People: What's your name?
Me: Wreek
People: WHAT?!
Me: (stressing on the 'eek') WREEK
People: (confused) Spell it!
Me: W R E E K
People: Oh! Wreek.
Me: The double u is silent.
People: What does that mean?
Me: It has been derived from Rig Veda.
People: So your name is Rig. Right?
Me: No. It was modified.
People: What's your surname?
Me: Kundu.
People: Hmm?
Me: Never mind. Good day!
That would be my introduction. Yes, however unusual it may seem, the credit for people getting acquainted to me goes to my queer name. It is how I like it- short and sweet. Although, ever since people went gaga over Game of Thrones and when I learned about the ill-fated Greyjoy, you might understand why I stopped mentioning that the 'w' in my name is silent.
