Thanks for the corrections to my Hindi. I got a late start on it, because a) where I grew up (Cuddalore), nobody spoke Hindi and b) I thought I'd somehow be less of a Tamil boy if I learnt it :) Coming from a Tamil background, both aspirated (nitpick:थ is aspirated, not retroflex :) consonants and subject-gendered verbs/adverbs are very difficult, but hopefully i'll pick it up at some point.
