Pet nomenclature

Thursday, October 11, 2007

I'm sure everyone, (and I only mean the regulars that frequent the internet, register themselves at random websites and such) has been posed with the secret question and of course, the secret answer while registering at internet sites. I always choose the "what was your first pet's name?". Now, like I mentioned elsewhere here, I dont do pets. Nope, I dont hate nor love them- having pets is just not me. You will find me petting other people's dogs, cats, turtles, gerbils- all and sundry- but I do know that I will never own one, never have, either. Then why would I choose to adopt this as my secret question?

A dictionary definition of the word pet says thus :
pet
–noun
1. any domesticated or tamed animal that is kept as a companion and cared for affectionately.
2. a person especially cherished or indulged; favorite: Eg : He was the teacher's pet.
3. a thing particularly cherished.

I choose option 2 :).

The End.


================================================

Anju
Jallu(for Jalajakshi, from the varnam of the same name)
Sooki
Droomi(for Drumadala, from our anthem-of course!)
Kelucharan(from the dancer)
Jhamkandi
Moodbidri
Cheedu(for Seethu)
Champa(or Champakali)
Shokka(cos I am Akka)
Anshuman
Arunima
Shambu
Jooj(or juju)
Rurubu
Sopayana


(pliss to make your own conclusion on what the above could be, I refuse to explain and be disowned to own 1/2 a mango tree, as has been threatened by a deceptively small-built firebrand). Enough damage done already!

Anyone out there looking to adopt?
