My erstwhile feminist daughter has now turned over a new leaf. Well, this is solely my personal view when I read her mail that she has finally decided to change her last name after marriage. She said, “Momma, I think it is a silly issue debating whether to retain one’s maiden name or not to. After all, like a rose you call me by any name I will be just as sweet!”

I wonder if Bard would have approved of her comparisons. But I would rather worry about her running to and forth the passport office in Kolkata where she is currently than fancying about Bard. However, getting your name and address changed in passport is no longer a big task. You can apply online and then just submit the necessary documents either in person or by speed post.

I was thinking of a girl who after getting married was to settle abroad. I wondered if she after moving out of India were to get her name changed what she would do. Well, there wouldn’t be a need to fly back home thanks to Sahara Care House. All that a person needs to do in order to get changes (such as name after marriage) is get in touch with Sahara Care House and hand them the copies of relevant documents and the processing fee to be submitted at the passport office. For a small service charge they will facilitate the whole process and you will have your passport with your new name!
Ah, but your passport will (I hope) smell as sweet!
