the "Max Müller" effect!


I know probably everyone must be wondering why i have posted such a ridiculous topic... i rather say that i couldn't have found a much more catchy title for this post .Max Müller, was a German philologist and orientalist, one of the founders of the western academic field of Indian Studies and the discipline of comparative religion. I happened to hear about him from my mother who is a teacher (English). Later ,when i started my CGL in 'GERMAN LANGUAGE' , i learnt more about him. I came to know that like him even i have an aptitude for languages and German was just my first go at a foreign language. Max Müller had an aptitude for learning the Classical languages like Greek , Latin , Arabic, Persian and Sanskrit. well, i already know 'SANSKRIT' and i have covered up everything that i should know about that language and 8 years of learning the language speaks for itself. A six months certificate course in German language by the Max Müller Bhavan followed at IGNOU.Max Müller was so much into the language "SANSKRIT" and it was his desire to learn the INDIAN CULTURE AND INDIAN LITERATURE and i believe it is such an affinity that i have to languages just as he did.. Beyond all this i believe its 'KISMAT' that connects me into such a circle and it makes me feel so special when i think about the fact that in a way, unintentionally iam following in the footsteps of the great Friedrich Max Müller.
