"Yethir nichal" effect - An incident from my life:
- Shankari M
I was travelling by bus with an old lady of about 50-60 years of age, sitting next to me. Though she is a stranger She started the conversation by herself saying about her whereabouts and when she asked my name, both of us were in for a surprise. We shared the same name. She was happy and excited;Me.... wondering how old my name is, about 50-60 years old :-( . Though the journey was short we shared an unique bond because of our name.
My mind recollected those golden days when the teacher enters a class and calls out for "Dhivya" , surely 4-5 students will pop out. The generation of tomorrow will not face such a situation as the thirst for their parents to name their kids with an unique name is undaunting.
Nowadays names are becoming hard to pronounce and surely nobody can get the meaning of them without an encyclopedia.Naming their kid after their parents or grand parents or some famous icon no longer exists.
Result : In the years to come we can no longer identify a person's origin or roots with his/her name, if Senthilnathan's and Manimozhi's daughter will be called as Rihitha/Revanesh
Finally my sincere thanks to "Naamoology" for creating such an awareness and complicating the spelling of even simple names.
