Born and bought up in Kerala was the proudest thing I have. But when it comes to my English accent, it is not very proud feeling. I have, rather I had prominent Malayalam twist. Now it is reduced after staying away from home about 14 years.
But still I do have this South Indian tune. My daughter born and bought up out Kerala, same time her mother also born and bought up out side Kerala. So My wife, has a neutral accent but she has a english accent Malayalam. My daughter who born and bought up outside kerala, plus groomed by my wife has only English accent, She wont even talk malayalam.
It is creating problem from me, when go to my home town. My father to my neighbors do not want to talk to her. All have only smile and escape from her. We, Keralites wont learn English but wont accept that we dont know that language.
I had the same problem, thats why, I took more time to learn other language.
But thats not my problem now. When my daughter speak, our apartment mates greet her and talk to us.
then they will say, she has a good accent!
Who is she?
My daughter !
Really !!
Yes man, a father and a daughter can have different accent!!
