Cycling - Where are we going?

It is not uncommon to hear stories about bicycle accidents in Tbilisi. Though the stories are many, there is usually very little or nothing in the news about these accidents; unless there has been a death, other accidents are treated as insignificant. Media reports on bicycle accidents get diluted in the headlines. Titles tend to obscure the victims of these crashes to mere outcomes of a car accident, rather than a loss of life or limb of a cyclist.

A small video about how despite having left India for almost a century; the Indians in East Africa and also Madagascar kept the language and are till today true to it. And despite a majority of the new generation not being able to read or write, make a point to teach their children the verbal form of the language.
There are some who think that it creates a bubble that is detrimental for the Indian community, and yet the Indian community sees the language as the umbilical cord that remains and keeps them connected to the sub continent even though there are not relatives remaining in the region.
The 'Home Language' is something that should remain, cherished and never forgotten, cause in it lies our culture and the scent of mother land.
