[ It's a small, plump girl nervously glancing at the camera. One hand twirls her hair endlessly, while the other stiffly holds the iphone. It takes her a while to speak, but when she does, her voice is endlessly soft, accented heavily. If you recognize a southern German accent, she is basically a stereotype of it. ]

Um... Hello, someone. I am not understanding... the making of film here... [ Her hand moves from her hair to try and indicate the screen. After a few moments, the English comes to her: ] on small-internet. Netverk? I had numbers, and it put me here? Who does make this? I... Sorry, sorry. But...

[ It seems she's losing her nerve. If it was possible for her voice to go quieter, it does. ]

My English isn't so good. I only want to say hello. And, um... Ask what this means? The netverk and... Sorry. [ Hand back to twirling her hair. It's obvious she's too nervous to continue. She glances away briefly before turning her video function off. ]

You give up your social life, but in return you save lives. I think that's incredibly noble. I'm certain there are many people out there who are grateful to you and your work.

[normally hesitant about giving out his name in public like this, buuuut what are the odds of anybody else on the boards knowing enough Devanagari to read it? this is basically as private as a public conversation can get, in his book.]

Ravindra Savarna.
