Ahh the Indian English. Ok I have to tell you this. The day I was done with my HSC (Higher Secondary) Hindi exam, I was ecstatic cause I never understood if I am writing the correct forward/backward ई or उ.
So in Hindi I had troubles with my spellings but in English, my pronunciation. If you watch carefully Hindi seems to be a language where the scriptures tend to exactly follow the pronunciation. Whereas English is a funny language !!
