Where did your name come from?
I have seen ‘Peter’ not believing in God. I have seen ‘Mary’ choosing not to be a mother. I have seen ‘Judas’ so strong in faith. I have seen ‘Bhagwan(God) das’ ending up in Jail. I have seen ‘Amar(immortal) sharma’ dying at 21. I have seen ‘Khushi(happiness) Kumari’ always sad.
A name is just a name until you give it meaning. Its origin hardly matters. I was named by my neighbour aunt(I don’t know why my parents couldn’t provide it themselves) for years, I hated it. I felt like my personality didn’t match my name. It sounded old fashion and awkward and it added to my low self esteem as a child.
But a name’s meaning changes with your actions. When your work satisfies you and others can’t help appreciating you for it, your name gains a significance far beyond it’s literal meaning.
Plot twist: My name is Sangeeta and luckily, I can sing.
