wasn't hazare's language marathi? why was he upset about gopinath not understanding hindi? c.d. gopinath was an alumnus of m.c.c.

"The gaur, nicknamed ‘Bada Bheem’ by Mr. Gopinath, goes to great lengths to come into his garden house, which is not far from the forest. It seems to be drawn to the grass in the fenced property, untainted by pesticides. It pays a visit once in four or five days."

Which Tamil Nadu cricketer speaks Hindi fluently?
No one. That is what the Hindi-speaking players on the circuit feel. Only Dinesh [Karthik] can manage some Hindi.

you're being remarkably petty. it's good to know this face of indian cricketing history although we've heard about it in bits and pieces from south zone cricketers who played back in the day. regardless of whether CDG learned hindi later, he is narrating incidents which made a lasting impression on him when he was very young.

i never intended to learn russian, but i call my dog маленький лев. i guess i learned russian at some point.

incidentally, not a whole lot seems to have changed despite some people's longing about reunification and akhanda bharat, glorification of the dakshin bharat duckini prachar sabha, interviews with tea shop boys and waiters near vellore bus stand, auto rickshaw drivers in kumbakONam, cobblers in dharmapuri and so on, were we to believe this interview.

you title the thread "i have no intention of learning hindi". i google the person and the first link i find is this. you don't find that funny?  considering that you recently questioned uppili on a random hindi word he used, your labellng me petty for pointing this out is kind of amusing.

i am sorry, i don't know much about this gentleman and his achievements. i just found it hilarious that he should call the animal "bada bheem".
