Alas, our frailty is the cause, not we!
For such as we are made of, such we be.
.......
O time! thou must untangle this, not I;
It is too hard a knot for me to untie!
॥ सिन्दूरारुणविग्रहां त्रिनयनां माणिक्यमौलिस्फुरत्
तारानायकशेखरां स्मितमुखीमापीनवक्षोरुहाम् ।
पाणिभ्यामलिपूर्णरत्नचषकं रक्तोत्पलं विभ्रतीं सौम्यां
रत्नघटस्थरक्तचरणां ध्यायेत्परामम्बिकाम् ॥
//She who is hued in vermillion
Who is three-eyed
Whose crown rubies bejewel
And the crescent moon adorns
She who mesmerizes with a
compassionate smile
She of shapely limbs
Cupping a bejeweled vessel abounding in nectar in one hand
And a crimson lotus in another //

Hindi is not difficult. reading in Hindi is not difficult. writing in Hindi is not difficult. counting in Hindi is not difficult. Hindi numbers are not difficult (१२३४५६७८९०). alphabets क्ष,ष,फ are not difficult. you just consume, are surrounded by and have been taught english and the latin alphabets way more than your native language and script use some sense
(this goes for any language not just hindi btw)
