Dad's comments: This is the naming ceremony. Among Tamils, first-borns
are named after their grandparents (e.g. my grandfather's
name is also Krishnan). To appease the Gods and keep
tradition intact, we named him as a combination of his
grandpa's name and his "legal" name. The pujari, with his
heavy Malayalam accent pronounced it like the title of the
photo. "Sharman" is a standard suffix - the equivalent of
Mr.
