Do like romans when in India

Well, we were like Japanese when we were actually undergoing training in TCS at Coimbatore and studying Japanese as Foreign language.
We were learning foreing language course for 2 months in 2004 as Fresh joinees. Our honourable teacher Mrs. Devdoss San was japanese widow aged above 65, living alone in Coimbatore. She had married Indian when she was studying somewhere in foreign university ( i guess in US) and never returned to Japan since her community ostracized her for marrying outside her clan.

But she steadfastly supported her husband and was very proud of her Japanese culture too. We were most lucky since we got to learn Nippon from japnese teacher herself as opposed to other bathes who got to learn German, French and so on.. with Indian teachers.

It was totally natural learning experience since we were like 1st std kids to her both in terms of our age and our knowledge of japanese and mind you, we learned Japanese songs with the same vigour of little kids and i still remember the song which goes something like - Ha Re Na Kita, Ha Re Na Kita, Nanimo Kita.

It is gr8 to see their way of expressing, pronunciation and gesture and i really think i am missing learning anything value adding like this :(
