October 24th 2005

"Who the hell is Parvathi?"
"Parvathi is my second name.The one they use when we have pujas."
"What's Suchithra?"
"My first one.My legal one."
"Why two?"
"Why not."

Parvathi, the wife of Shiva is the embodiment of power.
I choose to embrace my name.Parvathi.
Doesn't feel the least bit alien to my tongue

January 23rd 2010

Suchithra works now.
Suchi is perfect.
I might respond to Sushi.
I might roll my eyes at Sooji but I will reply.
Please don't call me Chithra.

Thank you.
Goodbye

che. how come we missed calling you chithra. it is very aunty who dances bharathnatiyam, wears checked kanchivaram silk sarees, and carries a little pouch with tons of cash in it - someone that you could be.
