So the other day, while reading a random blog, I discovered that the name 'Rahul' means 'obstacle'. Lord Buddha apparently referred to his son as a Rahul when his wife tried to use the excuse of his son to keep him from wandering off into the jungle to attain nirvana.
Of course, I could not contain my joy and without batting an eyelid informed the boy how he is so aptly named. Of course, the boy refusing to be slighted, immediately googled (damn you google!) and rattled off other meanings which were more to his liking like - conquerer of all miseries, moon, able, efficient, traveler. Blah.
Upon seeing how this was not stopping my cackling about him being THE OBSTACLE, he went for the sudden-death move.
He googled 'Priyanka' and oh, what might he find and then decide to be the meaning of the name ? 'The great one's wife' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After this there really was no point to anything anymore. He wouldn't stop laughing.
So I just did what the more mature person in any relationship always does. I went and buried my face in the pillow and pretended to sleep. Blah.
