Abhishek-Naam To Suna Hoga

The title may compel you to think of a romantic scene in which a Bollywood hero sends out flirtatious emotions to the heroine. The Dialogue goes as :Raj-Naam To Suna Hoga............. .Here I want to provide the disclaimer that neither am I a fan of that particular hero, nor do not wish to send out any flirtatious emotions to anyone.I just want to emphasize that fact that this particular Noun-“Abhishek” is so common in the Indian community that you would find this name in virtually every community , caste , state ,region ,locality........

A Google search confirmed that there are around 1,63,000              users named Abhishek in its database .The meaning of the word Abhishek is “Tilak”,which the hindus apply on the forehead as a mark of good omen.

My personal experience has been that every classroom that I have been to till date has had at least a pair sharing the name “Abhishek”.The Tragedy about having such a name is a situation wherein you have to call out your own name to reach out to a person sharing your name. Another funny situation arises when you call out such a name in a crowded gathering and you get multiple responses, which may leave you totally confused.

This message also goes out to other commonly used names in India as Jagjit , Manpreet ,Raj .........

My heartiest sympathy to those “Special  ” poor souls. 

Love

Abhishek Singh
