Oddly enough it had gone super rusty for me, but adding iOS devnagri keyboard and following some Hindi tweeters got me back to reasonable fluency fairly quickly. But it’s a pain to read longform. Read a really good short story recently and it was a strain.

If you can struggle through, this was the story... well worth the effort and relatively simple vocabulary. Very refreshing mental break from english-head. First longer thing I read in like 20 years. Abhishek is a great follow btw... tweets pan-indian linguistic trivia.
Written in the form of mini biographies if characters, the short story is enthralling. If you are interested, you can read this story in Devanagari here - 3/3

To keep ankur company I’m illiterate in Kannada though I can speak it. Used to be able to read a bit of Tamil, enough for street signs and buses, but it’s mostly gone now.
