You are saved on my phone as Savvy Southampton Misra. I cannot remember how or why I christened you Southampton (maybe autocorrect), but after reading this, it clearly fits. :)

I just thought you used savvy as a descriptor and your name is Soumya. 💀😆

I came here to share the story with another fellow OSC writer. Couldn't resist reading it again :) Keep 'em coming, Savvy!

My Dearest Pallo,

Like a true blue Bihari, dad did two things 1) gave me a two-name name. Like Shekhar Suman, Pankaj Anand, Prem Pradeep, Rakesh Ranjan. Similarly, Savvy Soumya. 2) He refused to add a surname to the name. So let's say I was born as Savvy Soumya (only).

For more perspective, my brother is Ashish Gyan.

Love, Savvy Soumya.
