Thank you, that helps a lot. Though, could you give me the pronunciations of them? I have no idea where to start on how to say them.

Mehta is pronounced like Mey-tuh. Ramchandran sounds like Rom-chon-drin. Patankar sounds like Puh-tonk-car.Bhardwaj sounds like Bard-wozh. And Patel is also another Indian surname that is very common. Here is a good pronunciation key I found from Dictionary.com to help with some of the sounds. http://dictionary.reference.com/help/luna/Spell_pron_key.html.
Does this help?
