APBHRANSH

In Hyderabad most of the people spell my name as “ADITHYA” instead of “ADITYA.”
"INDORE" becomes "IN DOOR "
This will be the case for most of the times when you try spelling or pronouncing a word of some other language. When it comes to “ta” and “da”, converting from hindi to some other Indian languages becomes a bizarre.
You can see the result:
Yesterday, I went with my team out for dinner at Shikaar Restaurant.
When we were looking at the Menu Card:
Starters, Soups... Main course!!
Instead of spelling “TADKE WALI DAL”
It was written as “THARKE WALI DAL.”
