As a kid, I couldn't pronounce the alphabet "R", instead of R it would be Ya. For instance, Ram would be Yam. This happened till the 10th grade. I was thinking about one funny incident that happened when I was in my 6th or 7th class. My mom told me to get bread from the shop close to our house.
So I am at this shop called Sai-Krupa and ask him, "bhaiyya, bread dona". He ignores me and I again ask him, "bhaiyya, bhaiyya bread dona". This time around he gets irritated and gives me a blade. 7'0 clock blade. I was like, "bhaiyya, yeh nahi..bread chahiye" and he replies saying, "yehi blade hain humhare paas".
I am totally embarassed and point my finger towards the bread and tell him, "woh chahiye Wibbs ka bread". He angrily replied, "toh bread bolona...blade kya hain". I was sadly thinking to myself - "kitne time bola...samaj mein nahi aaya aapko". Similarly, I used to fear that nobody should ask me my name. My name is Bharathiraja. Let me be frank and tell you, when people asked me my name i used to say "Bhayathiyaja". There's no take away from this post, I remembered this incident today so thought of sharing it with you guys!!
Keep yeading and keep yolling...oops..keep reading and keep rolling!!
