Well written 👏🏽. Thank you. As a Tamilian who grew up in Bombay or Mumbai as it is known now, we spoke Tamil at home, but never exposed outside. Imagine our surprise as newly weds, living in Singapore, we experienced the same feeling you express so well in your article. My wife grew up in Chennai and is fluent in writing and speaking and reading Tamil and I, who could only speak the language and read very slowly, experienced joy, which I had not even experienced, even within India.
