The real problems are the people who buy that stuff. For what the heck is it good. A souvenir or a cocktail.

So was I correct about the company name? You did not reply to my email. I'm just curious is all.

Odd, I've checked my email and don't see anything from you. Try replying privately from this post?

How did they get the birds into the bottles?

I need some help from the Indian CPians ( maybe I should have moved this to the dedicated forum, but I am maybe not the only one to struggle). We are collaborating quite a lot with colleague in India, and I still do not understand how the names are working there. For instance, I write an email to a colleague named Vikram Ashrivantan. The Outlook data of the contact says : First name : Vikram, Last name : Ahsrivantan*, so I write him/her an email starting with
Dear M.Ahsrivantan, etc...
And his/her answer is signed:
Best Regards,
Ahsri
 What the elephant ? What is this ? Do you guys answer to formal emails with an abbreviation of your last name ?
*Name is made up for the sake of the example, I hope it does not translate to something offensive.

That just happens to be his nickname. My cousin Vikram goes by Vicky or Vickster. It's like someone by the name of Robert Ostrofski being called "Ski".

So the first name you picked is mine just by coincidence? 
Given you're not using the real name, it's a little difficult to pinpoint the issue. However, in states like Tamil Nadu, there is no concept of a surname, so they use the father's name (as it is, not like the Norse habit of adding a -son) as a "surname". However, some choose to add the father's name as a first name  so their name is actually their "surname".
Eg:
This lady's name is Meenakshi and her father's name is Seshadri, she goes by the name http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meenakshi_Seshadri[^].
This guy's name is Ashwin and his father's name is Ravichandran, but he goes by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravichandran_Ashwin[^].
So, the case you're referring to might be no different from Robert Smith signing off as "Bob".
Cheers,
विक्रम

Hey, Vikram, I remember you got married a couple of years back and have been lying low since then, I can understand the reasons.
I hope this piece of advice is not too late for you.
Don't name a daughter Arpita.

Are you not flattered ? But no, not after you especially (Please remind me: How many of your fellow citizen are named Vikram ?).
