What's the story behind your username and avathar?

[scorpio]

Some usernames on this hub are funny, some are misleading (ahem, excuse me!), some look so real to real-life name, some look like acronyms, some look like spelling mistakes :lol:... whatever be, our username identifies us to fellow hubbers in this wonderful community.

Why don't we share the reason/ story behind our username??

Starting with mine, it's my sunsign. Didn't want to use my real name or initials, so I opted for that for easy rememberance. Honestly, never imagined it would cause so much of discussion on the hub :D

What's your story??

[NM]

Well...scorpio.....
Mine is very simple....just initials..my name and my dad's (ir also constantly reminds me of a dearly departed ex....) :cry:
Nothing glamourous!! :wink: :wink:

[Sandeep]

Its simply my first name.

[nirosha sen]

:lol: Mine's a pseudonymn of course!! Sens are such smart people, so decided to be one for the writer in me!! But beyond that, it's a convenient barricade to protect my own privacy!! :D

Nirosha lives in Cyberspace and for the papers Pa!! :wink:

[Akash]

Usually, i am called by my First name, Calling with Second name is Normal, so i just divided my 2nd name into 2 and took the 2nd part of it!!

my name is in this format :

<X> <Y>Akash!!

[Roshan]

Mine is just the middle name and I only use it in the hub and also when corresponding with my hub friends.

[mandangi]

My surname is Mandangi. Generally people use their first names. But i use my surname in most of the portals i use.

[Shakthiprabha.]

wow kewl topic at last!

My username story is kinda unusual. I have said it time and again in other egroups which I participate, and ppl are TIRED OF hearing it.

Anyway here it goes.

My name is Prabha. Ages back, when I used to post here (around 3 years back), I was initially posting as 'THINKER'.(too confident about my ablity i guess :lol:).

Then when I posted or replied in poetry section, ppl used to address ME AS "mr.thinker". That used to irritate me a lot.

(why is it, thinkers need to me male eh?)

THen i thought, I should keep a feminine name, (but did not wanan use my real name, for the fear of misuse)

During those days, there was a T.V serial of banupriya named
"shakthi" (MEANT TO BE USED TO REFER FORM OF LADY)

So I started posting as 'SHAKTHI'.

The prob did nto stop. "hi.mr.shakthi' used to be the replies I would get. (Why is not shakthi a female name!!)

So I started using 'Shakthipriya'. Many ppl who knew me as 'shakthi', did not like my new name.

So I went back to 'Shakthi'. Recently, I felt, nothing wrong in using my name, but not many were comfy calling me 'PRABHA'.

I had to prefix "Shakthi" to my name So thats the story of

"Shakthiprabha".

(dont bash me if its not intersting :lol:)

[Akash]

:cry: Such a brief explanation!!
Peyar Pirantha Kadai!!

[blahblah]

So nothing interesting so far guys?You have something interesting here.And it is related to the old hub.So guess what-will you please? :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Shakthiprabha.]

// Such a brief explanation!!
Peyar Pirantha Kadai!!//

:lol:

I thought of explaining more....like a story :))

Spared u guys...MONDAY AFN...all of u must be snoring on ur desk....:P (except ladies ofcourse :lol)

[Akash]

Yea, we guys prefer Snoring to Gosshiping!!

[Shakthiprabha.]

Akash,

Gossiping is TALKIN ABOUT OTHERS WHEN THE PERSON IS NOT AROUND.

Talking ill about anyone

I was talking about myself.

I disagree it is gossip.

Sometimes talking about oneself is refered to as 'BLOWING ONE'S OWN TRUMPET' or BOASTING or braging.

I assure u, it was NONE OF THOSE. I shared the story as per the topic started.

Anytime, if anyone is bored, or is busy with work, or prefers snoring, I ASSUME they can skip any post. Good luck and happy snoring.

[scorpio]

Hi SP,

Thanks for a nice story..

Brief as Blah Blah says, thats typical you, isn't it? :wink: :wink:

[blahblah]

Hi SP,

Come on!That was said by that running fellow! :x :D

[Akash]

//Spared u guys...MONDAY AFN...all of u must be snoring on ur desk....Razz (except ladies ofcourse :lol) //

I said for this SP!! Guys prefer snoring rather gals prefer Gossiping.. I have'nt said it for yr Brief Explanations :)

[Shekhar]

I am what you see... :D Simple.. No camaflague..

To think of it... your user name tells a lot about you.. not what it is outwardly.. but what is said, what is unsaid, what is implied directly or ironically.. what you want others to see you as.. Whether there is an attempt to create something that others want to see you as..

That way Mr. Mandangi is more straight forward than most of us. And you look at his postings.. straight from his mind..not duplicity whether you like it or not.

Nirosha Sen... afraid?!!

Akash.. secretive?! Though looks simple, not so.. cutting and chopping making it a code..

blahblah? .. This one beats me... laughing at himself? great!!

NM ... I am here... Switch off the light.. don't see me.. guess my gender?!! My god!! how could any body mistake you for a man?!!

Scorpio.. You want to be identified, yet scared?? ..Same as above as far as gender goes..

Shaktiprabha ... "THINKER"?!!! :lol: That's a revelation..So that was you!!! I remember an interaction with you ages ago..

Roshan.. Middle name?! Didn't quite get it..

[NM]

Shekhar,

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Really enjoyed reading your post!!!
"NM ... I am here... Switch off the light.. don't see me.. guess my gender?!! :lol: :lol: Seriously, I didn't know it implied all those things!!! :rotfl: :rotfl:
"My god!! how could any body mistake you for a man?!!"...well...Akash, Surya, Shakthi did!! :tongueout: :poke: Anyway, this was good to end my day!!

