How to choose best girl child name for your daughter?



 The newborn baby girl must be given unique girl child name to distinguish her from others. It is true that there is great deal of excitement amongst family members, aunts-uncles, friends, grandparents and well-wishers who all sit together and argue and agree upon different girl child name to give best name to their newborn family member.
It is true that we stumble upon as many names as there are stars in sky while searching for best girl child name. The girl’s child name depends upon family likings, trends of that present scenario and societal compulsions. Globalization has brought great mixing of cultures and thus orthodox society has now become liberal and accepting names from various corners of globe. Now-a-days, we can see names crossing boundaries of nations and making their home in unusual places.
So if you are also looking some unique girl child name? Here is a list. Write them down on slips of paper and jumble it up in jar and finally take your pick. There are names like pearl, Julia, Jordan, Sabrina, Emily, Sarah, Diamond, Nicole, Samantha, Amber, Jade, Jenna, Rebecca, Maria. If you are from India, you can choose names like Aashna, Ambar, Nikunj, Riya, Mannat, Naina, Aishwarya, Riddhi, Siya etc.  If the preference is for rivers, then you can name her Indu after the mighty Indus or Kaveri, Narmada or Ganga. These rivers belong to planet earth and are not the monopoly of any one nation.
Shakespeare laughs at the idea of giving unique baby girl’s name. According to him, “no matter what name you call a rose- a rose is a rose and will smell as sweet.”
But it is also true that by giving unique name to your baby, you hope to inculcate certain values in your baby which name carries- the value that will adhere to the person till its last breath.

Sex without intimacy: A Spill the Tea story about modern loneliness

Tara meets someone through a matrimony broker. They quickly decide marriage isn’t on the table, but spend a night together anyway. What follows isn’t regret or drama, but an unsettling emptiness. Over tea and samosas, she tries to understand why physical closeness left her feeling more alone than before. Spill the Tea: When Closeness leaves You Feeling Further away The tea was too sweet. Tara noticed it immediately but didn’t say anything. She sat on the verandah chair, one foot tucked under the other, the plastic creaking every time she shifted. She wore a black cotton top with sleeves pushed to her elbows and denim shorts that left her knees bare to the evening air. She didn’t look uncomfortable. Just slightly unfinished, as if she’d left in a hurry. Between us, a steel plate held two samosas, already cooling. The chutney had begun to darken at the edges. She broke a corner of the samosa. The crust flaked onto her plate. She dipped it into the chutney, carefully. “You know,” she said...

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
