Have you read…
‘Mein Kampf’, by Adolf Shantlgruber…?
A rambling, infinitely repetitive, painfully monotonous, factually dubious, badly written diatribe about how one man`s life and people was being destroyed by a group of devilish, infiltrating foreigners…

But seriously…
And your new name is…
Adolf Von Lidlburger

Bit of a point here, Shantam but…
These are not Indian names. The are Sanskrit names, or that was what I was told back in 1975!

Monks often take names to usher in their new life, they are Latin names.

Ok, dear, I shall accept your good gesture too, Shantam

Sometimes answer comes from somewhere:
“EIch habe keine Zeit für politische Korrektheit»” – “I don´t have time for political correctness.” (Donald Trump).

P.S:
I reciprocate the good gesture; I really wish you too find your peace in your active and passive life, dear Kavita.

Shantam…

When did you ever feel so authentically German, with stirrings of Wagnerian proportions, leading you from your estranged and mere birth-land of India, to feverishly take up domicile in the land of leder-hosen, bratwurst, health insurance, barrel-chested middle aged men and discount supermarkets, with tears in your eyes for having finally come home?

At least give yourself a fifty-fifty east-west name. How about Swami Sherman ChaiShop, or Swami Sigiwald Lidl-Wallah?

“With all the love and respect, I am waiting to read the answers of other bloggers who are not Indians but wearing Indian names.” -

Even though you haven’t addressed your query towards born Indians, I couldn’t help myself from barging in. Your contempt, which is so very direct & repulsive – I guess one has to have encountered it oneself sometime/all the time, or else how could one just go on & on & on…?

I really wish you find your peace in your active life, Shantam.

With all the love and respect, I am waiting to read the answers of other bloggers who are not Indians but wearing Indian names.

Question is also, how long? The master himself discarded His Indian name and title; is there still some relevance to go on holding the ticket of the cinema hall which has long turned into a shopping mall?

SS,
It sounds like Keith Richards, Frank Gallagher and that guy out of the Happy Mondays have joined the Inner Circle.