[Akash]

Akash.. secretive?! Though looks simple, not so.. cutting and chopping making it a code..

:roll:

[nirosha sen]

Yup, I do have fear of all kinds of riff-raff out there!! :x

Cyberspace on the other hand has no frontier Pa!! So, it's a lawless zone!! One that I might timidly step into with trepidation in heart but try to come out unscathed and unfettered if possible!!

:lol: Hey I'm only Human Pa!!

[Shakthiprabha.]

//Shaktiprabha ... "THINKER"?!!! That's a revelation..So that was you!!! I remember an interaction with you ages ago.. //

Wonder whats so hilarious shekhar????

Anyway intersting bits of facts! THough nothing can be guessed from my name i understand....(may be thats me...CLUELESS :lol:)

I am eagerly waiting for 2 of the members to write here.....

they are.........

1. blahblah
2. hehehe walrus

:lol:

[jaiganes]

No guesswork needed to get my username right. As far as the missing 'h' is concerned, it is because of 'pazhakka dhosham'. As all Jaiganesh es of the world beat me in getting the full user name, I patented jaiganes all over the web. In the same swing, I resitered myself as jaiganes and only then I realized that Jaiganesh was very much available for taking. :lol: :lol: :? :shock:

[a.ratchasi]

I happen to come across forumhub many many years ago, precisely around the time Mudhalvan was released.

It so happened that one of my juniors, not knowing that I am a senior teased me by singing 'alagane ratchasiye' song...call me vain but what do you expect when vengayams and sultans were reigning the hub then?

So I decided to use ratchasi as my nick ever since. :)

[Surya]

Oh So the a stands for Alagana?

Wow! How long has the HUB been around???? Admin/Mod, Could u guys please answer this? :)

[Mad Max]

Vengayam was a great satirist. I still remember his last post in the roll of honor thread where he imitated the posting styles of the hubbers. Too bad he left the hub.

I wonder what happened to Krishna who was always picking fights with Ashok and Uncle Sid.

[RR]

Oh So the a stands for Alagana?

Wow! How long has the HUB been around???? Admin/Mod, Could u guys please answer this? :)

Since 1997.

[Querida]

ok Blahblah i'll try and guess...let me see you probably put up a great retort/reply and the hubber which it was directed to couldn't comprehend how to answer back...so just to insult you the hubber says all you said was blah blah as in boring and unimportant...even though it was far from the truth. :wink: How was that? Am i even close? :?: :huh: :D

[Roshan]

Roshan.. Middle name?! Didn't quite get it..

Shekhar,

I do have a long name - with my surname it comes to 5 long words (?). It's because my Dad and Mom had their own choices of names for me and ultimately ended up naming me with both their choices :)

Roshan is one of those names which comes in the middle. My name and its meaning has been discussed a couple of times in the hub. Once when there was a discussion about my gender Shakthi said Roshan means - "Light" ( as usual Shakthi thought I was a male :lol: ). And in Arabic it is "World". What ever the language - I'm happy that my name has some good meaning :D

[Shekhar]

Akash.. secretive?! Though looks simple, not so.. cutting and chopping making it a code..

:roll:

No Akash, I didn't mean anything negative.. I only implied that the exercise is so clever, that you have your identity yet so hidden that even your friends may not relate this name to you. You should have been in Army Intelligence!! :) :)


Wonder whats so hilarious shekhar????

If you don't remember, then I won't tell you. It is better this way.
As such you are treating me like a pariah, and if I tell you, you will forever shoot poisoned arrows at me!! :lol: :wink:

[scorpio]

"Come on!That was said by that running fellow! "

Oops, Blah Blah, echoose me and redirect credits to Akaasu!

[Cinefan]

There's nothing interesting in my name.When i came across this forum in Dec 2003&decided to post,I used 'Kamalfan'a couple of times but then it was too restrictive.Since this is primarily about films&music,I thought 'Cinefan'would be an apt choice.

[Akash]

you have your identity yet so hidden that even your friends may not relate this name to you. You should have been in Army Intelligence!! :) :)

Hummm Scorpio Identified my Second Name :x

[scorpio]

Hi all,

Thanks for yr participation, as Roshan said elsewhere, this thread is really cool 8) (Now, JG, don't accuse me of cross-thread chasing).

Shekhar, liked yr analysis, as usual. Initially, I wanted to use my initials -RR , but as our admin had already hijacked it, chose my sun sign instead.

Before I began this thead, I had formed an opinion about most hubbers here, after all, its our usernames that identify us here, isn't it? Will share it, now that many of you have shared yr story.

NM - Could guess it should be initials, easy to remember too.

Sandeep and Shekhar- I was right in guessing that should be real names.

Akash- This guy fooled me. thought he belongs to the above list in the beginning, now, I guessed his second name and have started staring at those in my ofice with that name, if he is the ever running hubber :x

Niro- I knew u were a mallu and hence, couldn't fix that 'Sen' to a Keralite. Thanks for yr explanation. Does yr real name rhyme with Nirosha?

Roshan- I thought it is yr first name, but anyways, close guess.

Mandangi - No points for guessing that, so obvious. Bold enough to give full name, photo :wink: and a lengthy address!

SP - I have seen u in the old hub as Shakthipriya. As mentioned ealier, you get full marks for such a detailed explanation.

JG - Honestly thought of it either as a spelling mistake or a person deeply interested in Numerology. Now, I know the truth!

a. ratchasi - Was about to ask u if u r a Shankar fan, you replied first though!

