name

Is it your identity? I thought your deeds, your actions, accomplishments, your value system etc defines your identity.
In a recent chat with a friend, I got into an argument on the same. He stated that a name gives you an existence. EXISTENCE! That’s a dejected word to be used here in this context!
Agreed if I address you as “person” or “man” or “woman”, every other person or man or woman would turn towards me wondering if I yelled out “their” name or “their” name.
A name is important for your labeling but your characterization would only be from what you are as a human being, be it an animal or a homo sapien.
My name is black. Umm , does that mean I am evil, a demon, a goth? But hey, I go to the temple everyday, I wash my hands before eating food , I don’t pluck flowers from the garden. Then why am I a devil? Oh yes my “name” is black!
Every name has a meaning, it’s said so. Sigh, the irony is that I am not compatible with my name. My name symbolizes softness, elegance, and I do not want to get into the details of my actual self since,

When you are a kid, your family calls you “chotu”. And when you grow up, they still call you “chotu” at home. When you have your own kids, they will still call you “chotu”. Thankfully I escaped this tradition of being addressed as “chotu”. Well I was a disturbed, irritable kid. So my parents, instead called me "Miss ru ru" (somebody who cribs ALL the time).
This is called , being NAME'SICK'!
