How Meghneel came to be known as "Mike"

The reincarnation of Meghneel Gore to Mike Gore (as in Al Gore) is a story that everyone is dying to know (or at least that's what I like to think ;) However, the story is not long or winding as people are led to believe HAHAHA. Far from it, the story is quite small, and therefore, I am filibustering here just to make this blog bigger so that people see in my profile that I have written many many words in this blogger life of mine.

So anyway, here goes the story:
Far far away in a galaxy forgotten by time... okay okay, actually it was the Milky Way galaxy, the planet was earth and the country was the United States of America. A handsome (ya, right) guy walked into a restaurant called "The Coyote" (or something like that, I don't quite remember). Now, this restaurant has a peculiar tradition. Anyone who wants to order food there (I don't know what else you can order in a restaurant), has to go up to the counter, select their dish and tell the cashier. Upon doing this, the cashier charges you the requisite amount of money and asks your name (asks your name, you ask? Why in the world does the cashier require your name?) Well, it's just that when your order is ready, the cashier calls out your name so that you are alerted to the fact that your gastronomical adventures are soon to be fulfilled! :D So anyway, this Meghneel guy went to the cashier, ordered his food and gave his name thus: "My name is Meghneel." The cashier, being from Mexico as he was, didn't know what "Meghneel" is, so he said, "What?" So Meghneel said, "Meghneel." Again the cashier said, "Meg-meal?" So Meghneel said, "No, it's Meghneel - M E G H N E E L." So the cashier said, "How do you say that?" So Meghneel said, "Meghneel." Upon which, the cashier said, "What?" So Meghneel said, "Just call me Mike." Which is the name of every 5th person in the United States, and pretty easy to say. The cashier was happy, Meghneel was happy and everything turned out okay, right? NOOOOOOOOOOO. Anoop, a friend of Meghneel's was standing there and heard this conversation. He took grave exception to the fact that Meghneel didn't ask the cashier to say "Neel" or "Megh" or some other permutation of his name, but jumped the gun and asked the cashier to say "Mike." Therefore, Meghneel's name has been permanently changed into Mike as a sort of a condescension. However, Meghneel is not bothered. He believes in Shakespear and therefore doesn't mind anyone calling him other names, because he knows that a name is just a label, the l-value doesn't change!

How's that for a bird?
