THE NAMING BURDEN

The name given to any person has a meaning. Some names came out to be a burden to the bearer. Thishida Nasimalwa was named after the circumstances. His father was Asweda (though not biological), and his mother was Suzana. His birth was closely followed by challenges in the family, which earned him the name Thishida Nasimalwa. The name meant a person born when the family had extreme problems. Some of the causes that made him earn the name were the injuries he further faced during his birth and the dramatic seris of events that would have led to Suzana being stoned to death.
