Never heard about lakh? Or crore? Beautiful brain gymnastics.

    I've encountered lakhs a couple of times, but I'd never seen a number written that way.


    With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
    Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
    "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
    In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

    The start of some sanity?

      It's easy to switch, though. 10 years ago, I spent 1 month in India. After returning to Europe, I had to convert millions to lakhs and crores for the several first days to understand newspapers at home :-)
