Minasan konnichiwa. Watashi wa Singharu Rawi desu. San nen sei desu. Indo jin desu. Otosan wa Singharu Radhey Shyam desu. Kare wa kaisha-in desu. Okaasan wa Singharu Manzu desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu. Arigato gozaimasu

English: Hi everybody! I am Lovy Singhal. I am third year student. I’m an Indian. My father’s name is Radhey Singhal. He works in a company. My mother’s name is Manju Singhal. Pardon me if I have made any mistake. Thank you.

Ya so as you must have understood by now, this post is to convey to one and all and also brag that I’ve started learning the Japanese. The above introduction is just a random sequence of otherwise meaningful sentences and are quite likely to be full of errors. In particular, I dont know how to write accented letters on WordPress. The course is being offered under the Foreign Language Programme of IITK. So I have learnt only almost this much till now in about 5 classes. :) :( Yeah, I accept that I wanted to learn French but the seats were occupied :( but nevertheless I have gr8 respect for Japan as a culture and as a nation and hence decided to learn some little bit of Japanese. Lets c how far it goes. I need not write much about the Japanese script as you can read about it on Wikipedia, but will only say that I cannot more than two three letters of their script(s). So lets c how far I go in this new endeavour of mine. As for now I can only say in part English – part Japanese: Nippon rocks!!!

P.S.: I had written a post related to LaTeX in between, but I found out that the solution had some subtle problems and therefore unpublished the post.
