My Name Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

My Name

Rating: 5.0


As given with great fuss it once came,
With any a name though I'd be same.
Now in course of long time
Wonder, if worth a dime,
That in dust of habit hangs its frame,
And comes an argument
Hard to win gent to gent,
They call me still with a vilest name.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
With a great fanfare was I once given my name, a question when remains as to what is in a name. Some time down the line the poet in me declared: Not Buddha, I'm Aniruddha (there is a poem on PH) . Family and friends shortened it to Anu, and at times Anyo when angry. Tongue-in-cheek this piece reflects on this.

Thank you Dr Swain for your feedback. There is nothing in name and fame. The best thing to do is to treat them as game, you play and then forget. And as I said in another poem, we leave this all with open palms, nothing whatsoever with us, not even the points earned at PH.
