12 fishes and a cuckoo clock!

The little things are the most difficult! I found it utmost difficult to name my blog. I like the name I've finally given! And there is a story behind it.


You see, when I got the fancy of wanting to make a blog, I asked the first person next to me for help with the blog title- my brother. I usually don't ask for help, or opinion from him, for that matter. But this time, I just did, asked him , I mean. And he started looking around the room, and came up with these names like " The bulb and the tube light (with an after thought he said , "Just tube light will do for you , sigh , poor me), the window and the curtain, the wall and the carpet", it was weird,and he was humoring me pretty good. I did'nt like any of the names he suggested, they were stupid, ....but anyhow I came up with this decision that I'll name my blog after one of his suggestions. So, we continued the naming process. When we went out later, he came up with phrases like " The road and the tar". Sheeesh! By the end of the day, I enquired to him again, he was in the living room then, he looked around and came up with " 12 Fishes and a Cuckoo Clock".


The fact is, I liked the name, then and there. And there is a story to the title. The phrase is a synonym to unity- a unifying of east and west. yeah, that sounds weird I know. I'll explain. In our living room, there is a frame of 12 fishes, which my brother brought from HongKong. There is also this awesome Cuckoo clock that he brought from Black forest, Germany. So, the 'and' in the title does the unifying thingy of east and west!!


So, anyway, cheers! to the 12 Fishes and a Cuckoo Clock. Hope I can end up entering here quite a bit. I love preserving memories!! :)
