Laya , Liya , Leela , Lovely , Laasya , Lara , Leka , Lucky Laksha , Likitha…. No it’s not like those are the names I kept dreaming of naming my daughter from childhood (If I have one) , Like Monica does in the FRIENDS series. How difficult it was for my cousin to name her daughter , after series of going through books and making use of the Google search engine from months together she still couldn’t come up with a suitable name for her daughter. It was just the night after the naming ceremony (Yes , it was AFTER) , she called me downstairs for the midnight snack and she put forth her concern. She looked at her daughter , a little thing of ten or twelve months , bright lively , graceful with brilliant black eyes with black – sooty hair… “I want to change her name” , she said with a bloated face. I was surprised by her impetuous nature at such an absurd hour. Me: “But the naming ceremony is just over”. She: Yeah , I didn’t like that name.
Sometimes you have to pretend to be a person you're not,sometimes you should remember the way you were and sometimes think about the person you wanted to be.But what are you right now???Baffled!
