Some small people already call me that. They call me JC and Aai JK..i.e. short for Jyoti Kaki. These small people are kids from Aai’s crèche. I mean it’s so funny to hear the coarse voice which was once so kitten like asking on the phone JC, JK kai mhante..:)
People grow up.
Of pet names. I don’t have too many to my account. I always laugh at my old time pj..I am very few people’s pet. Honestly, I hate pet names. At least the cool ones like nicky, pinky, stupidity. I like my name. Whatever it is.. It is me.
Yet, the earliest pet name I had was Chicken. That was long time back. I was maybe just a couple of years old. There was just one more before this one..Mama used to call me Jui batata. I was one plump baby.
But chicken I was and chicken I am. Coward. Sometimes. I was scared of surreal stuff like ghosts then and I am scared of surreal stuff like ghosts even today. They used to call me chicken because I was like every other kid; cute. Then there were a couple of names at home..Juilu, juidu and some embarrassingly cute ones.
At school people used to call me a lot of stuff. Most irritating was Citra. The soft drink I never tried. I hate soft drinks.. and hard too. Coffee doesn’t fall in any of the 2 categories. Okay. We will talk about drinks in some other post.
Then later on when I was in Pune there was this Zzzzzzuiiiiiiiii. It went Zzzzuiing..sort of a thing. Also, was V calling me Zoo..that Zoo thing, I still get to hear it. And someone calling me Flower Girl.
One pet name which almost feels like some title to me is Juda. We as family have seen Ben-hur the film a lot many times. Together. Aai used to call me Juda then .. very often. Now she does sometimes.. I was going through a not so great time in life. . She used to call my lanky 16-17 year old self.. Juda.
