Mystery of NAME



My name says MOMAI. When I started understanding this mysterious world the 1st thing that strikes my head was, ‘What’s the meaning of my name?’ I was totally puzzled.  When I asked my mom, she said that my dad gave me the name. I asked dad, guess what he said to me! ‘I don’t know. But I like the name that’s why I insist on keeping the name.’ I still remember how much I laughed that day.
Few years later when I found some childhood photos, I found a new name-INDIRA. That would have been nice….what say? I was shocked but I was happy as well as I don’t have to share my name with anyone. I started analyzing the name. I ended up with a funny answer. MOM means candle in Bengali…and MOMAI means ‘candle like’. It is what I say to everyone now. The interesting thing about the name is that when you reverse it, it says I-AM-OM…
But ‘picture abhi baki hain mere dost…’ I opened my Orkut account about 10 yrs ago. I was alone with the name. After about 1 year I found that I share my name with a GODDESS of Guajarati people. May God bless me! And now I found that there was a famous commander-in chief in Ahom kingdom in Assam named Momai Tamuli Borbarua. And now you will find more than one people with the name. I still wonder how on earth the name struck my father!
GOD only knows!

Better late than never..



 After about five years of opening my blog here's my first post.. How weird it seems! I actually don't know where to start from.

I first started writing by chance.  In standard VI, I was sitting idle in my class as the scheduled teacher was absent. I just wrote a line. Then it struck me that I should write the second line so as to complete the sentence. I kept on thinking and was scribbling whatever was coming in my mind. The result was a poem. It was my sister who one day found the copy and insists me to try my hand in writing. So that was the beginning..

Hello BABA! Hope you are reading this. Thanks for inspiring me in all spheres of life. May your soul rest in peace!  LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ALWAYS.....
