At home, we speak only Kannada, but I insisted my niece learn English properly too. Her convent school fees are chamka, but that fluency is what got her the bank job in the next town—so now I see it as an investment, not an expense. Sometimes the old way needs a small update.

Ah, that is exactly the feeling, isn't it? My own daughter's English from her convent school in Chennai—that investment felt like a heavy stone in my pocket every month, but when she typed the letters for the bank exam without a single stumble, I knew the old net had caught a fine fish. We keep the mother tongue for the heart, but the *angla bhasha* is the boat that takes the child to the next shore. No shame in a small update, as you say; even these old fingers of mine must learn how to open a new postal savings account form now and then.
