Rajeshwari, 43, Widow, and a mother of two daughters and a son is a business woman, like she calls herself. She speaks fairly amazing English for someone who has studied till the 7th grade. How did this happen I ask? My daughters both studied in English medium schools. One has finished her 12th and one is the 9th. I picked up English with them as they were studying. In Tindivanam, nobody will believe you if you tell them that you learnt English because of your daughters, she said. Married at 18, she is now the single bread winner for her family and wishes that her elder daughter will want to become an Engineer. I don't want to force her, she says, I will support her no matter what she decides; I didn't have that choice..
Meanwhile, a customer stops by. 'Yenna juice irruku?'
'We have mango and grape' she says in Perfect English