I'll add my guesses right away about others who are yet to share their story!

Querida- Why don't u enlighten me with the real meaning of yr name?

mellon- First, thought as a spelling mistake with an extra 'l' instead of 'melon'. Pl. share the reason.

Cinefan - Do u really spend half yr salary on seeing movies? Ennappa reason?

Cindy- The glowing ex-avatar went well with this name. I always thought this is a nick. Correct?

BlahBlah, hhhw, Idiappam - Pl. share y story. Touch nuts to crack ( not u, but yr usernames :lol: )

r_kk - Have a feeling that r is yr initial and name should be some krishnakumar or something similar.

Rohit, aravindhan, sonu gopi, surya, PP, Raghu, Hemant - Think these are real names.

arr - A R Rahman fan-aa?? Illa initial-aa?

NOV - Ah! All capitals- Is this an acronym? Or were u born in November??

Will share more about others as and when I decipher !! :P

[scorpio]

OOps, Cinefan,

Before I finished typing that lenghty post, u'v replied! Thanks 8)

[blahblah]

Good guess!
Before I come out with mine guys,did you all notice one guy called Supreme?Just go to his posts,[only six of them] consider the language and context and form an opinion,will you?I have formed mine already. :lol: :banghead: :rotfl:

Clue: This guy joined just three days back. :twisted:

Warning:Don't make life difficult for people. :roll:

[NOV]

NOV - Ah! All capitals- Is this an acronym? Or were u born in November??Very simple and known to old-timers of this forum. :)

Namma-Ooru-Velan :lol:

[Roshan]

Hi all, Initially, I wanted to use my initials -RR , but as our admin had already hijacked it, chose my sun sign instead

I was right in my guessing regarding your user name ! :D



NM - Could guess it should be initials, easy to remember too.

Sandeep and Shekhar- I was right in guessing that should be real names.

I thought the same !



Akash- This guy fooled me. thought he belongs to the above list in the beginning, now, I guessed his second name and have started staring at those in my ofice with that name, if he is the ever running hubber :x

Never made an attempt to guess ! :)


Niro- I knew u were a mallu and hence, couldn't fix that 'Sen' to a Keralite.

Right from the beginning I knew that she was a mallu though she was talking more about Tamil :) The Sen part therefore confused me as well.


Roshan- I thought it is yr first name, but anyways, close guess.

I always wanted to stick to my own name but did not want to use my first name coz, it's something really uncommon. Hence settled with Roshan.


Mandangi - No points for guessing that, so obvious. Bold enough to give full name, photo :wink: and a lengthy address!

Correct!! :)


SP - I have seen u in the old hub as Shakthipriya. As mentioned ealier, you get full marks for such a detailed explanation.

As usual I had no problem with the gender issue here but I thought Shakthi was her own name.


JG - Honestly thought of it either as a spelling mistake or a person deeply interested in Numerology. Now, I know the truth!

I thought it was something to do with numerology :lol:


a. ratchasi - Was about to ask u if u r a Shankar fan, you replied first though!

I have seen her in Tamil film section during the time of Mudhalavan release. The term 'azhagaana ratchasi' was very popular at that time and it became her obvious choice I guessed.


Querida- Why don't u enlighten me with the real meaning of yr name?

Querida has given some explanation about her name I remember. It means 'darling' in some language which I cant remember now. Queri, why dont you give your explanation.


mellon- First, thought as a spelling mistake with an extra 'l' instead of 'melon'. Pl. share the reason.

She is my good old friend hence have nothing to say :D


Cinefan - Do u really spend half yr salary on seeing movies? Ennappa reason?

I have seen him only in the Tamil film section in the old hub and knew that he was a Kamal Hassan fan. So nothing confusing about his user name.


Cindy- The glowing ex-avatar went well with this name. I always thought this is a nick. Correct?

I agree with scorpio on Cindy's avatar. But I think 'Cindy' is part of her own name.



BB, MM, Geno - I couldnt help the feeling that all three are the same person :? Confused to the core!

I hav no confusion at all here. Obviously all three are different and all the hubbers know it very well. BB and MM have given lengthy explanations on their user names before. As for geno - again he is my good old friend and let me leave the explanation to him though I know I have rightly guessed the reason behind his nick. :D


BlahBlah, hhhw, Idiappam - Pl. share y story. Touch nuts to crack ( not u, but yr usernames :lol: )

Yeah! please share your stories !!



r_kk - Have a feeling that r is yr initial and name should be some krishnakumar or something similar.

I think it's his initials !!



Rohit, aravindhan, sonu gopi, surya, PP, Raghu, Hemant - Think these are real names.

All the old hubbers know that Raghu is an ardent fan of Raghuvaran. He used to post as Raghuvaran before. Therfore I think it's his nick and not the original. As for the rest I know PP uses her own name and I guess the others too use their own names.


arr - A R Rahman fan-aa?? Illa initial-aa?

Did not attempt to guess though it reminds AR Rahman.


NOV - Ah! All capitals- Is this an acronym? Or were u born in November??

And finally NOV. As usual NOV is confusing with his nick too ... though to some extent I know a handle he used in the old hub :wink:

[blahblah]

So I am one of the most wanted,right? :?

I was there in the old hub too and was using my real name then.Many times,the discussions disintegrated to verbal abuse and I had to try too hard to keep my cool.Rarely I paid some of the guys back,the way they asked for it.I saw that my name reveals some of my identity[like religion,state,language etc] and I had the feeling that some of the old hubbers are prejudiced just because of these things while they do not know anything about myself or my attitude. :x :x

When this hub was opened I expected it to go the same way.[though fortunately it didn't].So I concealed my real name and having some sense of humour and as I can laugh at myself,when I thought about a username,it came to my mind instantly-BLAHBLAH :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
And that was all what was going on in the old hub too. :lol: :lol:

[Akash]

Dr. Scorpio, Ph.D in Nick Names!!
Roshan the Research Guide!!

