So I am back to telling you guys more about my name. If you
haven’t read the story of my name yet, please read it here (The Story of myName).
My dear sister, chose my name. She decided that I would be
Ashwini. My parents decided that I would be C.N.Ashwini. N stands for my dad’s
name and C is my Grandfather’s great grandafather’s name. In short, our family
name. At school, they took it upon
themselves to rename me Ashwini C.N, since they felt the need to put the
initials after the name. I did not have a problem with that. In fact I use that
name everywhere, Ashwini C.N
So, what was my problem? The problem was that no one used to
call me by my name. At home, Dad has his own pet name for me. Mom has her own
pet name for me. As for my sister, the way she calls me would vary, depending
on whether I managed to irritate her beyond her tolerable limits. So the name
would keep varying. The rest of the family, call me by my common pet name. College friends call me’ Ash’.
While talking to me in person, they might use my full name, but while
messaging and chatting it’s always Ash.
