Who is Patri ???

Someone asked me why I am called Patri and what my actual name was.

I have been called Praveen by my parents, relatives friends till I completed engineering. I do remember some funny funky names for me for identification in my school days but the reasoning for such a names when searched resulted a Zero.
Language sometimes is so peculiar for the Asian and Rest of the world names. To respect a guy (either due to his age or due to his wealth) in Kannada and his name happens to be praveen, kannada uses a suffix praveen avare, hindi probably uses Praveenji, telugu uses praveen gaaru japanese uses praveen san Mother of all languages Sanskrit adds a Prefix Hey Praveenaha......

Hoevever English, I suppose French and German too do not have this concept at all. Mister, Monsieur , Mistress, Mademoiselle will be sufficient as a prefix to ones' name.

I respect the girls/ladies more than our fellow gentlemen and I use a typical kannada suffix ree. (sometimes used as prefix too) I called my batchmate girls as ******ree and they deteriorated my name during my first week of work in KarMic. My name in all schooling records was Praveen K A and for some reason I wanted my surname also to be included with my call name. With lot of efforts we rushed to a notary paying him the fees and declaring in the gazette and my name was to Praveen Patavardhan. My dad was called Patavardhan by his collegues, friends and it seemed something fascinating for me when my cousins told that they were also called Patavardhan in their schools. Hmmm I was jealous.

The Girls - Kaveri, Nandini, Shilpa, Vedavathi from the KTC 15 batch reacted to my biggggggg name and said there needs some splicer somewhere and the splicer was after Pata of the second name Patavardhan and as I used to call 'em as *****ree and for some reason they wanted to return back the respect to me I became Pataree and after evolution Patri. people ask me even today if the reason for naming me Patri was analogous to Train Patri which is never ending and so is my speech/words.
I still remember few guys in the new batch had thought my real name was patri and they called me Patri sir for few days till they realised my name was Praveen.

Other derivative names when at KarMic- Pataresha, Pata Pata. Patti, Pattu, Patti Kutti (For ones who do not follow Malayalam, Patti means Dog and Patti kutti means a young dog)

I wanted to be more creative. I borrowed characters from my names Pr from Praveen A from Achuta Patavardhan (my dad) Ko from Kolavalli (my place name near to Tirthahalli) Pa from Patavardhan and renamed/pen nammed myself as PrAKoPa. :-)
