Baby Farida is kinda back!
Scene 1
Me: Please let A know that Fariha has come to see her
Security Guard(while talking to A over intercom): Madam, Farida is here
A: Farida..who??
Guard: Madam, Farida!
Me: Err…Fariha ..FariHA..FariHA Akhtar!
Guard: Jee..she’s saying Farida Akhtar
Guard(hangs up and tells me): My wife’s name is also Farida 
Me: DUH!!! 
Scene 2
Me (checking out shawls in the market) when a shopkeeper notices me and says "Jee baby kiya chahye aapko"
Me…..arrgggggggg…..
So, amidst all the frustrations, illness, vacations, enjoyment etc. etc…this is what I was going through.that’s nothing significant at all 
..just decided to give myself and my bloggy some rest but I guess I’m back now!
Welcome back Furry

Hahaha… Same happens with me. Imagine how I feel when people call me Maimuna and Humera instead of Umema.

FariDa sounds such old and archaic name!!!! But yeah, its commonly taken for Fariha….shouldn’t parents consult the kids when naming them ?

@Em

@Asma
Khair Mabrook Asthma..suits u
@Dinky Mind
Ha ha…yes I remember reading about it on your blog ..it’s funny too when ppl give ur name a weird twist!
@Lubz
Thanks…baby’s friend!
@Anas Imtiaz
Welcome to my blog..don’t remember if you have here before
So, true..Farida seems to be an archaic name…since the guard was an old man so I believe his wife Farida jee must be old too .and that’s why I’m happy with Fariha 
@Kamran
Thanks Kamran
@Aamir
Thanks Ada ..I guess my hibernation mode is over
@Asma
Baby’s back yet again ….keep pinging!
@Sakina

Thanks

Well, Farida isn’t too bad a name either, I guess.
I wouldn’t blame the shop-keeper in the second instance. You do look like you are fresh out of school (and that’s meant to be a compliment!).
