MOVIES. I HATE THEM WITH ALL MY MIGHT. unfortunately we subscribe to 2 hindi channels so whenever i am home, all my parents and sister watch are those 2 channels and usually it is some terrible movie with no plot and horrendous overacting with humor that really isnt humorous. /end rant. |
