An identity, a meaning, a representation, a possession ! Name defines each one with a unique title that belongs to the person forever. Such is the magic of name that its legacy continues to glorify the character, even after one departs from life. The first gift that a child can ever receive from his parents, name is indeed a valuable treasure that remains the same throughout. The color of this essential possession can never ever fade away!
It makes us what we are, throughout the journey of living. Though just a word that labels us as an individual, its significance is felt at each and every stage as we proceed ahead in this path called life. As discussions about a name for my new born nephew are still raw and fresh and while his parents have donned their thinking hats for this task called naming, the entire process of picking a name feels exciting,adventurous and colorful. It is an intense brain storming process that continues till one good name is finally agreed upon.
As name defines one, it must carry a wonderful and meaningful essence that speaks about the person. Though we never get to choose it ourselves,each one of us love our name from the moment we understand it is ours. While our ears acquaint themselves with the sound of this name, it unknowingly occupies an irreplaceable space in our life. With that begins a bond of a lifetime; a bond with our name, a pact with our identity, a relation with our existence!
It represents us along the way and stands to be ours forever.The first aspect of our personality that reaches out to others, it is a start to the further course of action. Hearing a different, unique name increases our curiosity as we bombard its bearer with questions about the meaning. Name has the power to define a personality as the mention of a person's name paints an image in our mind,though never seen or known before.
The only characteristic that never changes, it speaks about us before we begin to speak! The start to our introduction or the end to our written conversation, name is definitely the start to end of every single aspect in life. While the sight of our name printed on certificate or convocation degree radiates pride and happiness, it adds an irreplaceable weight-age to our existence. The fact that a famous celebrity shares our name fills us with lot of excitement and joy making us one with stardom that unfortunately lasts for a little while ;)
With a variety of endless names, each of them are inspired by some thought or the other.The beauty of its meaning add grace and charm. While some names are picked from nature, they are either inspired by the beautiful flowers,plants or numerous components that decorate it. Names based on qualities and virtues add unique flavors to personality while names drawn from history or mythology celebrate richness of our tradition. Some names have their roots in happiness and cheer that bring in joy,luck and positive aura.
Every name does have a story of its own, while few names are common and have been enjoying many long years of existence, a few others are rare and live in recent phases. As many new names will continue to make a place in this world, the life of names will certainly never end. Cheers to the wonderful name we all possess!
A question that has always greeted us and will continue to do so,
"What is your name?"
