Sanket mishra - A Name so significant....

It was a bright sunny sunday morning of february with a fair and innocent brahmin woman shouting out with pains of delivering a life which had been nourishing since nine months in her womb. The gyanaecologist had lost hopes for a normal delivery and decided to operate the lady. With a team heading the gynaecologist,herself and a group of highly qualified physicains, it was finalised for a 18 hr sophasticated operation with the best medical service provided in the O.T.Hopefully,the outcome of the operation was successful with a caesarian baby born on 28th of the month,narrowly escaping by the leap year's day . The baby was fair,tall and quite healthy with bright yells(crys) on his face.The mother and father were both happy and pleased on having this child as a boy.The boy was their third child and only son beside the other two children who were girls.The family was now complete and their journey for a better bonding had begun on a good note of prosperity and happiness. like every other parents ,the mother and father were very cautious of their new born caesarian boy.They took all neccesary medical precautions to avoid any kind of infections and diseases effecting their child, the extent of which was the other two children were not permitted to even touch.Physically ,the boy was averagely estimated with a good physique and had impressed the visitors with his appearance who visited him in the hospital room where he took birth. To view this baby boy,all his close relatives from both the mother and father sides came with blessings and wishes for the new born. Packets of bournvita, biscuits and cerelac purchased from nearby stationaries were offered to the baby's mother on receiving which the mother gave pleasant smiles in return. The baby needed an identity after his birth inspite of being called by several pronouns and adjectives. And so the mother decided to consult the elders of the family.The elders took the whole hearted responsible to name the mother's baby.with all the permutations and combinations of various ritual names, they derived a name,identity "Sanket" which meant " an indication or symbol". Thus, he got a name so significant which was written on his birth,school, matriculate, intermediate and many more certificates.The society till date , recognise him with this name and associate their perceptions saying "ohhhhhhhh that sanket!!!".....and the process goes on..
