And who's gets to keep their own name, if it's a man marrying a man, or a woman marrying a woman?
And why do I have to change my name after marriage, when I have lived my life and made my career with the name I was born with?
And why are educated men, who otherwise vouch for women's rights, suddenly get so frigid when it comes to what names their girlfriends and wives use?
Thoughts after a discussion in class on the subject that has sparked off questions, discussions and a lot of unwarranted fights between otherwise perfectly happy couples...

baah! I couldnt care more.Getting high together sounds more fun.
Interesting. It doesn't, actually. And the thing is, it's a world wide phenomenon. Changing your name doesn't prove anything.
But when I get married, I'm grabbing the chance to change both names. Pooja is rather a boring first name. Chesire Chameli or something fancy like that. :D
moo: you are just blaaah!!!
sharanya: surprising, isn't it?! how some things transcend all geographical barriers
poojo: brilliant idea...get a completely new name...no father, no husband
dee sounded eerily like varun in that comment!
and varun b nice loving man. he had once stated that i should live with the name that i was born with. and no man you will possibly hate within 2 yrs of marriage is worth changing a name for.
but he totally supports me everytime i want to change my name to anything but mine and his name.
we need more like them. father-in-law and son-in-law.
wat similarities!
heh!
I think the couple should quietly contemplate for a minute about who's the pig.
Things will automatically come to light. :)
Settled.
PS: your header pic is brilliant!
