What's in a Name
What's in a Name
-Dr Tripti Galgali
William Shakespeare 's famous dialogue in his play" Romeo &Juliet ".....
What's in a name?
A Rose will be a rose, giving the same fragrance even if you call it with some other name.
My dear Father named me तृप्ति.....meaning Satisfaction. I was 2nd child and he was satisfied on my birth.....
He loves Sanskrit....
So in English my name is spelt TRIPTI.
India has 29 states.Each state has a specific dialect.
I have no intention of belittling anyone.
But each state my name got spelt and pronounced differently.
In my home state Maharashtra....तृ is Tru not Tri .....
So I am Trupti.
In my now State.....Karnataka...in some places....त isथ.....
So Tripti....becomes Thripathi.....
Then when Thripathi goes to a Call Centre based in UP.....
Thripathi Galgali gets confused to
Galgali becomes my name Tripathi becomes my surname.
Down south, Tripti....has become Tirupati
Thirupathi
In Rajasthan/ Gujrat, I have become TRAPTI....after River Tapti.
Or maybe rhyming with प्राप्ती.
The Gen Z loves abbreviations a lot.
So I am Trips.... Troops( like in the Army soldier troop)....😄😁
In 4 decades of my life....My dear Father 's fondly kept name तप्ति/ Tripti has seen many variations.
No offense.
Enjoy the humor and laugh.. 😆 🤣 LOL
