Today, an incredible thing happened.One girl came at around 11：30 am and sat down.I started with how we usually do.She can speak but cannot hear or lip-read.So she started speaking in Tamil.When I managed to tell her that I couldn't speak Tamil, she spoke in English.
I tried asking one question, and she went on for 10 minutes straight, and in Tamil.I understood a couple of words here and there, so I knew that she was not saying something related to what I asked.I was just looking straight in her eyes and smiling.I kept on listening to her without saying a word.This went on for an hour and a half!
Then, after a long pause, I told her to get back on track with another question.And then she shared for another half an hour straight! The whole time I was just looking in her eyes.And I could
see tears coming in her eyes but never rolling down.When she began, she was speaking so loudly and then suddenly she would slow down.
I have absolutely no idea what she spoke for these hours, but what I know is that I was listening to whatever she was sharing and also started understanding a bit in between.A couple of times, I would interrupt with a simple question: are you happy? And she would continue on.
I was certainly happy, because I saw her smiling in the end.And then, I just got up and hugged her and she was smiling even wider.
