Script Scrape

"Amma, our kannada ma'am taught us two new letters today"
"And they are?"
A couple of seconds of thinking and then ...
"The one that looks like a bum and the next one that looks like something coming out of it"
"!!!!"


The above conversation took place when we were waiting at the Tirumalai Eye Clinic for the eye checkup.  The smiles and laughs from the rest of the crowd waiting for their turn suggested that they figured  something out,  ... well .. irrespective of whether they were familiar with the kannada script or not.
