networking the net...

okay then...

...the thing with having a name like mine is that it does tend to become a bit ambiguous at times. especially in a country like India, where the phonetic structure of the name basically determines the gender of the bearer. i have lived my 23 years and more with the inevitable massacre of my 'Bengali' name here in Gujarat (and no, i am not speaking of the 'accent-kill' that various people all over the world have subjected me to)...

i love my name. people love misspelling it, mispronouncing it and un-genderizing it. but then, we all think its pretty cool.

the other thing is that, Facebook and Orkut are pretty swell! i mean, hello!! i managed to trace down all of my short list of 'long lost' buddies and give them a fair share of my 'abuses' thanks to such networking sites. in return i have received umpteen friend requests from people who i believe, know me. i generally suffer from brain freeze in memory terms when it comes to remembering all the many people i happen to run in to. so i follow a simple principle, "if you happen to know a fair amount of the people i 'do' remember running into, then maybe i do know you."

...only recently have i learnt, how mistaken i can be.

life and people subject me to certain 'gems' of humorous incidents from time to time. my experiences with my name is one of my all time favorite. the networking sites too have a fair share of humor to offer. and here is one such example of them both combined...

(credit goes to d'Rat and her recent post for reminding me of this little gem i had tucked away somewhere on my harddisk awaiting a blog mention)
