‘Delhii Heights’
I said nothing when Jimmy Shergill became Jimmy Sheirgill. I held my tongue when Manisha Lamba became Minissha Lamba. But here’s where I draw the line. Now they’ve gone and corrupted the name of India’s capital:
Delhii Heights. Delhii Heights.
What’s next, Mumbaii Mist? Kolkataa Cove?
Wasshington? Londonn? Moskkva?
Mohandass Gandhii?
Caitlin, Cimberly and M’Ryah salute you.

Hoarding
It must bring in ‘quite a business’ & offer ‘lordly status’ to be a Numerologist these days in India.
We have named our first daughter Rrutu, born 3 months back in bitter frigid Minneapolis December old. Just blew our mind, when every single ‘relative’ of ours from India, invariably had this to ask - “Which numerologist suggested double Rs ????” Our sincere & efforts at candid explanation was -” We used 2 Rs to reflect the bigger “ra” from Hindi alphabets - no Numerology bullshit has to do with it”. Some nodded their heads in silence -showing agreement only on the surface; some others had the audacity to suggest we were hiding behind the reason of bigger “ra” & the select few, laughed their asses off - in sheer mockery.
Numerology has become so widespread & getting deep rooted - its high time, we called EMERGENCY in India to tackle this insanity.
The sound is from Sanskrit not Hindi. The script is Devanagari which is used by Hindi, Sanskrit and a bunch of other languages. Say it is from Sanskrit and save yourself some aggravation.
Ultraabrown? Uultrabrown? Ultrrabrown?

Absolutely. Just the getting me to recall “Devanagari” took a sec or so more - I went with Hindi :)
Thanks anyways.
