I was reading an article today on HubPages that enumerated Hindi Names for 20 professional occupations. He provided the English Names with their corresponding Hindi Names. I was amusing myself while going through it. He had some more articles that dealt with Flower Names, Fruits, Metals, etc.
Do you know that a postman is called "daakiya" in Hindi. I think that most people might have forgot their touch with mother tongues. It is the same case with Telugu and other languages also. Indians are turning western as more and more people put their children in English medium schools that do not teach Indian languages.
Here is the link to the above-mentioned article.
