strange that some news articles address the new French PM Dominique de Villepin as de Villepin..it is like Amrutha from chennai being addressed as Ms.from chennai :)
@Anti:I am not sure if I quite got what you were saying. I guess a lot of Indians do know french..which means..they wouldn't call Dominique de Villepine as Mr.de Villepine? @Badri:Thanks for the article.

Telegu people have their village names as last names. If they can take it, anybody can take it.
