Pramod Joshii of Dainik Hindustan, Delhi

Promod Joshii is a Senior Editor. I find him most readable. He seems unconventional and non-traditional. Actually, I don't like traditions much and conventions are mostly too buggy for me.

His article of the day that deals with Roman Script for Hindi and other Indian languages is excellent.

I don't have much to add to all that he has written; but, I have always wondered why Indians are still tied to the British legacy of writing "ch" [as in channel] instead of just "c"! Why the "rh" [parhna - reading] and not "Dh" [paDhana], its "keera" [insect/bug] and not "kiiDa", why the long sound of E is "ee" and not "ii", etc!

Well, Joshii could start with his paper, those at Dainik Hindustan could drop that "khaDii paaii" and start using a period [.] for puurN viraam!

But, I know, Hindivaalaas will not pay attention! Even the educated elite like to say behind my back "pataa na, ye kaisii baat karai?" .. I find it funny that they find my assertions funny!

Coming back to Pramod Joshii, well done, you're doing a great job. I read you every week.
