Whether it was a playful or surprising name, these stories offer a glimpse into the unique and sometimes bizarre nature of nicknames. From bitch to Ludwig, join us as we explore the most peculiar nicknames given by friends, family, and even strangers.

From Bitch to Cheeku

As a child, I was given the nickname 'bitch' due to my habit of playing others against each other and lacking true friends. Why would someone call someone a bitch? This nickname left a lasting impression, but over time, I've come to terms with and even accept such nicknames. Bitch or 'cheeku', both are better than 'damru'! Who would have thought that a nickname could be so versatile and enduring?

Relatives and Cheeku: A Family Tale

One of my female relatives used to call me 'cheeku,' a term that holds no meaning for me personally. Back in the day, I didn't admire this nickname, but now, it wouldn't bother me if someone called me that. Is it better than cheeku? Not really, yet it remains a softer touch compared to others. Jokes aside, it teaches us that nicknames can change with time and context.

Agni: A Modern PG Experience

Living in a PG (paying guest) with friends has led to some interesting nicknames. One such nickname is 'Agni,' which my friends have bestowed upon me. Interestingly, no one knows why 'Agni' was chosen; it just stuck. These nicknames often evolve based on shared experiences and endearments among roommates.

Ludwig: A Controversial Nickname from the Past

Some of the most memorable nicknames come from the past. In 1953, while working as an engineer, my colleague Merle Wright chose to call me 'Ludwig.' This name was not without its peculiarities; Merle provided a German pronunciation, greeting me with 'Hey good morning Lewd-vig how are you.' From a personal perspective, this nickname was not offensive and I didn't question it. In fact, I found it interesting.

Bahuubhali: A Unique One from NEET Coaching

Dealing with unique nicknames often comes from unexpected sources. In my NEET coaching days, my chemistry teacher had a habit of presenting complex chemical reactions in fill-in-the-blank style exercises. He would then address me as 'Bahuubhali' and ask, 'He had a great bassovi (base) did you get the answer?' This term stuck with me for the duration of my examinations. Despite not being a fan of Prabhas, it was a unique and memorable experience.

From 'bitch' to 'Ludwig', these nicknames exemplify the variability and emotional impact they can have on individuals. Whether they are remembered positively or negatively, they are a part of our personal history and share valuable moments from our lives.
