... Ravis, I say.
How come there aren't any others here named after the Sanskrit Sun god, eh?
I admit that it is not the most common name, even in India, but here is my calculation:
Population of India, approximately = 1,000,000,000
Hindus, at about 80% = 800,000,000
Males, at about 50% = 400,000,000
Ravi, at about 1% = 4,000,000
So there should be at least 4,000,000 of my namesakes floating around this world - most in India. Why are they not on this board? I demand positive discrimination, and reserved seats on AWAD for all those named Ravi - after all, we might just form two-thirds of one tenth of one percent of the world's population. Dang, that's one heck of a single-issue pressure group!

ps. BBC2 has a hilarious programme on about a chap called Dave Gorman, who, along with his flatmate, has been looking for 54 Dave Gorman's (that's as many as the cards in a pack - including jokers!) His key goal is to get a reasonable mpdg (Miles per Dave Gorman) figure - between 300 and 500 miles travelled per Dave Gorman met. I recommend it to anybody in the UK - quirky, good humoured and hilarious
