The Empty Space Between Our First and Last Names…

What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

Well yesterday ended on a weird note—

Last night as I wrote some sketches on things that I wanted to describe;

One was “what epitome of evil looks like”;

Another one was how on a mother’s passing she meets her newborn that wasn’t able to survive…!

.

The latter one brought me to tears because it was all too emotional for me to feel and write;

To be in someone’s shoes that I wasn’t made for and trying to give you all a witness into the thought…!

The other one sent chills down my spine as I wrote that in a completely empty room and I felt like I wasn’t alone anymore…!

Well they will be polished and uploaded some time in the near future here;

But,

For the time being there is a prompt that is unanswered by me which needs my attention—

Middle name and it’s significance

Well I’d call them blessed those who carry their legacy with them, which was granted to them by their forefathers;

Oftentimes it can be something that a person considers to be an issue because it extends their name and there are other beurocratic problems that comes with it…!

Well it hasn’t been my problem because I don’t have one;

But my father had one;

An it was “Kumar”


The problematic aspect

There were some problems with our 10th class marksheet where my sister had his first and last name but didn’t have the middle name which became an issue as we went to make passports because they rely on the marksheet and the details didn’t match which becomes an issue;

A big one as no one was willing to budge…

So we had to change it on Aadhar card which matches the marksheet which in turn now matches the passport that she holds…!

Whew 😥

The process took a couple of months,

Not taking money and time spent on it into the account…!

The legacy;

The name was chosen by my grandfather for his son which made him special from their other kids;

Maybe there was some special attention that he was given;

Or they expected him to be the one who will carry their name ahead…!


Oh the hopes and dream that we have from those who come from us…!

And a want that we have deep down in our hearts that they carry out our dreams too…!


The middle name kumar doesn’t have any set uniqueness because it’s quite common in northern India;

It’s also used to mention someone who is unmarried or underage;

The female counterpart of which would be Kumari…


Well that’s it for the day…!

It’s a Sunday today and spend it wisely,

Complete all of your chores early on so you can spend your evening as you wish…!

Go sit in the sun for a while if you can and eat some tangerines if possible…!

Don’t forget to hydrate…!💧💧

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍
