In the name of names...
How many of us really like our names. I don't like mine. It's PRATIK, by the way, if any of you have cared enough to go through my profile. Anyway, i have always hated it for some reason. Actually, it's my last name i hate even more, it's KHOPKAR. Why would anyone opt to take such a horrible last name....? I mean how dumb were my ancestors...!!!!!!!
They have passed away long ago.....and probably don't even have the time to occasionally glance up [ most of us go to hell] and see what i had to go through because of that name, back in school. I was called KHOPS, KHOPI, KHOPDI, KHOPCHAND...and what not. I vividly remember that someone even tried establishing a link between me and ISHA KOPPIKAR. To speak of the best among the worst lot of names that i was called by, back in college i remember a friend calling me KHOPKA... I know it sounds like the name of a cold drink brand which would surely not do well in the market or a Sri Lankan bowler ...but somehow it seemed cooler in contrast with the ones i had heard earlier.
But, i was called by all these names back in school, by kids, who can be brutal at times. But that's alright. Because i also knew a guy in school named -SANDY. That's right, parents can be brutal too.
