What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet
-Shakespeare
William Shakespeare ‘What’s in a name?’ has become quite an adage for our times. But honestly, who would like to be called by some other name as Mr. and Miss so & so. As a matter of fact, everyone who belongs to this world works towards success to make his or her NAME in the world. If the NAME gives u an identity, I surely would have lot of problems in not having one or being addressed by some other weird name. Truly, author Lahiri and Mira Nair too realized it with her book and movie ’Namesake’.
When a child is born a special name ceremony is kept and from that very day he is entitled with that identity. Our politicians are too not sparing us from displaying our identity in the capital city, without which u could be suspected and can get screwed up jus like Dr. Haneef in Australia. For me, everything is in our name, would OBAMA, the candidate giving a wild chase to Hillary Clinton would like to addressed as OSAMA. Never.
It was quite interesting to find the root meaning of my name ’NIDHI’ the other day. According to the Hindu mythology, Nidhi is a treasure constituted of nine treasures [navanidhi-that’s quite a lot of wealth ;-)] belonging to Kubera, the god of wealth. According to the tradition, each Nidhi is personified as having a guardian spirit, and some tantrikas worship them. The nature and characteristics of nidhis have remained largely unexplained and have not been fully understood.
So its no use in putting efforts in understanding me- I stand misunderstood!!! And mind you that I stand for precisely my name-Nidhi. Shakespeare defied.
