nehasri
It is not an acronym but a shortened form of my full name: Neha Srivastava. So, you guys could call me Neha if you want :) But, after so many days as @nehasri , it just kind of sounds good. It's my identity as a writer. I love this shortened form for a specific reason, even though that was not it when I started using it - it can be divided into two parts - neha & sri. Neha, my actual name, is derived from the Sanskrit word "sneh" meaning love or affection, thus, in essence it means love or someone who loves. Sri, the suffix I use and which is taken from my surname "srivastava", means Goddess. So essentially, my pen-name means "love-goddess". Hence, in every thing I write, love, in any of its myriad forms, is an important part.
