Hello from Laddu.

Hello my Punjabi folk, I am Laddu. If any of you would know, my name is also the name of one of my favorite Indian sweets. Laddus, are little round sweet balls, and my mother makes the best ones in our little hut in India. The story of how I got my name is quite a funny one actually.

In my little village from India where I come from, we have a naming ceremony. The oldest and most learned lady chooses every one's names. When my father was just born, the lady was in a terrible mood, so one of the babies tried to give her a kiss after being named Vishnu. My father was unfortunately next, and right when my father was getting named, the lady who chooses everyone names yelled, "I Hate YOU!!" to one of the many people who had made her even more crankier. Thus, my father's name was "I Hate YOU!!"

My father felt horrible throughout the years whenever someone called his name, so he decided to make sure that I wouldn't have the same terrible fate he did when he got named. The same cranky lady was there the day I went to get named, so my father got laddus to make her not as cranky. My father handed her the box of laddus just a few seconds before I was supposed to be named, and right when I cam into her hands, she said, "Laddu!" with a happy smile on her face. Thus, by making her happy, I became so very sad. I mean, who like to be called Laddu head just because their head is extremely round?? All through my school and children hood years, I was teased because of my name.

But no more!! I shall come out and... no, I can't do anything about it. I am stuck with my name... I know, I CAN always change my name legally, but the Indian gods will not be happy, and they won't give me any more food, or money, or clothes, or shelter, and they will take away my IPod!! I can't live without my beautiful IPod, so I remain with the name Laddu.

Sigh, I know, its horrible, but now I shall leave, my dear mother is calling, she unfortunately needs help cleaning the dishes... so for now, this is Laddu, signing off!!! THEME MUSIC!!!
