Rachana !!! Yes that is the name given by mom going against the rule book of caste and religion. According to my family traditions, the birth time and place decides the first letter of your name. Well I do not remember what it was supposed to start with but it was not R !!
Rachana means creation. Its a Sanskrit word which denotes creativity.It can also symbolize the beauty of nature and the power of the human imagination. Ironically as the meaning , I love to write things , think different. My mother loves writing. She chose her first daughter’s name based on her passion.
My name was always been made fun of in high school because of me choosing Hindi as my second language. In Hindi, Rachana is often repeated. It is commonly attached to authors like “Prem Chand ki Rachana” which means Prem Chand’s writing or creation. But for my fate I had a classmate named Prem Chand LOL !!
