Hey everyone,
Appreciate all those who have chimed in with their comments, you all made my day!
As for the recurring theme of why I did not take posts from the Indian section, the simple reason is because in the last 2months there has been very little traction in that section. Having generic threads and discussion posts does not make those posts merit worthy, which is why I did not take any of those into the OP.
@logfiles, there is no official mother tongue in India, we all have our own regional languages but English is spoken by most of us and hence we converse in that. This is both a boon and bane in the context of being in this forum.
