whats in a name?? well everything is !!

The day began with me waking up really early (like compared to every other day
it was much early ) after some continuous yelling my mom !
i m fed up to the brim with this perpetual complaint "i dont wake up early "
aaaaaaaarggh... this happens everyday ...!!
i was in one of those freaky moods,ready to lash out on anything when ma mom reminded me tht i had to make an enquiry 4 a frnd of mine .............
After a long wait at this end some guy picked up the fone ...i had to wait for
12 rings ....man !! i had lost all my patience by then...!
the conversation begun... he spoke with an accented and highly adulterated english,
it was a mix of tamil,telugu n english with a more of a telugu accent !

mr.X:blah blah blah
me:blah blah
mr.X: ur name maam ?
me:prithyukshaa
mr.X:?!!?...beg ur pardon
me:prithyukshaa *grrrrrr*
mr.X:?!?@@?#!? maam
me:*grrrrrrrrrr*
i repeated !
mr.X:u mean "prisha " ?
me:*u moron cant ya get it right *
i jus bluntly said "no"
mr.X:neva mind !

i hung up !!!!!!! go to hell....!
does it really matter what u r called...well,yes of course at least to me !!
y cant ppl get my name right...
btw whats the right way ??!?! :(

after brooding over this issue,a string of thoughts formed in my mind....
i kno my name is complicated...bt one lovely thing abt having such a complicated
name is tht u tend to get nice nicknames ...sumtimes really cute ones!!
lemme tell ya the story behind my name...
ppl at home wanted to give me a unique name...it was supposed to be pratheeksha
meaning expectation !
i guess a few doses of numerology and the creativity of my granddad and dad transformed my name into how it is now...
just a guess ...how my name came to be is still a mystery to me...the enigma remains!!
At times i do suffer from this wanna-change-my-name syndrome bt all my valiant attempts
towards it have failed miserably,i just cant convince my parents...

hmmm all said and done,there is this particular bonding i have got towards my name,hey
come on its my IDENTITY !!Its nice to hav a different name as long as ppl get it the right way!
In the end it all comes to getting used to whatever ppl call ya !
