What's in a Name?

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

Shakespeare immortalized these words decades ago, for years they hav ruled the lips of mankind but today i came across something which makes them sound frivolous, no im not undermining the greatest maestro of literature of all times,just believing that the idea is not as universal as i used to think. it is right in many circumstances not to be tied down or held back by your name, yet there are others where your name is your identity, your pride, your persona, your whole life and that's when it matters the most. What i came across was a movie ' my name is khan' a sweet yet tragic, a heroic yet innocent account which separates yet generalizes the misery and divide a name can bring and somehow also manages to unite and uplift what individuals connected by a name can do without emphasizing on it. the actions are not meant to add grandeur to the name but confirm that actions can be there, despite what the name is..
its not the story of a man trying to fight against the system, but of one trying to keep his word.its not about proving something to someone but about loving as only the truest can. its a story of humanity divided and yet again united by a name, here it was Khan - it might be any what does it matter so long it unites, you might say...but it matters to those who carry it, who live it, who have their lives turned upside down by it.
A rose may not be able to feel, to complain, to express if it is discriminated upon, it may only be able to spread its sweetness ( and believe me when i say you cannot convey the same joy the promise of roses brings by a promise of marigolds; and i'd complain to tht if i were a marigold) but humans can, and to them it does matter.....
