She being passionate about her language as language for her is a window to a new lifestyle, to a culture , to a tradition and to our wisdom. In her view by losing a language we lose everything with it. It pained her to see the disconnect her own children had with their mother tongue and she believes that it is her responsibility to help them find their roots. She believes in doing her bit to share the passion she has for the language to her children and to whoever is interested in it so that they are in touch with the language.
