2013-2024 Form

Thanks for the A2A.K-Pop is special. When I first got into it in 2013, all I knew was that it was a music genre from Korea and as I already was into K-Dramas, I thought why not give this a try? And then my love for it grew constantly.I like the way these K-Pop bands sing all kinds of genres. They are multi-talented humans who excel in everything they do. They can sing acoustic medleys, ballads, hip-hop, jazz, pop, R&B, funk..what not! Some groups compose their own music too.I’m a big fan of dances although I’m not a great dancer. For me, it is the MVs that makes K-Pop unique and different from Western music. The production, choreography, outfits, theme, makeup and the performances simply amaze you. It transports you into a different world for that 5 minutes and makes you forget the fact that you don’t understand what they’re singing. (International fan problems!) And when you come to know the meaning, you’re in awe. You can understand the passion and pain in the songs which makes it even more worth listening to.

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) •

A2A The rest of the world uses your real age not your Korean age. The Korean age is nine months earlier than real age. That will save confusion in the future.
