Bonjoor Vishnupriya

Bozo and I are clearly very similar. When I was in hospital, the nurses kept calling me in the name I was registered, Vishnupriya. And getting very limited response to it.

Then my family recalled the issue we had had with Bozo in his kennel. When he was a pup I had fancily gotten Bonjour written on the tag attached to his collar. Seeing that, the people there were apparently calling him Bonjoor. Bonjoor as a result was giving a shit at commands and instructions. Till we realised the implications of my creativity, removed the collar and rectified his name with the people there.
They remembered that and asked the nurses to call me Priya. Sure enough, I knew I when was being spoken to and listened. Needless to say, things improved after that.
