I have your letter. Your dictionary is for scholars. It has its place. My demand is for something different. I have felt the need for a dictionary for a busy man like me who can immediately find the right word when he is stuck such a man would not ask for evidence in support of the meaning given. Your dictionary is likely to be expensive too. And what I want is simple words that people can easily understand, like havagadi for a motor car, not words coined by joining some Sanskrit words.
