My name is Roopak. Why did my parents choose this name for me, even I don’t know. I feel, it might be because it sounded very well and it was not like a traditional name at those days. As a child when I used to ask my parents the meaning of my name all that they would say was that “it’s a type of ALANKAR”. I don’t know the exact word in English for “ALANKAR” so I will try to elaborate it according to Hindi literature. Someone who decorates or makes things more attractive by adding something is called “ALANKAR”. Am I attractive enough?
What would have happened if my name was not Roopak? Would it effect anyhow? My family astrologer had predicted that my name should start with ‘Gya’ so my grandfather suggested names like ‘Gyanprakash’, ‘Gyanchand’ e.t.c. What if my name would have been ‘Gyanprakash’ or ‘Gyanchand’? Has my life been shaping up according to my name?
I don’t believe in the modernity of the name thus I can say that it hardly matters whether your name is ‘Gyanprakash’ or ‘Roopak’. I am very confused. I am very confused.
