Once there was a girl who really hated her name. Her name was Ghagra Geeta Bali. She hoped she could
be born again to have a nice name like Rita.
One Tuesday, Ghagra Geeta Bali and her mother went shop-ping. There were many children outside a
music store. The store had an activity to sell tapes. Everyone who bought a tape had a chance to see the singer
of the songs. This singer was a great favorite with teenagers. Ghagra Geeta Bali liked him, too.
To take part in the activity, everyone had to give his or her name. Then a girl would write down the names
and pick one to meet the singer.
But when her mother asked if she wanted to take part, Ghagra Geeta Bali said no. She did not want to say
her name in front of so many people. But her mother went up and said, "Please write down my daughter's
name. It is Ghagra Geeta Bali. There she is..." and she pointed to her daughter. Then everyone turned to look
at Ghagra Geeta Bali. At that moment, she wanted to disappear into a hole.
However, she received a call from the music store the following week. They told her that she was very
lucky. "It is all because of your name," the store owner said. "The singer thought you were such a brave girl
and he couldn't wait to meet you. So, get ready for the time of your life, Ghagra Geeta Bali!"
