So
I've taken up this challenge to talk about myself shamelessly for 30 days! sort
of like a blog-fie! Might just be the thing to help me shower some love on my
blog. It’s the month of luurve after all.
So
today’s challenge is “Your blog’s name” – the simplest one! But I have a ..
erm.. history of “names”, something I am not very proud of. My own name means “fishy”
– what the hell were my parents thinking! And my brother’s name was decided during his school registration (since
my parents forgot the important aspect of the school registration process- the name of all the things! (what were they
calling him before that? Oh well, in India, we have this system of 2 names –
one is the home name, sort of nick name, and the other one a formal name. His
nick name so far resembled a certain “vegetable”, and I am not going to reveal
what is it, for the fear of my life as I am damn sure my brother will be
reading this one). So when my parents reached the school, and started filling
out the form, the first field was – Name of the Child – which shouldn’t resemble
a certain vegetable. And when they asked the person behind the desk, if they
could leave that space blank, and come back later with the name, they weren’t thought
to be very funny. So in their frenzy, they just skipped through the last couple
of forms filled by other parents, and got the first proper name they came
across – the fact I cant even tease my brother with, cause, you know, the “fishy”
bit…
So
coming back to the name of my blog – well I too have got this issue with naming
creativity, and I would happily attribute it to my genes. This blog- Randomness
– was chosen when one day I was bit by the writing bug, and thought of starting
a blog and all, but the first thing it asks me is – the name ofcourse. And it doesn’t
let me skip through previous names and let me choose a begged, borrowed, or
stolen one, because, google ofcourse… so here was the most unimaginative name
of the blog ever(well, there was this blog for which I used to ghost-write
movie reviews, which had a very sleazy name, but even then I wont call it
unimaginative. Of all the sleaziness, it atleast evoked some emotion. But “Randomness”?
)
May
be one day I might stumble upon a really clever name for my blog. I might start
a new one. Or I might hit upon a lottery and go ahead and “buy” one of those
blogs with really clever names (one of the name that stuck to my mind when I
started crochet was RepeatCrafterMe – I just love the play of the words here..
). I wish.. I wish…
