After years of near silence, I now refuse to let people butcher my name just because it's 'too hard' for them to say.

- My grandfather gave me a unique name that now carries much meaning for me.
- My name has been mispronounced and shortened since childhood and I didn't always correct people.
- Now, when introducing myself, I make sure people have my name right.
My grandfather named me Nishtha, a Sanskrit word that means loyalty and commitment.
