Many times I am asked how I chose my baby's name. I am told it is a beautiful name ( although many say it is too long too ! :) ). They are weirded out when I mention that I chose this name when I was in my 8th std. It was serendipity. I was just having a fine summer day looking at the blue blue sky and this name popped into my head along with the name Prakurti as good names.
I thought ; if I ever married and had a child and a girl at that, I would name her one of these two names. Along the way I lost interest in the name Prakurti. :) [ No such thing luck with a boy's name !! :) ]
My signature : In high school as an exercise from our school - we were to open a bank account in our names ( a practical lesson ) - so we had to go to the local bank , ask for account opening forms etc ... and for this - my group - a bunch of 4 girls seriously spent one lunch period deciding and then perfecting our signatures for the said bank account.
Our requirements were simple - we would not neatly write our names , it would be individualized and we would not include our surnames since we did not want to change our signature when we got married ! :)
Now this was at an age where most of us thought of marriage as nothing but the most stupid thing to do !! And yet we were practical enough to realize that ... life is life ... we never knew what would happen !! :)
While in my 2nd year Pre-Uty - I had joined NIIT and regardless of my specialization in Engineering I knew I would enter the software field. It seemed so obvious to me ! :)
And yet when I mention incidents like this ... it is considered strange ! What I don't understand is why ? :)
