It was 10.00 Pm and everone was sitting at ColdPlace … It’s a Juice Parlour. As we were sipping our drinks discussion began.
What say.. Kamlesh Said.
Nalin said.. Its interesting but according to me you are right, We think in our mother tongue.
James, what do you think on this…. Kamlesh asked! I am unable to understand your views.
Manisha confused, what to say …was about to give her views….. Kamlesh interrupted “See James, Its simple One speak and hear in the language that we use; but we understand the same after converting it into our mother tongue language”.
See, When ever I say something before that I need to tell the same to my mind. This process is done in my local language.. for me its Hindi…. Nalin said.
For Manisha it might be Oriyya… Manisha nodded on being asked.
For me its Gujarati…Kamlesh Said.
In the same way, James it might be Spanish for you…. James silent….
James… You all are smart people. On this Manisha speaks.. Hey James – that’s not correct. We are in
James… No No… I know only 2 Languages… Spanish and English… Whereas you all know minimum 2+1 language. i.e English, Hindi and Some local language. On this Kamlesh intervened “ That’s because of our Eduation System”. It says that we should know Mother Tongue, English and one more language of the state in which we are pursuing our primary education.
Manisha.. ok lets come back to topic. Nalin nodded… So James what do you think are we correct. According to me, before we speak we think the same in one language convert it and than speak it to someone into the language which he/she understands.
Hmmm!!! That’s what I heard from everyone except James. Ohh.. my heart was relaxed as I felt little important hearing that I am somewhat correct and this boosted my confidence.
But James is James… it tough to make foreigner agree soon on something. James.. I think thinking doesn’t have any language. Does it make any sense…? I told to myself.
Hearing James; Manisha and Kamlesh nodded. Poor me... Dint understood what shall I do.. thought to keep mum with no expressions.
Finally James and Kamlesh spoke simultaneously… That’s interesting. Continuing the same Kamlesh took a lead… Its an interesting topic to study. Over this Nalin continued.. I think one can do a research on this “Does thinking have any language”.. Everyone smiled… Manisha took a lead.. Yes Nalin.. You can do it…
Of this the drinks got over and it was 11pm.. So unanimously everyone got up and depart for room.

There is a Universal Language of World, having no words in it.
It is just spoken by Heart and understood by heart only.
and the metter of thinking...
Person will always think in his mother tounge...This is true for ever....
Even he counts money also in his mother tounge....
If u r learning a new language.. then for learning it quickly..U should think in that language...u should see dreams in that language...
for ex.: learnign English.. then think in English...try to see dreams at night in english.... then u can learn English very fast then any other way...
hi Prerak,
hmm...
That means Thinking have language and that is mother tongue... Thats what even Few people felt but James disagreed which created a big Questionmark..
Lets see what other think too...

so its really a tough question tht while thnkng really we use our mother language or nt????????????
Nice Nihit... u made to think over it.

Hi Maninee,
U r rightnow not thinking in ur mother tounge.. its true.. but the reason is.. the thing abt which u r thinking are may be abt ur study, or ur job... or any thigns else...so thatswhy as ur study or ur job is concerned,, u have to deal with them only in english... so u r thinking in english...
from childhood u have studied only in english.. so u think abt these in eng.
But abt the other things.. u wil always think in ur mother tounge.. for exapamle.. abt ur prosonal prob..abt ur wishes..and many mroe...ur life..when u go for sleep the last thing u think must be in mother tounge.. and when u get up, the 1st thought must be in mother tounge...
In love also u think abt ur love in mother tounge...
hope u getting me....

Hello Nihit, Maninee and Prerak
Nice the arguments of the every you.
I think that there is only a universal language in ours lies and brain.
Let me give an example:
a person mute and deaf of birth that communicates only with gestures, what is your mental language?
He/she never listed nothing and none language ... but have a to think his/her self. What your think language ? English ? Mother tounge ? I think no.
Other example:
one day you had a situation following so: You want to explan or to say anythink but you know but you dont have words. How can this happing ? If you in your mind you know but can not explan...
I think this is because that you know with your mind/think language but dont know how to translate for your language of the comunication (mother toune or other language that you would speak).
best regards everybody.

Hello Nihit, Maninee and Prerak,
Let to do better my previous explanation:
I think that there is only a universal language in ours minds and brain.
Let me give an example:
a person mute and deaf of birth that ever communicated only with gestures, what is his / her mental language?
He/she never listed nothing and none language ... but have a think his/her self. What is hos /her think language ? English ? Mother tounge ? I think no. I think a mind language.
Other example:
did you have a day you a situation following so: You want to explain or to say anythink but you dont know but because you dont have words. How can that happen ? If you know in your mind you know but can not to explain...
I think this is because that you know with your mind/think language but dont know how to translate for your language of the comunication (mother toune or other language that you would like speak).
best regards everybody.
Jorge
