My name is NIRALI!!!

Lots of things really really piss me off. Something which pisses me off more than people saying "hair ARE" (really!!! y???!?!?!), tomatoes on pizzas (that's not really pissing but annoying), wet socks and socks with floaters to name a few is someone mispronouncing my name.

Tell me just how difficult is it?? Its such a short simple name. 3 short syllables. Ni ra li!! Short!!! I mean really try saying them aloud one at a time.

Ni

Ra

li

Is it that difficult??? Its not "Narali". NOT "Neerali". What did I say about short syllables? Not Nirani! (REALLY)

*Shakes her head in frustration.* Really is it such an effort for even snail-like brains to say 3 short syllables(I can't stress it enough) together without short-circuiting their miniscule brains??

I have met people on and off especially after coming to Singapore who have almost driven me mad by mispronouncing my name. But how are you supposed to correct your teachers with speaking disabilities without sounding like a prick? Its not like my name is not written in English but some mysterious characters. Can't they just read it???

Worst is when some people end my name with a weird gurgling sound. I mean ANNOYING!!! That one I can't even imitate or write since its a sound!!! All that after I take care to say your name properly! Ingratitude. Why???

I understand if you have speech problems and its impossible for you to say my name for some unknown reason. But you can hear properly rt?? Please refrain from saying my name if you hear it wrongly unless I am going to die if you don't call out for me! I might end up cursing you endlessly if you don't and though I'm not sure how that is going to affect you but you might not want to take risks!

PS: I am now okay Nirari if I know that you can actually say Nirali correctly but prefer Nirari once again due to unknown reasons.

Insane?? Yes.
