a new name, a new address

i bought myself a new domain… this one.

my name used to be ousep for a while after i was born… not for too long though. it got changed to joseph, and that set the ball rolling for more joseph pottenkulams in my family. i know three others, and i’m sure there are many more. i have been asked if i’m the joseph pottenkulam who…

  • studied at alleppey [x]
  • is studying in std 12 at cochin [x]
  • got married recently [x]
  • got married a while back [x]
  • has a shrimp farming business [x]
  • does handstands [x]
  • died a few years ago [?]
  • is slowly going bald [imagine tick here]

so, to sort out the whole identity crisis issue, i’m shifting my blog to this shiny new domain. so… even if nobody knows which ousep i am, they’d feel pretty stupid asking if i’m ousep from cochin. that’d be like asking someone if he’s raju from nepal.

for those who don’t know, which would be most of you… ousep (or ouseph) is the malayalam version of joseph. much like the italians have giuseppe, and the arabs have yusuf, and the czechs have jzoezsepzf. okay, so i made the last one up. plus, ousep was my callter-ego back in school. the name has served me well in the past, and it is mine again…

so, for both my regular readers, update your bookmarks. or learn the new spelling.
