Only if....

Thanks for the overwhelming response to my last post about my shenanigans in the share market... come on - 6 comments is overwhelming, sometimes I don’t get even one... so, thank you!
Well, some of the responses were pretty serious - guess most of the people can't take share market in other way but seriously, except for some jokers like me...

Anyways, let’s move on to the topic of the day…

I was thinking… what if Harivansh Rai Bachhan (Amitabh’s father) wasn’t a poet? He would not have used the title Bachhan – something the poets of those days used to do (may be they do it even today as well, I wouldn’t know)… Amitabh would have been Amitabh Rai, not Amitabh Bachhan (Rai is his real surname anyways) and Abhishek would have been Abhishek Rai… and, here is the funny part – Aishwarya Rai Bachhan would have been Aishwarya Rai Rai…

But then, do you expect a name like Amitabh Rai to be superstar (no offense to all my Rai friends!)? And we all know that Aishwarya did not marry Abhishek, she married into the Bachhan family… and if so, if Abhishek would have been Rai, may Aishwaraya Rai would have been Aishwarya Rai Oberoi!

Confused? Go back and read it again :)