[Sandeep]

my name reveals some of my identity[like religion,state,language etc]

YAH :huh:

As if we dont know now.

But yours is one avathar that meets your screen name. Bugs Bunny always keeps chattering ("Blah Blah")

[Roshan]

I had the feeling that some of the old hubbers are prejudiced just because of these things while they do not know anything about myself or my attitude. :x :x

This is the reason why most of the hubbers dont use their own name!! Specially because of certain arrogant- foolish - religious fanatics !! :twisted:



having some sense of humour and as I can laugh at myself,when I thought about a username,it came to my mind instantly-BLAHBLAH :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh! blahblah !! now I think I should have guessed it :cry: knowing very well about your sense of humour :D

[jaiganes]

Numerology! me ????
good heavens NO!!
If it would have been numerology, then I should have written it as Jaiganeshu or Jaaiganesh as my friend who is an expert in numerology tells me. I told him No thank u! I have some what poor memory so I never use encryptes usernames anywhere. This is after I lost couple of logins to mailboxes because I had chosen very complicated nick names. :lol: :lol:
I also refrained from using my last name as my mexican friend told me that it sounded like a (spanish) vegetable name!!! :lol: :lol:

[nirosha sen]

I'd like to crack the Mellon code - could it be a translation for Kalyani Pushini????? Which could mean, her name is Kalyani?????

As for Blah-Blah - The cat is already outta the bag, Pa!! But I prefer Blah-Blah - very enigmatic!! :lol:

Querida - It was Spanish, Pa!!

Walrus???? What's your excuse????? :D

Supreme - Not Andavan are you???? Watching too much Selvi, Pa!! :lol:

[blahblah]

Supreme - Not Andavan are you???? Watching too much Selvi, Pa!! :lol:

Watch what you really need to Niro! See his posts and don't you think that you have seen him somewhere over the past week? :lol:

I guess even this guy is beautiful and confident. :lol:

[Akash]

Supreme, UN just called for Ban on Human Clone!! :D

[suressh]

:)

suresh is my name but happened to spell wrongly as suressh... :cry: that is my usernames sOgak kathai....

if and all i would want to know about ones user name that would be "veenaapponavan"s..... highly contracdicting....

:)

[mandangi]

For me using surname is best option. There are many people named Praveen all over India. But people with my surname are seen only in some parts of Orissa and Andhra Pradesh. So i use my surname as user name in most of the portals.

You simply didn't answer our questions Sir,in case you really undestood?

[jaiganes]

Just time pass.
Internet anagram finder informs me that the user name I have chosen has a perfect anagram of "A Sane Jig", meaning a sensible dance or jump.
Visit this
http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/

for cool anagrams.

Some of our hubbers nicks turn out to be nteresting anagrams.

[Akash]

I still don't understand why you need protection from your own name? What are you paranoid about? Whom are you afraid of and What are you afraid of?

Hey Cindy !!

Though I thought 'Cindy' was your original name.. the thought about Cindy Crawford crosses my mind when ever I see your glittering avatar. I even thought of mentioning it when posting about your user name. She is my favourite and I consider her as one of the most beautiful women. :)

Good to see you back with that glittery avatar !! :D

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many replies in just 24 hours (except hehehewalrus who prefer not to disclose the story behind his name!)

Suressh,

Enna numerology padi, double 's' sollitaangaLa? :lol:

I also would love to know 'VEENAPONAVAN's reason to post
as 'VEENAPONAVAN'. You know in marketing, u have a term called
'NEGATIVE marketing'.

You attract others, by doing something outrageous, or naming
urself in a questionable manner. May be veenaponavan tried it.

Following names sometimes made me wonder...

* I wanna know WHY MALLIGAI is called malligai

* One old hubber ( I think he or she does not write anymore)
who addresses herself IN THE FORM OF *ALPHABETS*.

* Querida..I always thought is a FRENCH WORD TO MEAN SOMETHING akin to 'INTELLIGENT'.

* Nirosha Sen, I assumed was a 100 PERCENT SHUDH, PURE, BENGALI.

* Akash, a delhite!? or a mumbaite? (may be something like akash upadyay, or akash verma? to add along :lol)

Thats about it I guess!....

Its funny, we assume something when we read a particular name. We draw a mental picture of a person, based on their style of writing. Sometimes THEY ARE TOTAL CONTRADICTORY to what we assumed :))

Raghu: always thought HE WOULD LOOK LIKE A twin brother of
raguvaran.

good luck.

__

So many old hubbers are here with new names. There are some
fools like me, who stick on to our names, and never let
anyone go crazy with guesses. Can anyone come out with
WHAT NAME THEY USED TO WRITE IN OLD HUB?(IF THEY HAD
WRITTEN).

TOO MANY NEW FACES, NEW NAMES..hmmm

I hear PPL SAY...

"
sp,

Thats typical you!"

Those comments cant be given, by new acquaintances.
Anyway.... its either i am too transparent, or..
I am lazy enough to tax my brains to guess whoz who.

Nice game though...

WHOZ WHO ???????????

