Thursday’s cyclone may have caused havoc in some southern districts of the State, though not as severely as was feared earlier, parents in certain areas, not that much affected, had a fancy of christening their newborn baby girls as ‘Titli’ in remembrance of the disaster.
Parents, especially mothers, appeared to be fascinated by the sweet-sounding word Titli, which is a Pakistani term for butterfly.
As reported on the day, some parents in Bhubaneswar, Jagatsinghpur district and Aska in Ganjam district proudly stated that they named their daughters after Titli.
