I will tell the missus at home and walk a little taller from now on.
Will it make any difference to her? I wonder.

Let’s see.

Correction again. I just came to know that Viswanath means, ‘Lord of the Universe’ :)

Okay…thanks. I stand corrected. Neither am I any better. :)

The correct word for Universe is BrahmaanD,( ब्रह्मांड)not Vishwa ( विश्व).
I am no pundit in Hindi/Sanskrit and am open to correction if someone knows better.

Lol, ‘not when the Madam is around eh?? :lol: But it is definitely grand to have a name that means ‘Lord of the World’ or rather, Universe. Isn’t it?? :)
Thank you. your comments are always welcome. Hope to see more of them :)

Reminds me about my own longish name and my attempts to explain what it meant to a curious American Friend.
Vishwa means world, Nath means lord, I told him.
“So that should make you the Lord of the world ? Great!” he exclaimed.
I smirked. I wasn’t going to tell him the truth, which is that in reality I am a timid fellow and not even the Lord of my own household, particularly when Madam is around.

That’s all for now. Will catch up with more of your older postings later.

G Vishwanath

Me: Hmm… is it so hard to figure out how to read Molsey?? :lol:
