How the Name Came About.

My friend Sonia named herself in MSN as 'Oh names what a pain!'. I felt so too when all my names were rejected one after another as aleady being taken.

My first choice (of salutation) was Phaedrus after that intense hero of Robert M. Pirsig's first novel 'The Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance'.
My second attempt was to have thesundew my long-running hotmail and yahoo id. That came to naught too.
Then came to mind, frangipani, buoyed because I had found the name of a flower i had been in love for so long. Well, not yet lucky.
Then I keyed in confidently, 'theshapeofherbite'. I knew many people shall immediately imagine erotica; such it is common evocation. But the phrase has as its fountainhead a poem by A K Ramanujan titled Still Life.
