How Annika came to be Annika..

Honestly, I don't think we can confidently say we came up a brainwave.. I always knew about Annika Sorenstam, the golfer, and not once did I say that "That is the name of my daughter.. " or something like that.. There were a couple of other names which we had in mind way before we got pregnant, - D wanted Khyati, while I always thought Sabah was a good name.. But there never was anything fixed.. For some reason we always thought that we would have a boy, primarily because we (or rather, I) wanted a girl so bad that I didn't want to get disappointed at it being a boy...   Anyway, I digress..   Like most prospective parents these days, we started our search with the internet.. To cut a long story short, we found a whole bunch of names on some sites, the best of which this one - http://www.all-babynames.com/ .. We found Annika there, and liked it.. but it said that was " a pet form for Anna".. That's where Annika Sorenstam came in.. We googled...

Hello World

Hello World.. This is the second in the list of my blogs.. This one though is dedicated to my daughter Annika, and should be only about things that relate to her in some way.. As yet, it is still a nebulous idea, so things might change over time. However, it would remain about "Things - Annika" as they say in some parts of the world.. One of the ideas I have is to involve guest posts from other members of the family on their experiences and thoughts on the apple of my eye, so anyone interested in contributing on a regular basis, please get in touch with me.. All in all this would be the best place to keep up to date on the happenings in the lives of Annika Panjikar.
