After relationships, love and romance...the Gujjus are my fav. topic to discuss/speak and..blog about.
They are strange.
They are passionate.
They are so goddamned crazy that I can never love them for their idiosyncrasies.
Lets take an example of their ability to name their children. What I mean is that with the mind-boggling ability with which they crack problems...you sure wud xpect them to have some creativity with names right? Nopes. You are wrong.
In a cross section of 100 Gujjus, you will roughly find:
20 Jignesh(s)
10 Kaushal(s)
20 Apurva(s)
20 Mehul(s)
10 Piyush(s)
20 Sheetal(s)
10 Amishi(s)
05 Nehal(s)
The (un) fortunate ones are blessed with names that twist the tongue as well as the mind. It is a latent talent which has been practiced and perfected through the generations. But now that is a story of another day.
There has been changes...Now you would find Sania, Soham, Arjun, Ansh, Aashil in almost as much as abundance as say a Jignesh or a Mehul. For all you know in the next 10 years we may have a brand new list. Very meticulous people, the Gujjus.
And I will have a brand new reason to have a confused look.
