Shakespeare once said, “What’s in a name”!!
Come to think of it,a name has the power to hold or dispel the attention…
I wanted to know what a “Rhododendron” or a “Chrysanthemum” flower looked like..Were they as gargantuan as their names?
Now a”Rose” or a “Jasmine” sounds sweet, just as the smell, a “Dahlia” and a “Primrose” pronounce exotic, while a “Periwinkle” or a “Lily” conjure velvety euphoria…
How would a “Satyendra Prasanna Singh” sound on a Toddler and wouldn’t a “Chotu” conjure up a picture of a baby, rather than a wrestler??
It’s easier to imagine the colour of a “Goldfish” or the ferocity and sharp jaws of a “Shark”… But “Oval” as a stadium or “Universal” as a studio sounds strange…..
“Shaktiprasad” as a peon and “Fakirchand” as a millionaire….again incomprehensible!!!!
A Boy Band named “Queen” or a fairytale named”Rumplestelskin”…aren’t they mindboggling???
A little bit of more black in “Grey” and tiny bit of more white in “Silver”….but aren’t they both the amalgamation of black and white??
Sharkespeare could not himself “shake”and “spear”, yet gave the most famous catchphrase of modern era….
It makes my “feather brain” lighter and more muddled and I come quite close to “Losing my marbles”….But aren’t they something to play with??
Before things go out of “hand” and I put my “foot in my mouth”, let me stop my writing and go back to doing what I’m best at….
Muse with my feather brain!!!!!!
