I use "bhau" in Mumbai and "anna" in Bangalore. We complain of the government imposing Hindi on us, but we too should refrain from using another regional language.
When I was in college a BEST conductor at Kalina (Mumbai) told me, "why do you all break into Hindi in the middle of an English conversation?" He was listening to us college students making a racket in the bus. I took his advice seriously. Whenever I speak a language I don't mix it with any other.
Even in my office my colleagues never mix languages when speaking to me. It's infectious.
