When you move into a hostel, there's an entire ceremony.
00:02
You are given a new name that befits your personality and your relationship in that setting.
00:07
Let's say your name is Satya Narayan.
00:10
Now this is quite a misfit.
00:11
So they will give you a new name.
00:13
A new name that is truer to your personality.
00:16
Apna naam bolo.
00:17
Carlos.
00:18
Carlos ho gaya to polis me jau na bhai.
00:20
Ham ya tuchha kaam nahi karte yaar.
00:22
Satya Narayan.
00:23
That name was given to you when you were like three months old.
00:25
And there is no Satya and no Narayan in your personality.
00:29
Not at all.
00:29
So your hostel mate will address you through something that more truly represents who you are.
00:34
It's a Gucci or something.
00:35
And that's I suppose quite nice and quite just.
00:38
And also the names should keep evolving over time.
00:41
You are not the person today you are five years back.
00:44
So today you deserve a new name.
00:45
It's a beautiful thing and it would liven and lighten up our lives a bit if we adopt this practice.
