Pojjiee!!!!

I remember one of my Value Education lessons in Std 12 (JC 2) very vividly when my Principal, Sr. Aloysius, asked us which is our favourite word.... There was a huge variety of answers ranging from Mom, God, Studies, Love and laughter and so on.... And then Rashika said that she likes Uji because Adi-Dia (Her newly born twin siblings) call her by that name.. Quite true, isn't it??

The names by which different people call us are perhaps the most important words for us.. Imagine you are in a huge gathering (doing whatever) and somebody calls out your name(may be somebody else with your name) but you definitely respond to that, don't you? By name I don't just mean the registered English or Chinese names but your nick names as well...

I consider myself very very lucky to have a large number of nick names...And mind you, the inventors have the copyrights for each name.. I try my best that these rights are not violated.. ;)

Pojjiee (pronounced as Pauji) by Snigdha...

I think this is one of the cutest names I have been given.... And the way she says it.. Just like a small kid calling her loved ones... So many feelings take hold of me when she calls me by this name!!

Each of these names is so very special to me... I love each of them... :)
