Whats there in the name ?

A. अ। Couldn't think of a better way to start my blog. My first. With the first letter of the English Alphabet and the Hindi. Two of my fav. languages, being the only ones I know well enough to think in. Language, the mother of everything that there is, everything that there was and everything that there is going to be.
Someone once said, "What's there in the name ?". I say "Everything". If something did not have a name. It would just disappear. How ? I will show you !
Before that, lets understand what a name is? "Answers.com " says : A name is 'A word or words by which an entity is designated and distinguished from others'. Fair enough.

So consider something which did not have a name. (say). A Can of Redbull. now look at the definition. Suddenly the entity "A Can of Redbull" became a name, coz we used it to distinguish it from others. So it has a name. In a similar manner, if you pick anything at all that exists and if you can distinguish it from everything else, you give it a name. Backwards vice versa on it, Anything that does not have a name, would not exist. So whats there in the name .. eh ???
