Sadhna, Chaya, Gopal are no more.  The children's names are now Apsari, Amaira, Ryan and Manijinjir...!  What goes on in the Sapnamay Chakravartinam fuss about the history-geography of the naming.  Shakespeare said "What's in a name" But what is it really!  If I say again, "I am the name you also the name.
