Sanskrit is the oldest language and is the mother of all Indian languages. It is the language of ancient India and all of the known books of Hindu Mythology has been written in Sanskrit. But today it is just a third language mandatory for every student till high school.
We all have learned Sanskrit in our schools but we don’t remember anything about it now. None of us do, except for this cab driver.
A video is going viral of a Bengaluru cab driver, in which he can be seen talking in fluent Sanskrit to his rider. With a sweet smile on his face, the cab driver is conversing in a very polished Sanskrit like it is his first language.
See the video here:

Wow. That sounds beautiful. I hope the schools taught Sanskrit with so that it could be used as a spoken language. Although I studied Sanskrit for a while in my school, but could never imagine speaking in the language. May be the teaching pattern is flawed or I had a raw deal.
