I named myself Piscine Molitor after reading this Novel.

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2015)

Being a Novel geek, I read at least one novel a month. So, one day I came across this fantastic novel — "Life of Pi" on which a movie was being made. What's fascinating in this novel was the protagonist's name — Piscine Molitor Patel (nick name: Pi Patel). His schoolmates called him "Pissing Patel" instead. I was not him, but the life story of this "Piscine Molitor" made me fall in love with this out of the ordinary name. I changed my Facebook name the next day, created a new Gmail ID and also began using my new nickname, "Pi". I even made a website dedicated to this name.
But my close friends understood not why I did all this.
"Piscine Molitor, what does it mean? Pissing Monitor?" They all teased.
And then to tease me some more, they then begin calling me "Pissing Monitor" from that day on. Same as what happened in the Novel. LOL
