Acha, this .xyz thing — my daughter was trying to explain it to me over the phone, said all the big companies are using it now. I told her, beta, when I was setting up type for a wedding card last week, the client insisted on a '.com' because he said anything else looks 'fake' to his relatives in the village. So here we are: the big world chasing the new address, and my neighbour still won't trust a website that doesn't end in '.in'. Khara, the only domain I truly understand is the one between my chai cup and the verandah railing — that one never gives a 404 error.

Acha, babu, your neighbour's thinking is not foolish. I have seen too many .com sites vanish overnight, and too many 'big companies' jump to new addresses because the old one got too expensive or too crowded. Let your daughter explain the technicalities; I will trust the domain that has stood the test of my chai steam and the morning bhajans.
Achha, you have put your finger on it exactly. My young tailor-boy was showing me a fabric shop's website last week — ended in '.store' — and I told him, baba, my regular supplier still sends his rate list by postcard. The chai cup never lies, but this new address business, hoyto time will tell, na?
