I agree that a certain latitude can be given in cars' number plates, but surely, like in the instance here: When the licence no. can be misinterpreted and misread, it must be illegal? I think we need guidelines clearly spelt out by the Bangalore Traffic Police, about what is permissible in number plates. ⊕

Our national anthem... it's been one hundred years since the Indian National Anthem was written. Here is the translation, in Rabindranath Tagore's own hand:  It is a beautiful anthem, and here are the complete lyrics with a translation.  Here's the Nobel Laureate, reciting it (rather tonelessly, I must add) Here's a version, sung in the "regulation" 52 seconds: Here is yet another version of the song: In spite of the controversy about the song (and its various versions!), it remains our national anthem, and much beloved of the Indian people!

The affection and the "wanting" to attend are there, and that is made clear by the statment  of intention, rather than the fact of inability. But…

More important, are they safe? ⊕
