Telugu Name (and Initials) Generator

We have all seen those long telugu names PVSN Rao, LVLN Sriram, PGVSSR Sastri. Having seen this, I feel it is possible to generate Telugu names. Please do suggest some more names to make this generator complete

Initial 1

• Potti
• Pota
• Pubba
• Potha
• Gade
• Golla

Initial 2

• (Always)Venkata

Initial 3

• (Usually)Sathya

Initial 4

• Ramiah
• Subbiah
• Sreerama
• Subba

Initial 5

• Rao
• Sastry
• (or) i ending names (Kesineni / Dasari et al)
• Naidu

Some points to note

• A common point is that these penta/Hexa initialled names usually have a common V or an S.
• Just in case this 11756 (26^3) names falls short (pun intended)[Not 11.8 Million as V and S are common], you may prefix village names such as Khammam, Cudappah
• Just for personal aggrandizement you may also add Veera, Bahadur as prefix
• Given that a lot of Telugu speaking people are in US, the western influence coupled with an increasing population may lead to overlap of 2 people having the same COMMON and SIMPLE name such as PKVSMP Rao, in which case they may start suffixing it with numbers. Example PKVSMP Rao IIs grandson-in-law PKVSMP Rao IV [After all most Telugu speaking people are renowned for their prowess with numbers]

USING A COMBINATION FROM ANY OF THE ABOVE 5 LOTS, YOU MAY CREATE MESMERIZING (AND BAFFLING) INITIAL AND NAME TRAINS.

Having written this name Generator I remembered this famous Bond Joke (Reproduced for easy reference)

JAMES BOND MEETS A TELUGU GUY...............

On a flight James bond was sitting next to a Telugu guy.

Telugu Guy: "Hello, May I know your name please?"
James Bond: "My name is Bond" Continuing in his inimitable style,
"......James Bond."

Then Bond asks: "And you?"
Telugu Guy: " My name is Rao...
Siva Rao...
Samba Siva Rao...
Venkata Samba Siva Rao...
Yarlagadda Venkata Samba Siva Rao...
Rajasekhara Yarlagadda Venkata Samba Siva Rao...
Sitaramanjaneyula Rajasekhara Yarlagadda Venkata Samba Siva Rao...
Vijayawada Sitaramanjaneyula Rajasekhara Yarlagadda Venkata Samba Siva
Rao..."

Buridans ass and developing a human infrastructure for performance

Buridans ass is a classic where there is a thirsty and hungry donkey and lack of random events(a nudge of the donkey)  could be standing equidistant from both Food and Water.

In real-life there are 2 learnings from this - 

1. The difficult thing is to create ways by which you establish a means to measure and reward setting up the infrastructure for performance (getting food and water and the thirst donkey) in its place. Otherwise , there is always a winner take all of a new person who could potntially reap the benefits of the predecessor by nudging the donkey for performance

2. Innovation is the nudge. Most of us are in the process of hunting for food and water (incentives) with a process of linear thinking. The nudge creates the move to food or water in a different way since the world is full of opportunity anyway.

Credits: Fooled by randomness for leading me to Buridans ass

Know your boss to profit

Attention span and learning differ. What you need to do to get your point across cannot be one formula fits all.

Readers - Reads everything/ Does not believe that it is work unless it has prose beyond 250 pages

Skimmers - Can retain 3 points. Needs to be 1 page and should be understood by all. Try the cabby first

Tearers - Cannot read until they criticise it

Discussers - Cannot read or understand unless explained. Usually prolonged discussions

Writers - Most difficult to get the point across - need to contribute to understand

You can do MBTI and other tricks to type cast your boss, but gettng your OWN fundamental definition of the boss is critical to get YOUR message across.
