Now where to?

Day 1 of practicals over... I had a case in the slum with a muslim family, who spoke Urdu, hindi and a smattering of tamil..in the end we all communicated in Kannada and sign language. The old lady almost got on my nerves. If I ask her how many times she has gone for HTn follow up, she will say she she has knee and shoulder joint pain... There was this 3-4 year old child next door, she shit within an arm's length of where I was sitting. When she was finished, she got up and was observing her shit with amazement while a bunch of houseflies settled on it. Finally her mother came out and removed it with a plastic cover and to my amazement, just threw it in the street, right in front of the house. That was it, all neat and clean, finished.

On the way back i was wondering if this is the end of my tryst with Kannada? What next, Bhojpuri in Bihar?? After all, that's the in-thing, with our FM Chidambaram flooring the Parliament with a statement in Bhojpuri...
