Years of merely reading about #SatyajitRay rather than hearing about him meant that, for some time, I kept pronouncing his name as Satyajit REY.

Sometimes, I still feel guilty when I remember that. So, starting today, as penance, I will begin pronouncing #NicholasRay's name as Nicholas WRY.

enamored by its grandest beauty!
