Whats in a NAME

    Lets just say I was born with a name.A name I would not want to tell anyone.A name which has stuck as far as my feeble memory can recall.Actually its only after your birth that people suggest names for you.We Hindus also have this naming ceremony for the child where officially he receives his name- a name which will stick to him for the rest of his life.As we grow older we realize the true meaning of our names and the circumstances that lead to it.Some were suggested by the elders of the family,some parents do a lot of headbanging and come up with the most promising names that they feel is unique and represents the qualitities their child must possess.(My name means 'someone who forgives his enemy' although I am quite the contrary).And then there are some parents who choose the easy way out by calling their children Rahul or Pooja-no offense.
      A great man once pointed out to a great falacy of world history. "Whats in a name" was the famous quote by the great playwright William Shakespeare but unlike its essence, Shakespeare did not forget to mention his name at the end.
