30. Language Opens Hearts
Mirza Yawar Baig’s story, ‘Language Opens Hearts’ is very special: “I recall Mr. Ahmedullah, the General Manager, telling me, ‘You must speak Tamil not only fluently, but like a Tamilian; not like a Hyderabadi or an Englishman.’ “
A planter from 1983-93 in Anamallais and Kanyakumari, Yawar’s mission is to work across boundaries of race, religion and nationality to bring hearts together. Cheers to the spirit of humanity!

This segment is a result of our fruitful collaboration with Indian Chai Stories, a blog by Gowri Mohanakrishnan, a planter’s wife who’s been writing tea stories for many years and is also an active supporter of Chai for Cancer
Her stories come straight from the tea gardens of India and are best enjoyed with a cup of garam chai.