[hehehewalrus]

Sp, I can tell the origin but it will cost you $20 :D

Reminded of Satellite Samiyaar, the numerologist advises Crazy Mohan to change his name from Sivaraman to Savaraman. The phone conversation is very funny:

- "Note it down: S-S-I-V-A-A......Oh, Siva-la moonu A add panniteengala? Seri, Raman-la vara A-la adjust panniduvom! SSIVAAARAAMTWXZAN"

-"Yennaya Sivaraman-la XYZ ellaam sollara?"
-"Yo, adhellam silent ya, unna yaaru adhellaam pronounce panna sonna?" :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

alright hehehewalrus if you won't let us know than that is just your given right but that doesn't stop us from making assumptions abut it :poke:

when i first encountered your name i either thought you were alluding to the walrus in Alice in Wonderland and the famous lines:

"“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings.”

or that you like to laugh heartily..either one... :roll: :D

Namma-Ooru-Velan sorry :oops: i don't understand the most important word...what's velan mean? :huh: i want to know what's so funny too please :D
You confound me Querida!
What is there to understand in the name "Velan"?
Funny?

[Mad Max]

Hi all,

BB, MM, Geno - I couldnt help the feeling that all three are the same person :? Confused to the core!


We aren't. You are probably confused due to the FBI Maran posts in the old hub. Ask Roshan and others and they will testify that we are different individuals.

BB is currently in Jaffna doing some Tsunami relief work and that is why he is not posting at the moment.

Sorry for what?

[jaiganes]

In the deluge of posts by our friends, I could not trace mine and asked NOV abt it. Later I went back 3 pages to find my last posting (which I thought would be there in the last page or one before . how silly of me). So I apologised for the outburst. Nothing controversial!!!
/*** DIGRESSION ****/
btw! I watched mad max only recently! I liked the character, but the movie made me uneasy particularly the concept of anarchy and lawlessness leaving innocents at the mercy of marauding bikers!! That should rank among the top ten most disturbing movies of hollywood along with escape from NY.
/**** End digression ***********/

[Mad Max]

Mad Max is staged to happen during the post-apocalyptic time.

Toecutter, Bubba Zanetti, Goose! Interesting characters aren't they?

Watch MM2:The Road Warrior if you get the chance. Great action movie. More exciting than MM1.


PS: It isn't a Hollywood movie. It was an Australian production featuring an unknown aussie actor named Mel Gibson.

[jaiganes]

sure I will give it a watch. Thanks for the suggestion MM. Maybe we can open a separate thread on movies depicting apocalypse and anarchic times in future like "soldier", "cyborg", "T1 and T2" . what u say?

BTW, Spanish is a rough sounding lang. Some of the spanish syllables in the hispanic channels sound harsh like the grating of a file - French is always the softest and sweetest :D

Hi to scorpio!

Nice thread :)


I'd like to crack the Mellon code - could it be a translation for Kalyani Pushini????? Which could mean, her name is Kalyani?????

Geno - Short for genocide perhaps????!!! Very, very intriguing!! Mmm..........

Hmmm... why would you be this adversarial Nirosha? :o

mellon - I don't know why she chose this name, but I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with pumpkins or other produce :evil:

geno - Roshan and other friends know what geno means; it is a lovable futuristic puppy in one of Sujatha's (Thamizh writer) sci-fi novels.

As for the BB, MM and geno being the same person - ludicrous idea! They each have distinctly different styles of writing and I don't see how they could ever be confused for each other :roll:
Seems like scorpio isn't that new to the hub :wink:

Roshan:

It's interesting to know that this is part of your real name, I thought you picked it up as a nick :)

Shekhar:

Funny?

when you wrote namma ooru velan :lol:<<<you put this emoticon beside it so i thought there was some joke to the word velan...the confusion lies in the fact that i do not know what the word velan even means...

[Cygnus]

Querida!

vElan - indicates one who wields the vEl which is a kind of spear. Most commonly used to refer to the thamizh god Murugan.

Namma Ooru Velan (Velan of our town)- probably the initials NOV stand for something else and he made this up to sound funny! :)

OOOOOOH (lights going off)

thanx so much Cygnus!!! :D ...hey Cygnus has your sweet swan gone south for the winter?

aww Q! What wit and humor!! For now, it's warm and cozy down in the South!

It was intended to be a placeholder anyway (but I'm glad you liked it so much to call it sweet) and I was too lazy to choose a new pic. May be I'll get a better looking stargazer lily soon. :)

[happyindian]

Nice topic, Nice going thru it all.......

Mine's easy 2 guess...I like happy optimistic people, happy feelings, etc.

With all the hate & prejudice diff ppl of diff communites hv out there, I just decided 2 use my closest identity - Indian.

And so I am a Happy Indian.

Personally I dislike my own name quite a bit - its long winded, casteist, a little rare & can b cumbersome 2 use.

And could never manage 2 find a pseudonym sounding like a real name, like Cindy (as much as i (& many ppl) can try, guess can never associate Cindy Crawford as a mum, so was surprised u hv a kid(s)) and Nirosha (I really thot u were an ashol (real) Bangali, nyan aebhyarasi poyee (hope i got that right)).

Frm the old hub, always knew BB, Geno and Mad Max were 3 very different ppl, but with their wee bit of over-lapping ideologies, they cud b confusing 2 those who didn't interact with them much :lol:

Neither did I ever imagine BB, like he wrote in some other thread, is someone in his 40s :shock: He always sounded and continues to sound so young :lol:

Querida chose a nice name. Perhaps her mates nick-named her 4 who she really is :) . She inspired my avatar.

I liked the name Fridge in the old hub. Wonder why no one took it up in this new hub.

[Shakthiprabha.]

hi happy indian, good user name u have!
thx for sharing.

your post made me ermemebr FRIDGE.

