Hear say

Recently a tamil couple who were expecting were spending sleepless nights trying to find a name for their baby. It was then they heard the story of how Martina hingis' mother named her daughter after the legendary tennis player and how she, hingis, went on to become World number 1. Inspired, and having observed our latest tennis Sensation Sania Mirza playing, they decided to name their baby after her.

Unfortunately for them, the baby turned out to be a boy and hence, as it happens usually in tamil households, they added an 'N' in the end of the name so that it suits it a boy. The gossip circles, in the neighbourhood are now busy with stories as to how they can't call out their son in public as they manage to offend atleast one innocous trespasser who's overcome by guilt of his own existence.

PS: For tamil ignoramuses, who are wondering the purpose of this piece of info, Sanian in tamil means satan or a wretched soul. Narayana! Narayana!

Hey Rat...but there are some really cursed people...One guy I used to work with was called Y Sussman...His dad used to be a caretaker at a local zoo and lived in a trailer alongside it(sorta white trash)...one of the monkeys he was incharge of was called "Y"...apparently that creature was nice to him so he decided to name his son after it!! The guy hates his dad for two things...one naming him Y and makign him an object of constant mocking and two for havin the audacity to tell him about the monkey!!(how would u feel if u found out that you were named after a monkey :-)) The guy is pretty depressed and now that he is independent, never talks or meets his dad...he HATES him...

@santosh.. I know a lot of chinese guys name "Yi". Even my advisor is named so. This guys is just 1 letter short. This might be a slight consolation for that guy.

@piggy...the question of consolation doesnt not arise in his case.If the drawbacks of his name arent apparent enough, the guy is finding it hard to build a relationship with any girl!! Though he is an amazing company and is extremely well read, he has lost all confidence when it comes to approaching girls during parties. He is scared of them laughing their ass off when he introduces himself...its almost a huge social crisis in his life!! Alas, Americans arent familiar with the revolutionary concept that comes to the rescue of every socially outcast Indian - "arranged marriage"

@All - thank you :)

@Santhosh - You know, I started reading your reply to Piggy before I checked his comment (I get them mailed to my account). So, I actually thought you were referring to me dude! Actually, if you read it again - you know it fits!
