The sheer multilingualism of Bangaloreans is amazing

Citizen's Report

So I’m a native Bangalorean and this happened today. I was on my way to work and had to talk to one of my senior. That conversation happened in English and Kannada. Started off with English, suddenly transitioned to Kannada and then back to English. Spoke to my auto guy in broken Telugu and Tamil. Seeing my desperate attempts, he switched to Hindi. This was before my call and then after my call I ended up speaking with him in Kannada. This is not just me who does this, a majority of native Bangaloreans are able to switch between 3-4 languages in the course of the same conversation and that is so amazing
