A New Beginning

A new beginning, indeed. The slices of kiwi and cake from the past have been put away. That chapter is over. And I'm glad to be done with that part of my life. Bigger and better things await, eh?

So. The name of my blog? I came to the realization a few weeks ago that BARELY anyone calls me by my full name. I actually went through the list and ended up finding a BAZILLION nicknames. My mami, bhaillu, and Sonzi all call me Kavi. I think that's cute, and I'm glad to be able to relate being called that to them as opposed to people that are a part of my past. My older mama used to call me Kita, and when Nikita was growing up, she called me the same thing, because she couldn't pronounce my whole name. My younger cousin used to call me Kiwi, and my fua still calls me that with a big laugh everytime he sees me.

Sruth had a whole mess of names for me . . . my favorites were ativak and kakes. Kapoori and RT call me kk. The number of nicknames that Aashay possesses could span the world. When I was younger, they called me Veeda, Evita, Velveeta Shells and Cheese . . . there's just a huge list of 'em. So I picked my favorite ones and strung them together and ta-da! There's my blog title.

I'm glad that no one calls me by my full name. For some reason, I've decided I don't like my name. It's too common, and I like thinking of myself as one of a kind. And the syllables are too hard. Yes, I am strange - I sit around anyalyzing my name. Sue me!

Well, that's my first post. I want to write more, but I'm going to get back to work for now. I'm sure I'll be back for more later on.
