V vs Bhi

I just simply fail to understand why people use the letter V in place of the hindi word ‘Bhi’ in social networking sites.

Everyone is not Bihari here.

Growing Up As Neelabh

The first name that was given to me was Harshwardhan. This name was give  to me by my grandfather. But later on other relatives started suggesting some other easy names for me. Well, that included some real nice names like Mukesh, Jitender, Ravi etc. Finally they organised a round table conference and my grandfather’s only brother in law, who is very close to my grandfather suggested this name. Neelabh. All my family members liked it a lot.

There were many reasonse for liking this name. First and the foremost was the it was quite an unique name. I don’t understand why someone loves to chose unique names for their babies. And if they want their child’s names to be unique, what could be more unique to R1D1 or say Catzuphasy? Well, lets return to my naming conference. They passed the name Neelabh. Now, one thing missed in this all melee was that they never asked me if I like my name or not.

When I first went to school, on the very first day my class teacher asked me what does my name mean? I was totally clueless. I asked my grandmother that what does it mean.

Neelabh word is made of two words. Neel and abha. Its an adjective. Anything which emits blue light or has a tinge of it is called Neelabh. And its other name for lord Shiva and our good old sky.

Then started the real problem. Very seldom I was called Neelabh. Usually my peers used to call me Neelam, Neelap, Milap and such stupid variations of the real name. But it hardly mattered to me as I was deeply in love with my name. So whenever, mispronounced or misspelled my name, I would correct them without bothering for too much.

Why is it so that most of my posts ended disruptly and are about me. Am I self obsessed?

Khoon

I donated blood today for the first time in my life. After an initial bout of dizziness I am feeling refreshed.

Have you ever donated your blood?

Feeling Good

After much ado and trouble I finally configured my linksys WRT54G v.7 router and connected it to Sify. I feel like god.

I bought this router last saturday from Nehru Place and was unable to configure it. I contacted and called many tech guys but they were unable to help me. I was using a Static IP connection settings and had already configured and cloned the laptop’s MAC on router and WiFi adapter. But whenever i tried to connect, it showed that it could not connect to internet. I was even not able to run the Sify Broadband client.

Now It is finally up and running and i even don’t know how.

Yippeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! I am happy!!!!!
