got it Bharatvarsh.
===========
Just switched off news channel where IK Gujral was delivering his condolence. Such Urdu.
I flipped through the Hindi news channels that are reporting the Bhutto assassination. Almost all are competing with each other on who can speak a better Urdu. Especially when they are interviewing Pakistani fellow, they make it a point never to use any Sanskrit or native word. So it must have been embarrassing for Star News lady, when Nawaz Sharif used word 'gambhIr'. I only found Punya Prasun Vajpayee on Samay channel to be using proper Hindi even when talking to Pakistani correspondents. Star News fellows are most Urdu-ized.
