Okay, I'll accept that 'Rahul' is one of the most common Indian names - it's at the back of most kaali-peelis, signages on tyre shops and jewellery showrooms. But, Rahul daCunha made me unique.

The fact is there are hundreds of Rahul Kumars and Rahul Patels, but just one Rahul daCunha. Till last month, when disaster struck, and I discovered there was one other Rahul daCunha in this world. Okay, he's actually Rahul DeCunha, but that's a detail. The other guy, he's a wedding photographer. How do I know this? October is wedding season, and I was suddenly asked on MSN messenger and mail and WhatsApp if I'd shoot a destination wedding in Goa, a bachelor party in Seychelles, a sangeet in Udaipur, and a bachelorette in the Maldives, and what were my charges.
