the real me :)

I get so confused around here.. took me one hour to figure out, how to write a new post.. I do that every time.. I am technologically challenged..yeah.. :) so people are yet to get over the shock of priyadutta ( which my sister pointed out is 'priyadatha') ... Sourov was saying how he likes Sanskrit names and said he loved this name..my turn to be shocked... I never liked my name a s a kid.. priyadatha, i thought was old fashioned and sharika was just really bad.. Half of them mispronounced my name as 'sarika' or ' shakira' or' shrika' ( my voters id does say my name is shrika hapali). SO i basically thought this was a weird name that only mallus pronounced properly and in karnataka and in mangalore the chances of my name getting right is like 2%..I always had to tell people, remember kamala hassan's wife?? just add an 'h' to it :)

My name' sharika' means parrot in malayalam which again i thought was unfair .. my sister gets cool name 'shalini' (which means the one with all good manners and basically embodiment of goodness) and i becoe parrot. I am talkative so i guess it fits me well.. plus I am good at imitating people.. get accent right when it comes to learning languages, then i lose my patience and then just leave it half done.. sigh :)
