so what's in the name?

names i believe are reflective of the psyche of those who get to keep them..which in all circumstances exclude any 'right to decide' for those who have to carry the responsibility to live with that name
no powers with all the responsibilities- imperialistic mentalities
allow me to explain...now for instance someone is named grace..imagine how tormenting it can be for someone named grace to be blamed for being ungraceful..so what does it mean the poor soul has a binding contract to act gracefully even in the most horrid of situations?
or for that matter kamal, mridul, soumya and so on..
vaise most of the times its just the other way round so all the kamals and the komals of the world are the most prone to breaking things and being the goofiest of them all

anyway, this reminds me of a name - suyodhan...does it ring any bells?
well it was what the original name of the greatest villians of hindu mythology- yes, someone who is better known as duryodhan.
it is said that its because of his actions and behaviour he began to be called as duryodhan ... imagine and the guy actually reconciled to the fact....so its like what even today almost all of us do so many times ...just accept that this is the weak point in me and comfortably continue to carry on with it!!! " abb kya karen yaar bass gussa aa hi jata hai " chalo kaam khatam. human beings have'nt changed much...all things must be evolving in nature but we? i suspect if we are.

vaise i am little senti about this great story of mahabharata.... therz a lot i find extremely fascinating about it
fir kabhi...

Names are kept by parents and not by us.

if only we had chose our own name, then may be we had 'tried' to keep up to the expectation..
