Hi All, Searching for real identity by Biji, continued by Viji, Josun, Welchi etc is really cool.... now we all know there is something in a name. think many of us have similar problems. Me too join with you guys... it is since long time I am getting enquiry about my name. Suresh is a Hindhu name and when 'Kumar' added to it confirms i am a Hindu guy. Most of my friends believed that I am Hindu and when they came to know that I am not it was quite surprising for them.
How i got this name : When they got their first baby born Mr. Jose & Mrs. Mary Jose were discussing with all family members for a good name. That time my uncle who named 'Joseph' was Commander in Indian Navy and he was facing lot of problems with that Christian name, my parents want me also to follow my uncles steps (join Armed forces) so decide to put some name suitable for a Army officer (T.J. Suresh kumar). As they wished i joined Sainik School, Kazhakootam, Trivandrum (Military School by Central Govt.) when I am 12 years old but later I found it is not my field. Any way that name remained with me. There is many instances in Jesus Youth meetings others surprised how a Hindu guy leading prayer group etc. I still remember once in our college prayer group we had a meeting with sisters in the neighboring convent. After the prayer meeting Mother superior was talking to the crowd. She was saying 'How beautiful it is. it is really inspiring for me how your prayer group leader pray. Even though he is a Hindu he is a good model for all of us.....etc etc..." my friends starts laughing... Later on she told me she shared about me (Hindu guy leading College prayer group) in other places also.... :) recently I got a mail from one saying my name sounds like I am a Tamil... here in sri Lanka one Traffic police caught me and I told him Since I am a foreigner dont know this one is 'One way' etc...He looked at my Driving Licence he read 'Suresh Kumar'...and Announced 'No No.. You are a Sri lankan.. This is a Sri Lankan name' he never agreed that i am an Indian till I show my passport... then he announced... 'Indian.. Sri Lankan..American.. same rule'... other funny thing, once I got a proposal and there also came the name issue... After all this incidents I thought it is better to have the Christian 'Jose' with my name. So I am 'Suresh Kumar T. Jose' now..... One thing i like to tell you...i never regretted about my name... I am happy that I am 'Suresh Kumar' Hey that's all for now, Love you all, Suresh Colombo, Sri Lanka Visit my web page : www.crash.to/suresh **************************************************************** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
