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)

My favourite Urdu word is 'Shayad'.

Filled with hope and hopelessness in equal measure

Mil jaye sab kuch zindagi mein, toh fariyaad kiski karoge;

Mulaqaat hone lage jo roz, toh yaad kisse karoge!
