    It is indeed rare to have such ideal pairs...where even names match...and you have 5 such couples in your family..wow....but still i am sure it is confusing to have too many srinivas's and padma's :)

    Thanks

    :rotflHi sumitha,

    :rotfl:rotfl:biglaugh:biglaugh:biglaughonly you can do this to me early in the morning..

    What a topic you choose and how hillariously you narrated the entire issue...

    Yes i too agree.. these nicknames and prefixes to it.. Even in my family i really didnt knew many of mamas/ uncles real names (i only knew their nicknames..and we do call them with nickname suffixing mama to it...)

    And the Anotherman superman is the top of it... cant stop my self from laughing at it :rotfl:rotfl:rotfl

    hilarious post Sumitha...

    My colleague next to me must be thinking I've gone mad!
    I was just reminded of how many Narasimha murthy's are there in our family.. which translates into many generations and becomes postmurthy(worked for postoffice), rail murthy(worked for railway), poolmurthy (flower trader), attiguppe murthy (lives there), courtMurthy (works in court), karimurthy(is dark) oh it goes on... I never get which murthy they are talking about.. I just nod my head....

    Good one!
