Does his incapability even make sense? I'm not sure how the education system in India works, but wouldn't you be taught Hindi in even the most prestigious English based school? even if it was just one class? I mean, I would think that Anjali & ASR would have had the same education (considering their social class), and she seems to be able to read Hindi just fine. I mean I guess it's possible that ASR studied abroad and therefore didn't lean Hindi beyond speaking it. I just thought it seemed a little odd.
Thoughts?
While i agree that there is an inconsistency that he could read hindi perfectly earlier and has suddenly acquired this disability :P
but as far as schooling in India goes, i think i can identify a little with that. Despite being schooled in a subject hindi i have difficulty reading the script for the simple reason that beyond school i have never read hindi...i do stumble with the letters...if u dont see a script regularly for say 14-15 years, u can hv trouble reading it..
maybe its an eyesight thing that he couldnt read her note ๐...cos that was in somewhat simple hindi...