How the drama unfolds!! Does the Cy in your name stand for "cynic?" ;)

Velan is my household name, which is derived from my actual name. When I started posting in TFM Pages 10 years ago, I used the complete form, namma ooru velan, and since it was such a chore, shortened it NOV. There is absolutely no other explanation to this.

By the way, is your full name Velayutham?????!!!! I know, I know!! I sound like the queen in Rumpelstiltskin, Pa!! :lol: But nevertheless an intrigue is just that!!

[Mad Max]

geno - Roshan and other friends know what geno means; it is a lovable futuristic puppy in one of Sujatha's (Thamizh writer) sci-fi novels.

I did not know that, even though I am a good friend of Geno.

I read that story a long long time ago when it first appeared as a thodarkathai in AV and really enjoyed it. Geno was a lovable AI robot pup in the story. What was the name of that story? Is it available anywhere?

[Cygnus]

God!
How the drama unfolds!! Does the Cy in your name stand for "cynic?"

NOV, no points for guessing I'm a bit of a cynic :wink: Poor Q has been asking why your statement was funny and I volunteered a 'probable' explanation, that's all!!

If it is your real name why then did you put the 'laugh' emoticon next to it and not the 'smile' or 'happy' icon? That's what confused us!

Hi M&M!

I am assuming that's origin of geno's username. I can only corroborate that anecdotally. Well, once in the old hub someone asked if geno is short for 'genius' and someone asked the questioner " haven't you read Sujatha's novels" but geno himself did not clarify that.

Anywho, the names of the novels were 'en iniya iyanthira' (DD made a televised version that was terrible) and 'meendum geno' :)

BTW, I see you're back to your 'old motto', I personally liked the 'new motto', but if it suits you....I'm no one to judge :)

Translation: The Swan or the Northern Cross
This URL
http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constellations/constellations/Cygnus.html

says that cygnus is a constellation.

There is also a e-transaction system by that name.

This URL says cygnus is a publisher of mind body spirit related books
http://www.cygnus-books.co.uk/

So the chances are:

1. Cygnus is an ornithologist(bird watcher).
2. Cygnus is an astronomy student.
3. Cygnus is a e-transactions expert using the system by that name often
4 Cygnus is an avid writer or reader of mind-body books by that name.
5. None of the above.

My guess is option 1.

Sure Cygnus.. I completely agree with you. My observations were only statements sans judgment. I know it is foolish to be brave when the threat is real.
You have a right to decide your cyber identity depending upon your situation and perception. I have absolutely no qualms about it. I am just lucky that I am in a situation where I can use my real name. I am not a fool either. I have exposed my mind, but have hidden a large part of my life. I have also successfully refrained from bringing out my pains and tears on to the hub.

awww..you went to all that trouble :) ...sorry the answer is (5) None of the above.

But you got the constellation thing right. I was torn between Cassiopeia and Cygnus and for obvious reasons (can't imagine how you guys would've ragged me if I were a new hubber with such a weird name) chose Cygnus :)

Shekhar:

I appreciate your openness. It's hubbers like you and my good friends from 'ulagam' and kavithaigal section, that make it worth the while for me in the Hub :D

[NOV]

Vaali has been around since the 60s. After Kannadhasan, he is the most talked about lyricist of that era. In fact he has to be the most prolific of lyricists and is still writing lyrics for several films, including the yet to be released Best Friend.

I think his first debut into movies (acting) was in the 80s in the movie Poi Kaal Kudhirai. You will find a thread on Vaali, in Memories of Yesteryears section, with plenty of contributions from rajesh.

[hehehewalrus]

Nov,
What is the character played by Vaali in Poikaal Kudhirai, can you refresh my memory?

[Guyana]

For those yet confused and find irrationality. I changed my user name from Urme to Guyana after I was referred to as the off-spring of a slave - subsequent to the movie Guana 1838 where Urmila an innocent girl from Bombay, acted as a slave. But I still wanted to keep some identify as to where I was born. May be it was not a very smart thing and had I given it some more thought as to why I was changing it, I may have picked another name, but then I was only focusing on the move and wanted some connection with my prevous positing in case of any future confusion.

[Roshan]

Hi every body !!! :D Good to see more interesting stories about user names.


geno - Roshan and other friends know what geno means; it is a lovable futuristic puppy in one of Sujatha's (Thamizh writer) sci-fi novels.

Yes!! You are correct. And as long as I know Sujatha is one of geno's favourite writers. He had said it long time back in Ulagam thread and we have had discussions on Sujatha' s work many a times in Ulagam thread and KavithaigaL section.


As for the BB, MM and geno being the same person - ludicrous idea!

I too felt the same. :x

Hi Hubbers,

Now that most of you have shared the story behind yr username, why don't we now share the reason behind our avtaar?? Our avtaar too contributes towards understanding about our fellow hubbers, isn't it?

My story is straight forward. Being a Harry Potter fan, I chose him as my avtaar. Have formed a policy to change the avtaar once in every 100 posts, to break off from monotony!!

NOV - Is there a way to edit the title of this thread to include 'avtaars' too????

[jaiganes]

I came across th epicture of a prarie dog in National Geographic. I kinda found it cute and had that as my avatar.When I read this article (http://www.desertusa.com/dec96/du_pdogs.html), became a fan of Prarie dogs. I also think that they reflected my busy burrowing attitude. Also they suffer from too many predators like I do (from blonking marauding female posters). :cry: :cry:

[Roshan]

The reason behind my Avatar ..

