One of the things that came to the forefront while we were struggling to pass out in class 12 was the fact that everyone is section A was known by their dad's name. They were mostly associated or called by their father's name. When this bit is relayed to people outside the heavenly gates of St thomas' those sissies all gasp as to how such rude behavior was taken in so easily by all the STB students, what these dandies don't know is that in STB you had to join em to even have a chance of surviving , saying No would mean you being vilified even by the geeks, another peculiar thing I found was the social classes which are shown commonly in those American school shows, the geeks, the gundas, the smart asses, the toppers, the popular guys, the comedians, the ones who get picked on all the time, etc.
Getting back to the topic, while the kids in that class were called their dad's name they never objected in fact some of them took the name to greater heights. I remember a time when people would call Babla ,"Babla" to piss him off, he would act all paranoid as half of his family always seemed to be around whenever he was called babla, hell once Kaps Hiramanek/Gaylord went to Babla's house before he became the infamous bassist of Underground Authority, and was shouting out while he was in his room, "Babla kahaaan hai? Ae BABLAAAAAA"
Now Babla has taken that name and changed it to Bubbla, to be different , and to be frank its a hell lot easier to spell and say than Soumyadeep Bhattacharya.
Plus its also for an identity , something that people can remember you by easily, hell that's why I came up with that Bonbon bit, although my nick name is Bonny ,again typically bengali family must have some sorta name for their kid, no matter how stupid or funny it is, babai, titil, raja, lovely,pom pom, bulai etc etc etc, with those kinda names, my "Bonny" does not seem so bad.
We all make or have names so that people later on remember "Oh shit that fucker was so funny" or in some other people's case "Are you fucking kidding? Don't ever talk to that idiot, saala randi of the millennium"
And of course if someone says "Damn I remember that retard , bonbon, better than anyone" is miles better than saying the same about Adeem, the alter ego, so the best thing you can do is give yourself a name, like one of those crazy kayzee online names people put up, its easier to remember people ,3D,Ani, Immy, Sri.easy to remember and then problems come when you have the Ajay's, The Varun's etc, am not saying that I confuse these people easily but if someone says "Ajay posted XYZ" , I would need the 2nd name, the title to understand who did what.
Then we have Gittu
