This is a topic about which I can write reams. However there was a recent article by Sakuntala Narasimhan in the magazine Vidura, which kind of sparked off this mail. The Nobel prize winner Venkataraman Ramakrishnan is another person who sparked this mail off. Now the name is Venkataraman and is supposed to be pronounced as 'when-cut-a-raaman' or in Devanagari 'वेंकटरामन' and yet, even seasoned announcers will announce the name as 'when-cut-rum-un'. It cannot really be that difficult!
