What's in a name??

I have been very cranky as far as naming my son goes. I have myself laid down a very strict criteria for the name. There are various parameters to be taken care of. One is the name should be short. Secondly it should be different and less heard of. Thirdly it should have a very good meaning. Fourth criteria is it should be easy to pronounce and last but not the least it should rhyme with my surname.

The names my various friends have suggested are mentioned below:

Aarav, Advay, Akshaj, Akshit, Akul, Amogh, Arin, Arush, Aryan, Atharva, Ayan, Chirag, Eebhav, Hrishi, Kavin, Kushal, Mayank, Nishit, Parth, Pramit, Pratham, Pravir, Pravit, Pulkith, Raunak, Santrupt, Sarang, Shivum, Shivank, Skandha, Smaren, Swarit, Vineeth etc...

Its itne saare naam and confusions galore!!!

Enjoy name hunting Mr.Amit Shet and Mrs.Jyothi Shet, lage raho, that's all i can say with a lot of hope in my heart..

Coincidences

Talk about coincidences in life...I married my sweetheart on the 4th anniversary of my proposal to her, which incidentally turns out to be my birthday. I had the bhatji to remove muhurats in April or May 2007. Three dates popped up, April 21, 28 and 30th, the last mentioned date according to my respected bhatji was the most auspicious. So it turned out to be my shaadi (or as some people like to say my barbhaadi, my wife won't forgive me for this) on my birthday. If this a coincidence then please read along. My son was born on 24th September, 2008 which happens to be my dearest wife's birthday. And yeah, I didn't plan it that way. The delivery was a normal delivery and not caesarean like you might be inclined to think. But yeah once the gynaecologist suggested that October 3 was the due date for my baby, I did have a standing bet with my wife that my baby would be born on her birthday. And come to think of it, I indeed did win the bet.

Also, 24th September, 2008 happens to be the first anniversary of India's T20 World Cup win.

Maybe the Almighty is playing games with me considering my fascination for numbers, be it with dates, kilometre readings, calculations etc.

The Visiting Card

A colleague of mine once went to visit a customer. At the end of the conversation, my colleague got ready to leave but before doing so, he opened his visiting card holder to leave a card for the customer. Just then the customer got up from his seat, offered his profused thanks and said, "Thanks a lot for offering me one but i don't smoke."
