LOL yeah I know, I take Bollywood with a HUGE pinch of salt!!
I've been working through a parallel text edition of some Upanishads and various Buddhist sutras. I'm starting to recognise certain words and to figure out the script. I've no problem with other alphabets - so far I can do Russian, Arabic, Norse runes, Greek and Japanese script (can read all of them but wouldn't testify to understanding everything I read lol), so y'know, different scripts don't scare me.
You know I think I will. I'm going away this week on retreat and I think you've just given me the project I was looking for to work on whilst I'm away. I'm gonna get a teach yourself Hindi book and work through it. You'd be amazed how much you can learn in a week when you spend 6 or so hours a day doing it
Maybe when I get back I'll be able to contribute to this thread properly!
