Yeah rite..wats in da name?.. everybdy has a name.. (duh?) wats so special bout names..evrythin in da world has been granted da rite 2 hav a name.. yeah.. ok.. y is Blog Owner (BO) writin bout names.. well dats bcoz BO wants to share wit u da experience of havin a ' Unique' name.
BO has had a very 'unique' xperience wit her own name.. its a nice name u kno..but da problem wit it is dat.. its a different n uncommon name.. n thus this leads to a major problem in BO's life.. weneva she introduces herself to others, she is forced to repeat herself as ppl never get it in da first attempt. *ahem*
they alwaz luk for similar soundin names!! "wat? Sejal?"-this is da patent question!! :(
She has to spell it out so dat ppl understand how to pronounce da name.. "Its Tejal , T-E-J-A-L"
n evn then they dun get it.. some ppl call her TEJAAL,some call her TIJEL, some pronounce it as TEAJEL,some dun evn bother to see da "E",they jus say TAJAL..oh.. BO gets sooooo annoyed..helo? if u dunno how to pronounce then pls ASK!! BO is alwaz ready to guide..
n this is not da end, some ppl hu r so ignorant dunno da difference between 'J' n 'Z'!! so end up callin BO as TEZZAL!!! one female actually thought dat TEZAL was right n BO had pronounciation problem n thus BO said TEJAL!! excuse me??? BO knows how to pronounce her own name alrite?? giv BO a break pls!!
Then, after pronounciation..comes da MEANIN .. ok.. TEJAL means 'Lustrous Beauty'..ahh.. wt a meanin..BO has to explain evn dat .. "uh.. Lustrous means shining u kno, shining beauty???" o gawd!!!!
but nw BO has found a unique way to express herself.. she says, "My name is Tejal.. oh u dun kno dat? dats ok..u kno Sejal? wel it rhymes wit dat, jus put a 'T' in place of da 'S'.. "so finally they get it n BO is left alone n not attacked wit a volley of questions!! *sigh*
Sometimes, BO wonders wat wud life hav been if she had a normal common name.. but then as enlightenment reaches her..she corrects herself into thinkin dat special ppl hav special attributes n mayb a special name is jus one of them..
heheheheh.. *blush blush*
