Nick Names.. :)
Received an sms today asking me to find a suitable nickname for the person.. and it got me thinking of the nicks that all of us own, n the stories behind them all!
n it compelled me into thinking of the ones that i own, that were bestowed upon me by various people, at various points in time..
thinking of keeping a count of all of them!
Here we go then!!
originally named Gurbani, known as Geenu at home.well mostly! at other times it'd be one of these: gini, gina, ginchal, ginaadu, giniya!(some of them sure r funny!! n the reasons in some cases r funnier still)
moving forward, putt rajasthani(dunno y dad calls me that :) ), putt pardesi.., srinagar(my nani calls me that!)
motu, mithu, sweetu,mota raja, tika(!!!), biba, bugga, tonka bean(!!!), rapunzel, don.
ok now... bani, guri, guruji(!!!!!), gobu, gaggu, G., angrez, gidz(haha, this one just popped up today!)... ummmm.. thinking still.. oh yeah, ginar lala, gainda ji(!!), oh how could i have forgotten! All India Radio, kaka, einstein, jhalli, gulzar, javedi akhtara...
umm i think that does it for now! aint there too many already??
but the stories behind them all make them worthwhile! :)
After all, what are we but our stories!
so who's sharing their nick names with me?? :)

the most common way of giving a nickname is to simply add 'U' in the end..like honey becomes hannuu..n so n on..
so how about writing story behind each of ur nicks:)
Still dadi continues with shardu sometimes, looks like they are callin some neighbor!
Moving to college, "Baazi" became famous and I seriously miss the gang who used to address me with this!
Now the latest one, shd i mention..shd i not? Doodhwala, yes u heard it right, because of the company am interning in! Still, some ppl give due respect by calling me 'Ice cream Guy". :-)
