One day, during a family gathering, my older sister, who struggled to pronounce my full name “Sushant” playfully called me “Vicky” instead which resonated with her own nick name “Nicky”. The name stuck, and soon enough, my parents, family and close friends began using it as well. Nicky & Vicky was so easy for my parents as well and hence there was no looking back even though it didn’t have anything to do with my full name. They lived it and with time I started loving it too…
