And I guess it is the same with Janaki and me ; of course, there are the 'moments' where 'romantic sort of names' appear, but yes, she is perhaps the only one who actually calls me 'Sidharth'. For the rest of the world, it's always been Sid. Except on official documents, that is.Sid @ iwrotethose.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726189024235943108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579671752707276248.post-84760948714935897602015-05-02T01:46:48.828-07:002015-05-02T01:46:48.828-07:00LOL...Japaani Janu.

I know of someone who deliberately takes the name of her husband merely to irk the elders. So we have all kinds depending on the age, class, culture, city and region. I like Memsaheb too.

I never thought I would ever be putting this down, but I don't call the L&M by name! He is not suniye but Suno! said with great authority :D I also don't append the 'ye' while talking to him. We mostly speak Hindi at home and even when I speak in Tamil, it is in the singular. Of course belonging to the dinosaur generation, I still care about not offending elders and so give him all respect while addressing him in their presence. And for the records he doesn't address me except as Memsaab and even that has been given up these days. He says something loudly when he needs my attention and I reply him :D But Alka, the only line that really jumped at me was the last one. Shows the great divide that separates the two Indias so succinctly :(Zephyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03900695572499869739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579671752707276248.post-1476792933745679422015-04-30T09:06:17.290-07:002015-04-30T09:06:17.290-07:00Loved your take on this, Alka esp since it has hit...Loved your take on this, Alka esp since it has hit home hard ;)<br /><br />I remember my mom used to address as Mrs. X and Bhai Saheb's to all their husbands. While never heard her take my dad's name. It used to be Mr. X or Sunte ho types. <br /><br />It is all our choice on how to address our better halves and yes, there are still some MIL's who do not approve of their DIL to take their husband's names. It "was" in my family too :( <br /><br />With regards to mine...I prefer nicknames and usually say the name when angry!<br /><br />xoxoRuchira Khannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785488638308126879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579671752707276248.post-45494572431558138712015-04-30T03:25:34.745-07:002015-04-30T03:25:34.745-07:00This is the comment of the day!

I still haven't decided how to address him. I usually address him as 'Hello'. Yes, that's true. It is actually embarrassing when I do that in a public space with everyone staring at me with a question mark: 'Who me?'. The other way I address him irks him a lot but trust me I do it unintentionally. Guess what, I call him 'Bhaisaab'. :-P Mom still uses Malayalam version of 'Suniye ji' and Dad addresses her by her first name. We have always wondered if they were simply colleagues working in an organisation set up by God to take care of us.
