The Namesake

What is there in a name? Does this any way hinder our life or does it in any way make our life filled with joy or lay us down with trouble? Sometimes its befuddling to answer all.Might look rubbish to start such a topic.

Recently there was an article published in one of the leading papers. And it had interviewed few people who had names of those famous personalities. It had mentioned about the troubles they face 'cause of that name and the facilities and the popularity they enjoy because of that name.

So if you go through that article, it gives a feeling that name has everything in it. It's just not the name but it's also the identity.

Now you can argue saying that the name wont matter as it wont change our life and it would remain the same whether we had that name or not . The name actually gives you the identity.

Just imagine , what would be your life, if your name was RAHUL GANDHI, you might say it wont make any difference, my life would the same as it is now. But people don't see it that way. You would have your name in the passport , ration card, telephone book, your house address too and almost every place it would be Rahul Gandhi. People might mistake you for the original one, just by the name. So some places you might be given extra ordinary preference and sometimes you might be bugged with useless and thousands of phone calls,as the telephone directory says RAHUL GANDHI.You might even get hooked with the politician(our politicians intelligence level is not so good to find the difference, they will just go by the name.)

So name does have that value and identity that gives each and every person. For oneself it would not make any difference what his or her name is to himor her.But from others point it does make a lot of difference and usually its the people and the society that makes a difference in our life.
