Nicknames/Petnames

Every person born in this world has some or the other nick name. It gives liberty to their so called near and dear ones to address the person in a convenient and amiable way.

NO i am not writing class V English essay on nicknames here.I realized that for every nickname there is some particular reason , after all Nothing can be created without a reason.
And ppl get nicknames by their friends or enemies or by jealous persons in this world.
and in college one will get coined by such a bad name that u can’t speak that in front of other ppl, i myself have given sum cruel bad names , Ya i can be cruel :P

So i wanted to trace back my nicknames and their reasoning’s. Thankfully i didn’t had one bad nickname which i have to hide... here are most of them.

1) Tinku- As i know this was and is my first nick name, don’t know the exact reason why it was coined but i remember one day i was around 7-8 year old , was watching tv , one movie started and its name was TInku , and i ran to my mother saying mummy look i m in tv ...that’s that and till now my folks call me by this name...

2)LINKS/Lincs/Lincu ( for those who don’t know , my real name is LINCOLN) - This is the second most common name of me , in my school days i was called lincs quite frequently, which used to be followed by LINKS taale ( a Lock brand) , kabhi nahin tootne wale...

3)Kankad ( Means pebble) - I don’t know why one of my friend coined me by this name, but 3-4 school friends used to call me by this name , perhaps they wanted to throw stones at me whenever they used to c me :p

4) RAJAji - when i came to college my seniors coined me RAJA ( as a leader ) of group of my statemates, In my ragging days i had to behave as a RAJA and manage my praja ( followers)..
Got lot of sticking as i used to carried way by the role and used to behave really like RAJA , some slaps from seniors used to bring me back to my actual level

5) Chuha (mouse/rat)- This is another stupid name that i got which my friends tell me tat i got this bcoz i behave like a chuha, i don’t know how but they say i do kuter kuter like a mouse.
And till today i am called by this by close group of friends...( perhaps bcoz i eat wat i will like rest i will leave , for e.g. i will either like cake's top part or bottom part not both of parts ) , similarly i never eat cream biscuits, i will give cream part to my friends and eat non cream part, or if i am eating a samosa - i will leave most part of masala ,

6) TOPi- i recently got this name from one of my roommate, i don’t know the reason but he calls me that.

so that’s the list , i am sure i will have many more nicknames in life, So wat’s ur fav nickname of urs ?????
