But remember, there are atleast 2 other people who have given the same design but were never shortlisted. So much for our attitude. Well, I agree that the symbol is fine & finalised.

I agree that it is a half-baked design. It has its nice points but there are some jarring mistakes. For example, the cut of the pen/nib used to write devnagri script is actually slanted in the opposite direction. The designer has used the western cut on the nib to create the symbol. As so many have commented above, I am surprised that this passed through the desks of NID graduates. Regards, Vinayak Hi Naina

Exampla gratia: Dollar, Euro, Yen etc etc. I think there is nothing exciting or new about this symbol at all and this will in no way represent India truly. It is a pure imitation in style and it'll be lame to pick it as a representative.

Personal opinion in any case :) Veerendra, I can understand where you’re coming from when you’re talking about ‘cutting’ your own writing – but I don’t think that’s a problem at all – I feel that without the ‘parallel bars’, it loses some of it’s character.

I liked your version a lot than original one .. looks more cool n unique. but while writing original one with pen .. it give feeling of overlining something.. likha aur uspe kaat mar diya .. aise kuchh.. cancelling your own letter. don't u feel that ? naina ..

I stand corrected. Most common-folk dont use a pen :) I forgot about the gifted few like you. A thousand pranams. Or what do those guys say in '3 Idiots'.... :) And you are right again, about the 'chaltha hai' attitude we have. Our nation thrives on this, and our entire being is filled with this. We are conditioned from infants to adjust, accept, and also to submit to stuff. I was talking about the news reports and RTI that was going on..., with the intent to stop this symbol (atleast my understanding of it). I would like them to pursue the ministers and babus. But this symbol is done. That is what i was saying we must accept. Irregularities in selection, submission can affect other things, like who should get the money, should he get the money, how much, and who must pay a price of any goof-up etc. But the symbol is done with and we start using it. BTW: I really like what you were trying to with a customer, who has a similar name. I have been toying with my 'name' (initials), attempting different representations, particularly in devanagari script, to see if i can make it cool. You might want to consider using a different script. good luck. Naina – i saw some of your art work, from your blog. I stand corrected.

M.F. Hussain's art still sells for Crores - he probably doesn't even know how to type on a computer :) PROBABLY.

That, right there, is the problem with us - I mean that it's a human condition. Doesn't make is excusable. Almost everyone thinks, "But people have a short memory, so they'll forget about it soon enough." It allows a lot of people to preach the "get on with it" syndrome. It's like telling a child, "Fine, you were molested. But that was what, 20 years ago? Get over it." Wrong is wrong - no matter who's judging it and no matter how many years have passed. It's good to 'accept' somethings but accepting that bad is alright is not one of those 'somethings'. It's an awesome symbol for the Indian Rupee and it definitely needs some fine-tuning.
