Mohan’s musing : A rose by no other name than as a CM ……..Hahahaha… so hilarious

I have heard from my grandmother: Husband and Wife should not call each other by their names. On my seeking she did explain the root reason for this custom and I was reasonably convinced that it merited a pious weightage.

The inclusive definition “ Ardhanariswara ”. An androgynous composite form of – Shiva and Parvati- together forming an unison and holistic entity. Where , Wife  was considered as “ Ardhangini” - the other half which over period of time transformed to become  ‘ Better half ’ .

Through centuries it became a custom - Husband and Wife mostly do not call  each other by the first name, which  by such reference would tantamount to splitting a whole into parts.

Be that as it may ….and while this is also fading out…………..

However what I found quite side-splitting was the recent decision of the Speaker of TN  assembly, directing  members “ Not to call the CM by her name” and when asked for reasons all that he would say is “ That’s my order “

Well, my grandmother was far better.
