Final Wishes Form

I don’t like my name. Well not as much as my ex-name.My name is Divyansh Mundra (currently). The first name Divyansh was picked up by me when I was about 15 years old and legally changed.Divyansh is not the name by which my family knows me, nor do the people who’ve known me since the time that I was born call me ‘Divyansh’ because Divyansh was not my birth name.My grandfather gave me the coolest of names, and I wish that I could have kept it with me.Sadly, English happened.You’ll know why.When this guy was born, he looked like this-(My mom drew a sketch of me after a few days when I was born. My dad was away and there were no cell phones available then to just click and WhatsApp the pic of your baby)And my grandfather gave me the name दिव्य (Divya), which means divine or angelic or heavenly.It’s quite awesome if you ask me.(Translations have been included in the picture)But there was a catch-दिव्य (Divya) cannot be written in English without meaning something else. दिव्या (Divya) on the other hand can be.दिव्या (pronounced like Divyaaa) and दिव्य (pronounced somewhat like Divyha) are both spelled the same in English as Divya. But दिव्या is the name of a girl, while दिव्य is the name of a boy.So courtesy of English medium schools across the country, I had to write my beautiful name दिव्य as Divya, which is popularly the name of a girl.So while marking attendance, the teacher would look up in surprise after hearing a male voice.Also, when you’re writing your name as that of a girl, you’re handing out a loaded weapon to your friends. They don’t even have to try to come up with names to tease you.Naturally, by the time I was in eighth standard, I was a shy little kid who’ll have stage fear— not because he was afraid to speak in front of a crowd, but because of the humiliation he’d have to face when the announcer would spell the name of a girl instead.After facing a lot of ridicule and shattered ego on many instances, I forced my parents to get my name changed.What could I name myself without doing any damage?Divya became Divyansh, and I finally breathed a whiff of fresh air. Divyansh just means part-divine, but if it saves you the embarrassment of the name of a girl, it’s fine with me.If you can’t be the god, you be the demi-god. And this literally sums up the transition of my name.The rest, as they say, is history.Well, not really, my friends still teased me by that name and I’m still shy, so it didn’t really matter....I just wish English wasn’t this funny of a language.Peace Out!(Image Source: Instagram- Divyansh Mundra (@divyansh_mundra) •

By managing your expectations; that is, by informing you that filling out the forms does not guarantee that you will be chosen for the job. Companies should further manage expectations by describing the actual selection process in more detail and including a time line for the final selection. Armed with this information you can decide whether you wish to spend the time required to fill out the forms.

One word : Excellent. From the top :I skydived with Skydive Dubai above the Palms islands. My jump was at 7:30 AM in the morning. I signNowed the centre at 6:30. I was given 2 forms of 3 pages each to fill and had to put my signatures at hundred places. Yes, in case something goes wrong while jump, these signatures come handy. :PAfter completing all the formalities, I was told to wait. Normally, a jump happens with a group of 6. Two trainers personally accompany a single person, one trainer to dive with the participant, and other to click photos and videos of jump. What happens in a scenario if the trainer was not able to capture photos or videos? Well you get a free jump. One of my friend got lucky and jumped twice as the trainer was not able to capture his video due to some technical issue. Oh wait. it’s my turn now. The board shows my name :DI was excited. I am not scared of heights. That is what I kept telling myself to stay calm before jumping off a plane from 13000 feet. After my group of 6 was decided, I met my instructor. He gave me some tips on how to keep my body and legs positioned while jumping off the plane. I practiced that multiple times because I wanted myself to land alive. Just before getting into the plane :Just before the jump, they make a video of you to capture all your thoughts, excitement, nervousness. I chatted with the instructor who made me feel calm. Then came the moment. 18 of us, 6 participants with 2 instructors for each moved inside the plane. The plane took off with it’s door open :P. We gradually ascended and I was shit scared. The instructor took out his goPro and shot a video inside the plane just before the jump asking me about my experience at 13000 feet above the ground seconds before the jump. I kept quiet. Just before jumping off the plane:And finally, it happened :D The first 10–15 seconds is free fall. You fall down at acceleration due to gravity with the air gushing down your face. The heart thumps heavily and you gradually start enjoying it. Then the instructor finally opens the parachute and you see the real beauty of Dubai. You see the beautiful Palm, the gigantic Burj Khalifa, the stunning 7 star Burj Al Arab and you wish you could freeze that moment. Meanwhile, the second instructor captures that moment beautifully while he also jumps with you. It was an experience to remember !If you ever visit Dubai, don’t miss out SkyDive ! You probably do it once in a lifetime and it stays with you forever.

