Dilemma about Kumar & Abhishek

I guess after a considerable amount of time spent on earth, one thing every person is very much sure of is his/her NAME. But guess what, at this point if some one asks me my name .... M CONFUSED.

Well it all started with the damn registrar of my school who put my name in reverse in the certificates. Till 12th I could handle it. Then came college, I dint knew a change of place would cause a change in name. So I came to be known as "Kumar". I took pride in that name !! n almost forgot that "Abhishek" was also attached to it. College was fun, days went by and "Kumar" stabalised. So the first interview I attended, I was asked whether to be called "Kumar" or "Abhishek". In came the prompt reply "Kumar". Interviewer asked "Then what is Abhishek for" ? "Stumped" :) I had never thought of it !!!

Joined a company and there was a welcome change. I came to be known as "Abhishek". Thankfully now I could tell everybody that "Kumar" was the title :) But as always the ghost was right behind. Went for a Visa Interview where my passport said "Kumar" and I contradicted with "Abhishek" !!! Result, Visa on hold :)

After fiddling long with the name, I thought "Abhishek" was one thing to get settled about. Naah !! Guess what, Americans find it a tounge twister :) they prefer "Kumar" :D

And the confusion continues ....

And also please correct the spelling of Dilemma. It's a double 'm'. :)
