Y<\/span><\/p><\/div>

ears ago, when my aunt delivered a boy after a succession of four daughters, it was a cause for immense celebration for my <\/span>grandmothe<\/span><\/a>r \u2013 as if <\/span>Durga Pujo<\/span><\/a> had arrived early. Content that she had a grandson to carry forward the family name, she made a grand proclamation. She summoned my parents, multiple aunts and uncles and instructed them to commence on the pursuit of bestowing the most princely bhalo naam (\u201cgood name\u201d) for our family\u2019s newest member. <\/span>\n\nMy family members had just about a week before my grandmother would get them to congregate again for the naming ceremony. By contrast, my name and those of my sisters were zeroed in on within minutes. <\/span>\n\nAs my parents, aunts and uncles scrambled to be the first one to stake a claim to the baby\u2019s name and consulted elders for their opinion, my sisters joked that given his dramatic stately arrival, it\u2019d be apt to just name him \u201cRaja\u201d. Naturally, our suggestion remained unwelcome, and a week later, so did hundreds of suggestions from each of my relatives. <\/span>\n\nAt the end of an anxious three-hour gathering, a consensus was at last reached. With my grandmother\u2019s blessings, my brother was christened \u201cRounak\u201d after the priest deduced that he was destined to bring fame to our family. In her teary emotional stupor, my grandmother couldn\u2019t stop herself from indulging in a display of typically Bangaliana affection \u2013 in a split second, Rounak had also received the personalised nickname, Potlu.<\/span>\n\nIn that moment, the damage to my poor brother\u2019s ego was already done. Everyone present in the room collectively synced their memories to wilfully forget his \u201cgood name\u201d and intertwined his identity permanently with the dudly \u201cdaak naam\u201d, Potlu.<\/span>\n\n

Shakespeare would never have come up with \u201cWhat\u2019s in a name?\u201d had he known some Bongs.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nJust like <\/span>Bollywood<\/span><\/a> has Vivek Agnihotri and Yash Chopra has Uday Chopra, Bengalis have their daak naams: It\u2019s a part of your identity that you didn\u2019t ask for, and one that you can\u2019t shake off. It\u2019s essentially a walk of shame that never seems to end. <\/span>\n\nDon\u2019t be mistaken; a <\/span>Bengali <\/span><\/a>daak naam is not your usual pet name. In the rest of the country, nicknames have a purpose. They exist to make the process of addressing someone with a long name easier and in most cases, are used exclusively by one\u2019s family and friends. Typical nicknames also don\u2019t assume priority over a person\u2019s official name and are allowed to be sexy or aspirational, like a Tia or an Aahan.<\/span>\n\nIn <\/span>Bengal<\/span><\/a>, on the other hand, daak naams bear the weight of defining someone\u2019s personality. Even today, <\/span>RD Burman<\/span><\/a> is widely known by his daak naam Pancham Da and Sandip Ray is greeted as Babu Da. These are harmless, compared to Kolkata\u2019s biggest superstar Prosenjit. He might have a string of blockbusters to his credit, but at the end of the day, he\u2019s still Bumba Da for Bengal\u2019s heaving masses. I\u2019m just glad former president Pranab Mukherjee, an 82-year-old man\u2019s nickname \u201cPoltu\u201d remains in the shadows. <\/span>\n\nThe number of daak naams a Bengali has, is directly proportional to the number of relatives they can boast of. They come with the baggage of totally unnecessary mind games, where the maternal side\u2019s relatives stick to one variant that directly competes in popularity with the daak naam backed by the paternal side. It\u2019s an episode out of the passive-aggressive <\/span>Khatron Ke Khiladi<\/span><\/i>… except, it never ends. <\/span>\n\nBut, the most important fact to remember about a daak naam is that it isn\u2019t really one if it doesn\u2019t have the power to embarrass you. It comes from a good place really: Parents attempt to dip it in love, affection, and unbridled creativity, even if they end up with a daak naam as shameful as Ishant Sharma\u2019s <\/span>IPL<\/span><\/a> auctioning history. In fact, one can tell how much someone is loved by their families depending on how humiliating their daak naam is. Our parents utilised their cringe value the same way their parents must have done, naming a three-month-old daughter Buri (old woman) or a grown man Ghotlu.<\/span>\n\n

Just like Bollywood has Vivek Agnihotri and Yash Chopra has Uday Chopra, Bengalis have their daak naams.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nEven then, it would have been okay if the knowledge of this torturous daak naam was only limited to our families. Unfortunately, daak naams are like public property, misused by neighbours, enemies, and the neighbourhood doodhwala. As a result, your good name becomes a footnote in history; in fact, it\u2019s not uncommon to forget it yourself.<\/span>\n\nThe fact that there\u2019s also no explanation for these glorious nicknames makes the affair all the more frustrating. I mean, what in the world can justify a Nikhil Ganguli (Kal Penn in <\/span>The Namesake<\/span><\/i>) becoming \u201cGogol\u201d, \u00a0a 6\u20192\u2019\u2019 woman being called \u201cChutki\u201d, a gym buff labelled \u201cPuchu\u201d, or a fiercely opinionated activist being addressed as \u201cTushtushi\u201d?<\/span>\n\nTen years ago, when the aunt I despised completely ruined my prospective love life by loudly yelling \u201cMampi\u201d in an annoying fashion in front of my crush, I\u2019d consoled myself by remembering that I would leave behind the torture of the daak naam once I grew older. Except, I was as wrong about that future as RGV was about <\/span>RGV Ki Aag<\/span><\/i>. The shadow of the daak naam never leaves any Bengali\u2019s side, the same way <\/span>Amit Shah<\/span><\/a> is never parted from his bff <\/span>Modi ji<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\n\nNaturally, most of my days are now coloured by my ability to dodge queries from my colleagues, friends, and strangers \u00a0who display their inquisitive streak the moment they learn you\u2019re Bengali and ask the dreaded question: \u201cWhat\u2019s your daak naam?\u201d At this point, I\u2019m willing to fake <\/span>phone calls<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>small talk<\/span><\/a>, and even jaundice just to avoid answering that question. It\u2019s brought grown men and women to their knees in the past. In fact, the next time a <\/span>bhodrolok<\/span><\/a> tries indulging in his favourite hobby of obhimaan with you, just ask him his daak naam and watch his ego melt away.<\/span>\n\nEighteen years later, my now teenage brother has resigned himself to a lifetime of being called Potlu. Ironically, it\u2019s my grandmother who had made a saas-bahu episode out of naming him back in the day, who vehemently insists that everyone address him by his horrific daak naam. It\u2019s led me to one realisation though: Shakespeare would never have come up with \u201cWhat\u2019s in a name?\u201d had he known some <\/span>Bongs<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
