Even some of my Teachers would also used this name sometimes. There were some incidents which happened related to name "NV"
- One thing I can't forget is my Sanskrit Teacher, all through my 3 yrs of High school, she used to call me NV. I think even today she won't recognize me, if I say my name is Manoj.
- One more Incident was when I was in 9th standard, I was asked a Question by my Science Teacher, and following the answer he asked me what my name was? I responded "Manoj NV", to which he said "What? Non-Vegetarian Manoj??". Me hailing from Orthodox Brahmin family felt pretty embarrassed in front of the class. Few of my friends who new my background were giggling at this..
- There were few incidents, wherein teachers directly related my initials to then Onida Tag line. "Neighbor's Envy Owners Pride".
Over the years, the call "NV" diminished completely as I adorned lot of other nick names like Mannu (to some of my Northy frnds), Manu tata (that's what my college mates call me), and most of the times in office it'll be just Manoj.