The hubbers who have been in the old hub know how bad the situation had been there at one time. Obscene languages, personal attacks, fanaticism, faking IDs and what more !! All these nasty stuff really made me feel sick . Only after visiting forumhub I understood there exist animals in the form of humans. Then came this new hub with more controls and close monitoring. All I wanted was to see some sort of peace prevailing in this new hub. I just wanted to symbolize that. Hence selected the dove initially. Actually I had the idea of going for another avatar later, but since everybody liked the "heavenly" dove I just thought of settling with it.

I had two choices finally. One was Picaso's 'peace dove' and the one I'm using now. Picaso's was very conventional and hardly anyone would know that it was his. Besides I was keen in selecting one that should match the back ground colour and the font color used by the hub coz, thats more important to make the avatar more attractive (Querida's and Cindy's are good examples).

This is the story behind my avatar and it has nothing to do with my personal character. Though I prefer peace, I would always agree that it's necessary to fight it out, when ever and where ever it matters.

I would hardly agree that Avatar reflects one's perosnality. Pshycologically it is the reflection of one's expectation - the way you expect others to form an opinion about you. It's not a reflection of your own character or personality most of the time. In my opinion, more than the avatar - the ideas and opinions expressed here reflect one's character and personality to a large extent.

And when some one selects a celebrity as the avatar, it's obvious that he or she is an admirer/fan of that personaity. For example we all know that Joe is a die hard fan of Sivaji Ganeshan and geno an ardent fan of Kamal Hassan. And now scorpio - a fan of Harry Potter.

[nirosha sen]

Good one Scorpio!! I think it's abt time, more of us opened up our true feelings, now that we are all comfortable with each other.

Aishwarya Rai - Why her??? Well, when I first started at the Hub, there was this thread in the Eng. Lit. section. It was started by a very disturbed individual whom I shall call as Zero!! Camille would attest to my allegations, Pa!!

For some reason, this person took such delight in tarnishing and maligning Ash that from initial amusement, my dismay turned into outrage!! So after a few, verbal fisticuffs over her vitriolic attacks, I decided to stop replying to this deranged individual!!

Out of pique, and my admiration for this beautiful and talented Indian beauty, and South Indian one at that, I decided on her as my avataar, Pa!!

Ash, Ash!!!! May she soar on angel's wings to greater heights, Pa!!

Eppadi, namba story?????!!!! :D

[scorpio]

niro akka,

kalakiteenga, vazhakkam pola!

I think the main reason behind many male hubbers frequenting the hub is your avtaar!

Why I don't have an avatar?
I myself am not very sure. :roll: I sure would be uncomfortable with any, as I feel frozen, and I want my thoughts to flow...

[Cindy]

I tried many pictures, but all weren't matching the pixel size... and was nudging NOV and RR to adjust the allowed pixel levels.. (dunno if they remember..) actually was searching for Cindy Crawford's pictures... this glittering Cindy was one of the pick i got from google.. so thought of keeping it until i get one good picture with less pixels.. and NOV said why not this, as this one looked better... Velan sonna sariya irukkumnnu atheye avataraga save pannitten. appram Sekhar sonna mathiri frozen-a illama eppovume jagajagannu surusuruppa irukkira mathiri oru avatarnnu thonichu.

Thats all folks!

Shekhar - How abt a runaway chariot, Pa!! With Karunan or is it Aditya as your Charioteer, you are everywhere like Suryan!! :lol:

[nirosha sen]

NM - What kaddanthe kaalam is that Pa???? Tell Aunty Niro!! Is it sad or happy???? :o

[NM]

NM - What kaddanthe kaalam is that Pa???? Tell Aunty Niro!! Is it sad or happy???? :oDear Dr N,
Well it actually reminds be of the M&B days..ha ha..ha...the first time I read abt unicorn was in one of those books...good old days..bet you remember reading them too.....since then, unicorn and horses have been my fav .. :wink: :wink:

[Shekhar]

Shekhar - you are everywhere like Suryan!! :lol:

Oh yea.. I am just meandering around the threads just for fun. :)
But I seriously miss the serious, thought provoking disucssions we used to have in the old hub a couple of years ago. In fact there was so much of serious discussions, and fun was almost absent. It was then I started putting in jocular comments just to thaw the icy atmosphere!
But now it is the otherway round. Lots of fun and fun loving hubbers around.. great to visit the hub. But intellectually not satisfying.. :roll:

[Roshan]

But now it is the otherway round. Lots of fun and fun loving hubbers around.. great to visit the hub. But intellectually not satisfying..

Exactly Shekhar!! There's nothing much to talk or learn. I really miss the old hub and some excellent contributors. Everything is gone now. As you said once, the new hub is like a girl clad with attractive clothes and make up but with no intelligence. :cry: :cry:

[Akash]

Regarding my avatar, its 'Sonic' games character!! Sonic was my first favourite game, i used to play it a lot, when i was kid.

When i was in college,i came across this GIF accidentally!! you know, i could'nt stop laughing after seeing this crazy, running guy!!..... Don't you feel, how serious that guy's face is!! and he is keep running as if he is the only person who is focused a lot, a BIG DEAL only.... i felt very funny when ever i see that. Then when i joined in, there was a provision to add avatar, so i just added HIM there!!

[blahblah]

Hi guys,Here is my favourite passtime.

Take a post of Akash.Observe his running avtar.Click the stop button.Now see what position he is in.Make him run again.Stop and see the next pose.Repeat the same.Don't get addicted t it. :wink:

[Roshan]

You mean the new hub is like a "GIRL"

Once Shekhar tried to make a comparison between the new hub and the old hub with two types of women. One who wears attractive clothes and make up but has no intelligence and the other who looks simple but intelligent. The new hub is more or less like the former. That's what I meant. 8)

I fail to however understand, as to why INTELLIGENCE AND NON-INTELLIGENCE has always to be compared with women?

