There were two things in the world that Ghagra Geeta Bali hated. The first was the way，Rani，the domestic help．combed her hair．The second was，you guessed it，her name. She hated her name so much that she prayed to god every night：Dear god，let me be born again. So I can have a name like Rita or Preeti．A short，smart one-word name.
On Tuesday，Ghagra Geeta Bali and her mother went for their usual shopping. There was a long queue of children just outside the record store．They went loser to look. It was yet another scheme to sell a few audio cassettes．Everyone who bought a cassette qualified for the scheme.
In this case，the artist whose songs were featured on the cassette was a young sensation called Malik Fafidabadi，a great favorite with teenagers. Ghagra Geeta Bali was no exception.
A friendly young man was writing down the names of the people who wanted to participate in the scheme．Out of this long list Malik would pick one name，and the chosen one would get to meet him．plus of course，win many freebies（赠品）.
But when her mother asked her to participate，Ghagra Geeta Bali said no. She didn't want to speak out her name in front of so many people and make herself the butt（笑料）of amusement. But mothers being mothers，she just went up to the man and told him in firm tones：“Please enter my daughter's name. It is Ghagra Geeta Bali.”
“It is what?” the man asked，naturally a little taken aback.
“G-h-a-g-r-a G-e-e-t-a B-a-l-i. There she is，”she replied while pointing to her daughter. The crowd standing around also turned to stare. All Ghagra Geeta Bali wanted then was for the earth to open up and swallow her.
That did not happen．But the following week she received a call．It was from the recording company that had announced the scheme. And they told her that she was the chosen one
“It is all because of your name，” said the public relations  man  who had called.“Mr Faridabadi took one look at it in the list and said that he couldn't wait to meet the brave girl bearing it．”
