My Name is DV Gandhi

My name is Deep Ved Gandhi. I m touting like SRK did in his recent flick MNIK. So you must be wondering why a new surname. Well why not! My friend just gave me this brilliant idea. According to him some people get direct benefits for being gandhi, khan etc. So here I m., from now on I m Deep Ved Gandhi. Recently Varun Gandhi got the post in BJP core committee even after brazen remarks spouted during an election rally. Rahul baba is known for everything now a days - youth icon, prince charming, eligible bachelor, great ruler and even future Indian PM . Well who says whats in name, come to india and everything is in name only. So now I m DV Gandhi.
In-fact everyone should suffix a Gandhi to their surname to show the love and reap the benefits.

Gandhi is pretty secular as well.
Some believe Indira's son should be Rajiv Khan, yet it was called as Rajiv Gandhi.
Converted Rajiv Khan's son should be Christian yet he is Raul..... I mean Rahul Gandhi.

Funny that you mention the whole "last name hang up" thing. Just being a Rai made me Aishwarya Rai's cousin in the eyes of almost everyone I knew in US. (Not that I am not complaining.)

Gandhi is a powerful suffix no doubt. But maybe we all have Gandhi Hang up (Congress had its share, I guess BJP got its own little Gandhi now.) I don't care if the guy who comes in politics is a Gandhi or Naqvi or a Salvi. I just want to see young whippersnappers to light up a dull morning newspaper. :-D

Also, I won't be too quick to judge Varun Gandhi's abilities as a politician. Ever heard of mislead youth? He could very well be a case of that.

p.s.: and no deep, you can't pull off a Gandhi.

also the origin of Gandhi as a surname for nehru's family(i.e. Indira Gandhi) was an idea given by MK Gandhi himself to cover up the muslim origin of Indira's husband. Bapu himself knew the power of his surname.
