Re: my first experience....
yes there is something abt urdu or maybe we should say one's mother tongue thats y when strangers from same culture meet each other in a group of multicultural ppl they get excited n seems eager to communicate.likewise my husband is punjabi n i understand but don't speak punjabi so he sometimes says yaar tum se urdu bole bole ker mera mun tehra ho jata hai so i always tell chalo mujhay punjabi seekha do.:)