"It doesn't hurt, get over it."Context: I have Sensory Processing Disorder, meaning my brain cannot accept and organize sensory information properly. The senses you use every moment to understand where you are, what you're feeling, whether or not you're injured are unreliable for me. I was born with it, I live my whole life with it, I will most likely die with it.When diagnosed, back in 2002 while I was in grade 4, little was known about SPD. It was believed to only truly be found in Autism and anyone outside of that spectrum who showed sensory issues had minor delays they simply needed to grow out of. And that's what my parents were told. That I would soon grow out of it and all would be right in the world.Cue the next 12 years of me struggling to understand the issues of my body. When you're told you're normal, but you realize that everyone else isn't going through the same thing as you, it creates a very meased up idea that you are somehow... bad. You're intentionally being this brat that can't understand where your limbs are or freaks out at mushrooms or does the same sound over and over again in your mouth because it feels good. Because I had no label, no understanding, I simply thought I was the worst goddamn human on the planet. Bin Laden was horrendous but at least he didn't vomit on the new floor when finally wearing those socks him mom bought him as a present.Yep.I did that.Christmas Day.Because the fabric was one I could not stand and it caused me that much pain and discomfort.Now, back to the phrase. As I said earlier, SPD buggers up how I experience pain. Velvet is a totrue tool that shold be banned world wide. And in my brain, touching velvet hurts worse than breaking a bone.When I was told over and over to "get over" my sensory issues because the weren't a big deal, I began to rationalize that anything less painful then my sensory issues was obviously not a big deal. If Tomato soup was something I needed to stomach through, then so was PCOS. If an overwhelming shopping mall was something to be happy about, then broken rubs were simply something to laugh at.I'm not exaggerating. I'very broken multiple rubs and I don't know from what. I've mashed my pinkie toes, because I'm unaware of where my legs are going, to the point where they now curl in under my feet.I don't blame my parents. Honestly. They were trusting professionals who didn't really know enough. It's no one's fault. But now I'm older and have the history to look at kids like me and give advice. Look at families like mine and prep them for what happens next. Hopefully a few can learn from my mistakes.I explain sensory pain and all that jazz better here

QUESTION: How do I convince my husband to name our daughter Yunique?OBJECTIVE: You didn’t mention your reason or intended purpose in naming your child a misspelled version of “unique.”There’s nothing wrong with wanting to give your child an unusual name, especially if the child will have a very simple and common, usually one-syllable, last name, such as Smith or Jones.In most instances, the objective of most parents seems to be the same: to give their child a name that will be different enough that the child will stand out, be more identifiable than others and be remembered. However, as your husband may already realize, the end result is usually the opposite of what’s desired.OPTIONS:UNUSUAL: The last 30–40 years, the unusual names given to girls that are pleasant and easy to remember are names like Morgan, Brooke, Madison, Taylor, and Mercedes.Those names, though unusual, are easy to pronounce and, because they are spelled according to the rules of English, they’re easy to remember.BEYOND UNUSUAL: These unusual names are names no one has ever heard before and are nearly impossible to pronounce and remember because their spellings and pronunciations violate the rules of English.EXAMPLES: Chamia, Yunique or Younique, Darneicea, Shawntre, Mireya, Quincious, Shachaamah, Tanikqua, Nailaha, Jericka, Daaimah, Peyshiannse, Ajuleeon, Tiyasis and Nzinga. CONSEQUENCES: A teacher noted in his answer to this question that every student he’s known with one of these “unusual” names has NOT DONE well academically. That is signNow and should be taken seriously.I was always frustrated as a teacher, because, though every student deserves to have teachers show their respect for them by at least remembering their respective names. I couldn’t always give them that. That wasn’t fair to them.A young employee of an office-supply store has one of those nice, unusual names — Taylor — that she’s constantly answering questions about because, in order to be “different,” her mother twisted its spelling into the unpronounceable “Taylre.” when “Taylor” is different enough. This young woman said she doesn’t mind the questions, but customers do, because it puts them in the embarrassing position of having to ask how to pronounce her name.My daughter wanted to name her daughter Ashley with the family name we share — Stephenson — as her middle name, but with a last name beginning with “S,” it meant the child’s initials would be A.S.S. She opted to put the probability of teasing and her child’s potential feelings first by choosing a different first name. Because I don’t like the old-fashioned nature of names like mine, spending a lifetime stuck with it hasn’t been fun.The point is, it’s very unkind, and can actually signNow the level of cruelty, to give our children names which they may not enjoy having.What sort of nicknames are the other children likely to call Yunique? Ninny? Neeny? You-ee? You-nee? Doesn’t Yunique rhyme with geek, wreak and creep?YOUR SOLUTION: Relying on the notion that those who pick on your daughter because of her name “are not the kind of people she would want to be friends with anyway” is naive — the response of an adult who’s ignoring reality in favor of trying to feel superior or “better than” in order to rise above the pettiness of bullying.That’s a concept a child cannot grasp. She will be hurt by the words others say, and that’s the only thing she’ll be able to understand. She’ll believe other kids are making fun of her because she isn’t good enough.In addition, that notion doesn’t teach her effective coping skills and how to get along with others and maintain relationships.CONCLUSION: Obviously, you and your husband need to agree on the name that’s chosen for your unborn baby, with “agree” being the operative word here. This means one parent doesn’t impose his/her will on the other parent.I urge you to seriously consider your husband’s reasons for not wanting the child you share to have the name you’ve chosen, as well as your child’s potential feelings, before committing to a decision.

Yes, if your final semester result is declared on or before 1 august 2018.

Since 2007, you can use your HEvalth Care Power of Attorney form to give that person the right to make decisions about your funeral, cremation, burial, or anatomical donation too.

Any funeral wishes specified are not legally binding as ultimately it is for your executors or administrators (where there are no executors) to decide upon how your body is disposed of and your funeral conducted. However, where a person's wishes have been made clear they will normally be adhered to.

It may not be a legally binding document, but at a minimum, it is a statement of your wishes and other information that you hope your family will follow. In the event of death, many people have certain desires regarding the type of funeral, final interment, and other matters that cannot be taken care of in a will.

Who is responsible for arranging and paying for a funeral? The people named in the deceased's will as their executors (or, if the deceased didn't make a will, their nearest relatives) are primarily responsible for arranging their funeral.

It may not be a legally binding document, but at a minimum, it is a statement of your wishes and other information that you hope your family will follow. In the event of death, many people have certain desires regarding the type of funeral, final interment, and other matters that cannot be taken care of in a will.
