Dear All

We are better-off than the Telugus too in "Offspring Nomenclature".

We had this joke about a friend - Sai travelling on a Chennai-Mumbai flight. He
was seated next to a 'white-man', who introduced himself :

WM : " I'm Bond. James Bond "
Sai : " I'm Sai. Sai Prasad" .
WM : " err... "
Sai : " Sai Prasad Rao ".
WM : " err...."
Sai : " B.V.K.D. Sai Prasad Rao"
WM : " err...."
Sai : B.V. Kanaka Durga Sai Prasad Rao
WM : " err..., B. V ? "
Sai : Yes, B. Venkata Kanaka Durga Sai Prasad Rao
WM : " err.. B ? "
Sai : " Yes, Balusuru Venkata Kanaka Durga Sai Prasad Rao "

Announcement : " Please fasten your seat belts, we are about to land in Mumbai ".,
The WM missed the last bit. So he asked him on the way out, " So, how do they call you?"

Sai replied : " RAO "

They landed in Mumbai safely !

Yay Yem

PS: Dr Renu - going by your yardstick, three generations of Raos must have conspired to
give Sai his name. He had one hell of a time filling up forms - he was always lost and didn't
know how to fit in all this into " First Name", "Middle Name" & "Surname" . So he changed his
name officially to a more manageable "S.P.Rao".
