ID : AlpeshChaudhari

Reason :
As the population of the world is more than 6 billion, some people eons ago decided to call each other by some name.
And, after my birth on 03-06-1986 my parents (it seems, who believed on those people mentioned above) decided on that ID.....err........name Alpesh.

As per the part Chaudhari is there, I really don't know why THEY chose this one.:-|:-|

And, I like to flaunt my name



Alps

Hi
I dont think I need to tell meaning of my ID to the fans of Harry Potter.
For others it is the spell to open the doors.

I never thought my username is that odd, till, the time i went in a PG meet in delhi to be precise. Anyway my name is darpan and i was born in the auspicious month of july. That is all the reason for such an Username.

I never realized what went behind my username until recently at a pg meet someone asked me.. and I Was kinda at a loss of words then. Till date I never thought why on earth out of all things did I end up picking "diva" as my username..

that somehow was stalled there.. until I accidentialy came across this thread.. and there I start thinking. Y o Y this word appeal to me.. And I starting going through its history..

The term "diva" was originally used to describe a woman of rare, outstanding talent. It derives from the Italian word 'divina', meaning "divine" (feminine form), which, in turn, derives from the feminine form of the Latin word "divus/diva" meaning "goddess" or "fine lady".:angel:

Well, “diva” is also synonym for “prima donna.” And that term originally meant “a principal female singer in an opera or concert organization.”

Now to tell u.. I cant sing.. so tht completely puts me outta the diva league..

but then i came across another extended meaning ie “a usually glamorous and successful female performer or personality.” which did pull my spirits high. :happy:

Ok.. enough of etymology and dissection of the word..

What appealed to me about it was the magnificent grande aura around this word. I guess deep down in my heart I might be wanting to be called as a diva in all the arenas in my life..

Hehehe, it was a fun reading this part!

SimplyDee part: Obviously, for the simple reasons, I am here on pg, so called it "Simply" . Now, the Dee part has got essence (derived from D, always ) from one of my beloved friend and bada bhai, who passed out from iima last year. :tongue:

And again Dee part is nothing but first three letters of my name. :smile:

Inspired by Greek mythology....There were two Ajaxes mentioned in the 'Iliad'..Ajax the Lesser & Ajax the Great...Ajax the Great was the son of Telamon...He was second in strength & stature only to Achilles


And what he greatly thought, he nobly dared.

Regards,
Arun
