Chapter 1 Childhood

When I was born, nobody cared. I was the third and the last child so my mother had quite an experience of giving birth so I was an easy task to throw out of the womb. You always have memories of bitter pain of past as sweet memories of present but I was barely an pain for my mother so she literally doesn't know what actually happened when I was born. But she knows one story which I don't know is real or made up. she said I was really really fat when I was born so the nurse holding me upside down from one leg was running in the whole hospital like a maniac to tell everyone how fat I was. Now since it's the only story about my birth I really want to believe it but it's hard for me to believe that I was fat. Cmon look at me now. I am literally 47 kgs and I am 17! I actually fell down once cause of strong wind. I told mom that I don't believe in this then she said I was cursed by someone so I kept loosing weight overtime. Yeah that makes sense now. Now comes time for my unique name. Your Name movie would have been a failure if my name was used in it. Who the frick can remember Urvesh Gehlot more than five minutes? And its meaning is still a mystery for me. When I was being named, my father suggested 'Veer Bahadur' but then my mother said it's literally a security guard's name in a movie. Then the 'Pandit' suggested Urvesh which means Clouds and my parents were like 'okay'. It literally took a minute for my naming. Its not like I wanted a name like Christopher or Rayn or something cooler but atleast it's meaning should have been clear to everyone or at least me! Cause 2-3 years ago I searched my name's meaning on google and mostly every website said it means 'Shehnai' which is a musical instrument played in Indian marriages but that doesn't end here Shehnai is actually a renewed version of 'Pungi' which is an old instrument with a very shrill voice which was played by barbers in King's palace?? Really?? 'Pungi'?? I mean try to say pungi out loud yourself and you'll get why I am so mad on my name. Anyways, I'm slightly happy cause of it's uniqueness. I feel sorry for those people whose nes are like Ramesh and Manoj cause literally every third guy in India has the same name.

(Sorry for grammatical errors. English is not my first language so deal with it. I have posted the same story on reddit and ******* but no one read it so I dont have any high hopes for this app too but it's one of my first books I tried to write this is why I wanted to share it everywhere.)