Why is it its taken for clear assumption that BEAUTIFUL woman or AN ATTRACTIVE WOMAN, in many case is DUMB?

It is not true always. Well for a change we can also assume nice well dressed good looking man, who cannot conduct any intelligent conv.

No, its the not the question of male chauvanism or otherwise. Its just the AGE OLD boring theory, OF COMPARING beautiful women(cause women are bound to be bountiful, or is atleast expected to be) to
be a moron(in many likely cases)!!!

[Roshan]

I fail to however understand, as to why INTELLIGENCE AND NON-INTELLIGENCE has always to be compared with women?

Because there exist only one type of men - and they are usually dumb!! :lol:

[Badri]

Alright...so here I am..Scorpio...are you listening?

My name is Badri...so no big deal about my user name. I was inclined towards scorpio, that being my proud sunsign, but the name was already taken...so I decided to be more honest and come right out with my own dear darling name!

But my Avatar...any Asterix fans out there? You'd probably understand why I chose that as the avatar. I am an out and out fan of Asterix Comics.

I mean, what sheer wit, what puns, what wonderful play of language!!!

You can read each comic like a 100 times (I probably have) and laugh all the more each time cos you understand newer and newer jokes - the names, the phrases...

I used to really like Shaw and Saki for satire and parody and wit, but Asterix takes the cake for sheer intelligent humour of the highest order.

[scorpio]

Thx Badri, here I am, very much listening...

KR,

Just click the profile button which is there right on the top of this page. It would direct you to your own profile. There at the bottom you get the option of adding your avatar. Make sure the hight and witdh of your avatar doesnt exceed 100 pixels and the size should not be more than 6kb.

Looking forward to seeing your avatar. Good Luck !! :)

[scorpio]

Hi Kavitha,

Welcome! :)

Go to yr profile, there is an option to upload avtaar along with a choice fo selecting pre-made avtaars. You can also choose one from yr harddisk if u wish. After that, don't forget to share the reason behind choosing yr avtaar in this thread! :D

Ooooooooooooooops Roshan, you're faster than I think!

[Badri]

Kan drishti Harry???

[scorpio]

Thambi Badri,

I have been changing my avtaar and signature line once every 100 posts. Just happened to cross 300 posts, and hence changed taking a leaf out of Querida's avtaar.

Whether u and JG like it or not, it will remain till I cross 400!

Naan enna Niro-vaa, avtaar-kku ellam election nadatharathukku??

[nirosha sen]

Well all said and done, the next one, could I have one of Harry on his Nimbus 2000, please.......

Vin Gardium Levi-ossaa!! :D

[scorpio]

Niro,

Actually had one like that when I crossed 200. BlahBlah bunny cried that he wanted to see only innocent close-ups.. so I changed to 'Omakuchi' Harry as described by JG.

Hmm, let me cross another 100, then your wish will be granted!

[jaiganes]

Cool scorpio akka!
This new "DOrik-kannu" harry also is hilarious!! :lol: :lol:
Next go for "Dirty Harry" (our famous clint eastwood), showing complete lifecycle of the potter family. :roll: :lol:

And he doesn't wear a vest, because he didn't expect Kann Dristhi a.k.a Dory Kannu Harrys to peer at him like that!

As Akash said, you're tempting our male hubbers to log into the hub just to see yr latest avtaar and log out!

Hi BlahBlah,

Nice avataar change.. BTW, from whom are you running??

So, have u decided yr avtaars will always be bugs bunny??

[Roshan]

blahblah,

Nice avatar this time ! :)

[blahblah]

Scorpio,I am inspired by Aakasu :wink: .By the way,have you decided that your avtars should always be Harry?

Roshan,I changed the earlier avtar because of you.

[scorpio]

I first decided my avtaars will always be Harry. Now, thinking why not have Hermione, Ron, Dumbledore, Snape et al once a while but stick to the theme of Harry Potter.

JG even suggested sarcastically to have lifecycle of Harry.. not a bad idea.. hunting for icons of Baby Harry now :wink:, but this restriction of 100*100 and 6 kb is a real pain.. had to let go many good pictures of Harry only because of that :cry:

You can use the 'Paint' program to edit a picture you would like to use as your avatar, Scorpio. It's what I did for mine.

[scorpio]

will try out.. Thanks!

[nirosha sen]

Mmmm.... guys??? What is a paint programme???? How do I go abt using it???? I'm not as pc savvy as some of you, Pa! Could somebody help me out, please???? :D

I could almost hear someone sniggering that I already have too many Ash avataars!!! :lol:

[Yudhajit]

I would like tell about my user name and avatar.
why I chose "Yudhajit" is, First i love this name, mmm atleat the meaning"Always victorious person over wars". second thing is, i have some belief in astrology, so astrologically my name should start with "Yu".

My Avatar is Napoleon the great. Just admired by the (political) life napoleon the empreor, lead. If i were a female, i would have chosen the avatar of Joséphine, the empress.

that's all about my user name and avatar. I love to make friends,
hope you all too.

Its a program that comes with Windows. I don't know about others. Its simply named Paint. I suppose your computer does not have it, Nirosha?????

For those who do have it, choose the pic you want to tamper and right-click on it. Select 'edit' from the list and it will open with Paint. Then go to 'Image' that is up there somewhere along with File, Edit, View e.t.c. Stretch/Skew is where you need to go from Image. If anyone needs help after that, your questions are welcome at deep_secrets2005@yahoo.com
