I tried to convert into English but failed. Sawasdee Khrup, Sushil :)
Namaste, Sri Sushil, It's the same (and about as bad a phonetic transliteration) as saying: "Sriman, aap Hindi bolte hai ?" :) laa gone, Khrup, bill

It appears that I won't be using youtube, any more, because they won't let me view anything until I provide my phone number. The expression "They can go %&#@ 'emselves" springs to mind.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

I've got a google+ account, but I use my Internet name and, obviously, no address or phone number. This is requiring me to accept either an SMS or call to confirm my ID. I can't see why a company in the States would need this, so they must be kowtowing to their NSA overlords.

Even in India they ask for phone number to authenticate your account. Reason they gave, if you forget your password or account gets hacked its easy to regenerate your password through mobile. any chance of having facebook account? :doh:

Hi Sushil, I lived in India on a (University of California) Berkeley Fellowship (graduate social science research) for a year, 1975~1976, perhaps before you could say "garam masala" (?), and my Hindi-Urdu is quite rusty :) I try and remember Hindi phrases, and Thai comes out, now. I do have a friend here (in Thailand), who, if you asked him what India's language was, would reply: the only true Indian languages are Sanskrit, and Tamil; of course he speaks fluent Hindi, and reads and writes devanagari, like most Indians. But, another friend, from Nepal, near the border with India, a blue-eyed (!) Brahmin, would say that Sanskrit, and the dialect of Nepali he speaks, which he feels is closer to Magadhi Prakrit than others (the language-group Gautama, once Siddhartha, Prince of the Sakyas, is believed, by many, to have taught in) are the "only" real Indian languages. I haven't asked my friend Ahmed, from Jaipur, a Muslim, whose family have been jewelers and gem-dealers for centuries, his opinion, yet :) chok dee, Khrup, bill

It's even easier to just forget the account and create a new one. If there is no personal information stored in the account, it doesn't matter if it's hacked -- that's far better protection than handing your life story over to the NSA. American corporations and foreign governments do not need personal information about me -- and they ain't gonna get any unless it's in My interest to give it to them. I do have a facebook account (despite my having closed it several times), but that's been a lot less trouble to maintain since I mapped facebook.com to 127.0.0.1. If google persists with cr@p like this, their sites will end up getting similar treatment.

Agreed, Sanskrit is true Indian language but its very ancient & over the period of time new generation derived new languages from Sanskrit. They are so many spoken languages in india, you can say every state in india has their own language like Marathi, tamil, telgu etc etc. but hindi is widely used in India. if you ask me my first language I would say Marathi[^] & then Hindi :) Devnagari is the writing script of Sanskrit & its widely used india for writing their state languages like hindi Marathi nepali. I'm not sure about the tamil language but it has different writing script, Abugida[^].

In short, there are so many languages in india & thousands of dialect of that language. we have saying here, After every 60km we have different dialect for the language. :) By the way I'm impressed with your knowledge about languages you made me google about it ;P
