What's in MY Name?
#CuppaHeartChocolate series story 2:
Like most of the south Indians my surname is my
father's name. Whenever I need to write my name, I write it fully. This is even
for the smallest of things like labeling office stationery, trivial apps in phone,
entry log registers in public libraries and even while naming files and booking
tickets. In some registers when column size is very small, I divide it
carefully into two halves n write the two parts one below the other. Here’s
why?
Zainudeen never finished school. Once when his daughter was labeling her 11th
std books he said to her with immense pride, "I never studied but my name
is written in English in an English book and you wrote it on your own with no
help from anyone. Just because my name is attached to yours, I feel like I've
achieved the education I missed out on. “These words were etched in that girl's mind and
taught her not to take her education for granted. As someone who always felt
helpless and intimidated when filling any kind of forms or speaking in English
the one profession Zainudeen looked up to with awe n respect was "airline
counter lady at the airport”. Airport lady dresses well, speaks English fluently,
works on a computer and knows all about filling forms💁. This was the job he was aspiring for his daughter.
Today his daughter dresses well speaks well, writes well ,works on a computer
but as an engineer because she holds a distinction degree
that says Razina Zainudeen ,B.E Aeronautical
Engineering 😎.
She also can fill forms at any office without taking help.
Just loved this!! <3
