My friend, Kavipriya a business analyst navigates through her day with utmost ease and gets many things done in the span of 18 hours; assuming that she sleeps in the remaining 6!
One of the reasons is her comfort with different languages. She wins over board meetings with her impeccable English and spends her cultural evenings at Hindi kavi sammelan with equal ease. She steers her way through the robust Bengali family get togethers. The best part about her is that she expresses herself in different languages and not just one.
Switching from one language to another like a pro is an impressive trait, we can agree on that, right? Guess what, being bilingual or multilingual is also considered to be a useful life skill.
Probably one of the reasons we have a language checkbox in the forms we get to fill in our job interviews, asking us to disclose our command over different languages.
