Today I found a website about some book called 'Disposable Lives'.The author wrote about how she kept acquiring different names as she went through different stages of her life.The website also had a link where you could write how many names you have and your experience with those names.
All this made me wonder,is a name really important?Even I have many names,everybody has.I feel that there are many personalities hidden inside a person, different personalities take control of the person in different environments.The names that we acquire are actually names given to these personalities.We can never know all these persons inside us completely.Maybe that is why we can never find a reason for some of our own decisions.Maybe when the struggle between the persons within becomes too tough,it causes personality disorders.But then,I am no Freud,I'm just speculating.
Does the name affect our personality too?I have read articles by astrologers and tarot card specialists which were about the effect a name can have on the person.Astrologers even determine the auspiscious letters with which a person's name should begin for his good fortune.
But,does all this matter really?A name is after all a tag,nothing more than that,isn't it?The person is much more important.Everybody has to fight his own battle.Only character and grit can help one surge forward,names don't help.
I think it is enough for today.Do give it a thought and leave your comments....

This is some pretty wild philosophy and stuff.I need time to think before adding a comment.This comment will do till then.
Fodu Yaar!
So What prompted you to take up personal blogging? Did you always wanted to do this or did you took my advice little too seriously!!
Great work though!
*"oohs" and "aahs" at the blog*
so, like, sicas blogging!! and not on "the band of non-bloggers". oh, well, abt the name thing, "call-signs" are taken quite seriously (wtf?? i dunno). so, ppl start seeing themselves as their call signs, and try to live upto it.
besides, i dont believe in numerological stuff or horoscopes. hey, these things are too vague. in case you havent noticed, most of the "cases" in a horoscopic column fit you.(or me). but then, mayb its a "feel-good" factor for others.
oh, well, enuf philosophy for the day.
