Being renamed

I’ve grown to expect that my last name is obscure and will be misspelt every now and then, in a medium where the spelling is immutable. I’ve even a list of the most common misspellings. The Deccan Herald has decided to break with this tradition and somehow get my first name wrong instead. According to them, I’m now Karan Jonnalagadda. *sigh!*

      We'll think about a rename token when the date comes around. I'm not quite in favour of renaming this city after Bengal.

    will ANY of Deccan Herald's links ever work?
    Tried to use the link to see the write up about you. Doesn't work! EVERY one of my articles or middles has this problem....If you have a hard copy, do bring it along this evening "Karan"...

      The link works. The article is not about me. It's just a picture I took, with the photo credit misspelt.
