" I have spent hours on the search engines, trying to find
out if any body in the whole world shares my name. I'm convinced that
nobody shares my name and i have the privilege of having a unique identity
" he says.
It was Duhkhakar's grand father, a man well-versed in Sanskrit, who
christened him. He always thought that his grand son was special and his
name should reflect it and therefore he go the name.
" I even approached a news-paper offices to place an advertisement, offering
a cash prize for anyone who shares my name. However, I was told that this
won't fit into any column in the classified section, " he says.
" To make sure that my name doesn't become common, I applied for
registration with the deputy commissioner's office but there too I was told
that names cannot be patented, " he rues.
" The English pronunciation of my name is particularly difficult and people
often get confused putting the spellings together. That is why I refer to
write my name in Hindi or Punjabi to make it easier for people. I even have
a website in my name, " he claims.
Though still unmarried, Duhkhakar has already started looking for some rare
names for his kids. " I have shortlisted a few names and hopefully my
would-be kids would like them when they grow up. In fact, my relatives and
friends call me up to seek suggestions when it comes naming their children,
" he smiles.
He has also applied his name in Limca Book of Records. |
