Well that is supposed to be the question that all of us ask when we meet someone for the first time. But imagine knowing a person for more than a year and talking with her regularly and still not knowing her name at all! She comes in my bus and her stop is same as mine. I had been chatting with her while waiting for the bus all these days, till it recently struck me one day that I didn’t know her name at all! When I asked the others in the stop, they too didn’t know! They forgot it seems. After knowing a person for such a long time, the very thought of asking what her name is, was too embarrassing. I finally managed to see her ID card today and got to know her name!
My name is D.K.Suriya Narayanan
Whats with name and today? Found another interesting article here: http://www.ibnlive.com/news/whats-there-in-a-name-just-some-embarrassment/67766-19.html
BTW, its very normal these days i guess. I know a few people to whom i talk too, in the cab, in the stop… But i dont know them by name 😀
ROFL . may be u were too indifferent because it was a girl rather than a guy
anyways does she know ur name 😛 ??
🙂 Well, it happens. But one year sounds a bit too long 🙂 Good that you managed to find the name without asking her anyway 🙂

But you had it easy than Seinfeld here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_VkNa7alqI 🙂
Sneaky Aparna!
Of course, the obvious question arises, does she know your name?
I had written a paragraph extolling the virtues of having a short (and sweet) name like yours as opposed to a mouthful one like mine, but thought the better of it. Of course, the obvious question arises, why did I write this info then?
Lol.. Thank Goodness you got to see her ID card and save yourself the blushes.. 🙂
So now the bus-stop-girl-friend has a name eh?? 😀
Just Curious.. What’s her name?? 🙂
Ha ha ha …
I forgot my friend’s b’day date and there was absolutely no way i could find that becasue there was no orkut or anything. I finally managed to find it in the pretext of looking at his driving licence … It was a very embarassing …
its really amazing!! testifies : life is at times stranger than fiction !! 🙂
this isn’t new.. there were quiet a lot of instances when i inquired about it..
well this does happen there is nothing embarassing about it..
and moreover it should have taken a brave effort to put it here in a blog were bashing is always expected 😛
identity theft 😛

Puranjoy,
I don’t know whether she knows my name or not.
>> why did I write this info then?
You should only answer that
Aparna,
Yes 🙂
Harii,
Am not answering that. What if by any chance, she sees this page sometime? 😉
Dinesh,
That was one clever way of finding it out
Charan,
🙂 Welcome to my blog!
Vishnu,
Oh. But I won’t make the mistake of not asking a person’s name first from now on.
Aravind,

Niyaz,

@aparna,
know the term “rhetorical question” 🙂
and before you ask, yes that was also one of those.
Puranjoy,
