I found someone in our user database with the name “Deekshita Anusri”. I then imagined the poor soul at the border who had to read that name in front of the person named so.

I’d love to hear some stories about times something like this actually happened.

    Dikshit is a name you have to get used to saying with a straight face if you work with a bunch of Indians.

      A talk show host in my country failed to keep a straight face over the name and lost his job. It’s okay though, we don’t miss him.
