What's in my name?

I love my name. Its Sheela. Yes that's my full name. Just Sheela. Without surname, initials, middle name, last name. Even before I was born, my sister knew that she would have a little sister and had already named me. Though she was just 3 and a half, I believe the story because that's what my mom also says.

I remember in Class 3 when my teacher was giving away some certificates, she asked me "Sheela what?". I said "Its just Sheela. I dont have initials". She was devastated and pitied me so much that she gave me her initials and wrote Sheela.S. She was proud as she gave me something that my parents couldn't give which I really dint need.

So what's with the name? Even Facebook dint allow me to join with my name. I had to fake my father's name as my second name and that indeed is believed to be my name by 700+ facebook friends which encompasses people I know and people I remotely know.

Now I have a surname. Yes I adopted my husbands surname. THE END.

Yours truly,
Sheela Hegde
