oh , you have also the habit of calling people by names not their given namesWhile my husband was paying the Water meter charges,
I sat on a chair and waited for him to finish his business.
A pretty young girl came and touched my feet in that waiting room.
I was unable to place her though I knew that I had seen her and spoken to her.
May be I would have recognized her easily - if I had seen her in the temple
where I had met her for the very first time.
She was the same SAtvic and serene D.I.L of my temple friend.
I had named her as Meenakshi and called her by that name.
She smiled and said," That is the name you have given me amma.
My mother named me as Shanmugapriya!"
Now I will never forget the real name or the nickname.
Who can forget Shanmugan and his priyamaana annai Meenakshi???
I thought only I had it
now I safely call all youngsters pappa since I mostly do not remember
I ask adults their initials , they normally respond with initials and their names also with it. so we get to know names also. try this trick if you cannot recall a person it
works
when people looking familiar ask 'yennai therigaradha' it gets a bit embarrassing though
