Surprisingly, the illiterate small boys living near Taj Mahal speak fluently in French, Russian, Arabic and South Indian languages. They easily recognize the nationality of visitors and speak in their languages. Thus they successfully work as agents of local crafts shops, restaurants and hotels. The boys earn around Rs. 200-300 per day.

May be the regular interactions with the nationals of these countries have helped him to acquire this extraordinary skill.

Yes Deepti- This is relevant in the context of our group discussion on relevance of education in getting success. These boys can speak different languages but they cannot write any. Moreover, they can talk about only things relevant to tourists like buying handicraft, selecting hotel, restaurant and visiting tourist places.

I think it is also part of an educative process- may be not formal but effective all the same.

Chinmoy- You are right. Life itself is open and real book. The books are nothing but experience of life expressed in words. While the life itself is direct experience of our own, the books impart to us experience of others.
