By Faiza Khan
In India, names are given based on their meaning.
Faiza; one who provides benefit to others.
I believe my parents thought ahead and wanted me to serve.
However, my grandfather changed my first name; Sanober (a beautiful tree, with a short life).
So here I am, blessed with a lifetime of service.
Choice or fate?
