Whats in a name!?

I am the eldest of my generation from both Dad's and Mom's family... so they wanted to name something unique, new, rare at the time and something that included name of my great grand mother :)...
• According to my birth star: i was to be given a name starting with "Sri"
• My Great Grand Mother's name: "Lakshmikanthamma"
• My Dad wanted to name me "Deepthi" meaning fame/prosperity or light/brightness
• Another Dad's favourite name is "Nayana". he was reading the novel "NayanaTara" at the time and liked the name a lot.
so here i am Sri Lakshmi Deepthi Nayana [:)]... to my family... the rest of the world knows me as "Deepthi Nayana".

My nic names:
• Deepu, Deepulu, Deepalu, Deeps
• Meenakshi
• Nimi, Munni
• Now for my hubby, i am "Bujjulu" :) also BujjiBull ehehehehehe! (I am a taurean so my hubby calls me BujjiBull' when I am mad at him)
and there a few more funny, funky, chunky names I respond to hehe! :D
Now if u ask me ... WHats in a NaMe ?!! That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.
True! Its all in the perception of the one calling you by the name :)

Mindblowing experience – A realization

Literally! Blew my mind away… feels like there were two different worlds… a world that felt normal to me and then a bizzaro world! US of A and then India. i have penned down about a lot of ups and down in USA.. heres one, about a realization that occured after my Return to India. i wouldn't have probably felt it if not for my so long stay in the states away from India, relatives, hometown, country side, so called values, culture, traditions etcetera. Temples, poojalu, abhishekalu, temple visit poojalu, abhishekalu and repeat… fastinglu, cold showerlu (challaneella snanala punyalu), daiva bhakthi, mogudi ki sevalu… if not the above then the below illu, vanta, vantillu, pinnigaru, akkayagaru and santha… cheeralu nagalu poolu animanigi undatalu ive adadaani abharanaalu Ive adadaani prapancham… inkaaa… even this age …ee kalamo lo, ee 21st century lo … Lol so wat if it is 21st century Some people some places never want to change, never want to widen their horizons, and never want to thi...

Multi-Tasker or a Specialist

I have become a multi-tasking freak of sorts. It's like i have this obsessive compulsion to do more than one thing at a time or i feel like it is not a good use of my time and abilities. It's like tasting a lil bit of everything from the buffet than ordering A la carte one at a time. :D Things I have tried my hands at so far consciously or co-incidentally, passionately or professionally are drawing, painting, stitching, knitting,  playing keyboard, writing short poems, reading avidly, writing, interior designing, contemporary dancing, promoting sensible living with awareness, teaching, mentoring, counseling, Photography, DJing and of course blogging apart several other things. Sometimes I feel like a Jack(or a Jill) of all trades and master of none. I felt time wasted, I felt me wasted. But then, I realize my priorities are different at the present. At the moment and present circumstances my priority is not to be recognized as one of coolest DJs or an awesome dancer , or...

A Love Letter...

To my baby to be... As my amazing journey to motherhood continues, I went for my week 34 check up today and boy was i thrilled! to see my baby on the ultrasound machine. thanks to many wonderful inventions of man. I saw my baby who looked fully formed ready to hit the ramp to the big world outside mommy's tummy. I was so glad to know the baby seemed healthy, playful, arms moving as if waving a 'hello' to mommy and legs kicking as active as ever since my first ultrasound in week 11. tears of joy, feeling of ecstasy engulfed me. I so miss having vijju by my side to hug and share the feelings. ------------- Dear Buvi (as we fondly call our baby) I keep thinking of all the wonderful things we'd do after you come to this world. Being playful, being nice, being naughty, learning together, growing together, exploring world's mysteries together, loving and being loved by many. I am typing this, i call a love letter, as you grow inside of me, getting ready for your fabulous ...
