    ...a lakh is 100,000.

    You see, this is why they are beating us. For us to say "One hundred Thousand" it takes five syllables, for them at most two.

    Uh, no, it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm posting on Slashdot instead of working.

    Your post also could have been done much cheaper by an Indian engineer.

    anybody should be celebrating that they have more nerds than another place. It's like posting up a big sign that says:
