You have so poignantly captured the power a given name holds over us, often in ways that we don’t even realise for years. I admire your effort in shedding that identity and reclaiming your name. This was a great read, Utkarsha!
This is such a powerful piece! It's so true how a nickname, even seemingly harmless, can shape how others perceive us and even how we start to perceive ourselves. Insightful and beautifully written, Utkarsha.
More power to you, Sis. We are not defined by what others around us make us to be, but rather what we always have been, and you darling, have always been so much more than these names/ identities. You are the narrator and star of your life and no one should make you feel otherwise.
This piece is so accurate and relatable, on so many levels. Being one of your junior I would like you to know my perspective too, I always admired how soft spoken yet assertive you were, your knowledge always amazed me. Won't deny calling you panda ma'am but no longer remember you like that, you always were the most trustworthy senior from my college journey 🥰

Thank you Richa for your words. Earlier I used to wonder why they say that name has a play in personality. But now I understand it. 🌸

Loved the way you have put across your point, Utkarsha!
Funny coincidence, I am also called Panda by some of my friends. And now, I must contemplate whether I like it or not.
Thank you Isha. Well! If you are not comfortable being one, then you should definitely contemplate. 😁
