My name

My sister was the one who named me. Thankfully she didn't come up with something hideous or crazy ! It was the name of her favorite teacher, and that's how I got it. It has two meanings but the one I like more is 'the tip of a flame'. The other is, a tuft of hair. It also means 'deer' in Japanese..someone told me that once so I don't know if its actually true.

I personally do not know anyone by the same name. So to me it is unique. Friends of friends, TV star, Sports persons.... but no one who I have actually seen or spoken to. Thats got me pretty kicked.
I don't know if I would have hated to have a common name, but I like mine. Its simple, and nice. The most common name in my work place is Gauri ! I mean, we have like 6. Also, Gaurav & Amit among the men ! Just too many of them.

I know, I know.. ' Whats in a name?'... but thank god my sister wasn't inspired by a typically traditional name like padmalakshmi, shreelatha etc etc. Thank God !!!
